08 Mar, 2006 5:44 pm iTunes offers monthly deal, Multi-Pass [sdp=71269]  
News from Cnet News.com, a new subscription model, called Multi-Pass, is now available through Apple Computer's iTunes Music Store for TV shows.

Quote:
The service, unveiled Wednesday, is being offered in partnership with Viacom's Comedy Central cable network, which is rolling out "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report" on Multi-Pass.

Fans will be able to buy the next month's series of 16 new episodes via Multi-Pass for $9.99, or pay $1.99 per episode. Four episodes air each week, and Multi-Pass customers can download each episode after it's been broadcast.


It is also noted that Apple has sold 8 million videos through iTunes Music Store.

Now that Apple has added a subscription service to the iTMS, are files no longer playable if your
subscription lapses? Or, unlike other subscription DRM services, do you get to keep the files?

It seems like this "subscription" is different to others. It's kind of prepaid for discount. Users can still keep the video they bought.

From iTunes Music Store,
Quote:
This Multi-Pass includes the most recent episode (if one is available) and the next 15 new episodes of XXXX. The most recent episode (if available) will download immediately and future episodes will download as they become available.


That's 16 episodes for $9.99 instead of $1.99 per episode.
