- diggerdong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hey, but anne hathaway doesn't take off her top until minute 11!
- Backlash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Cool concept, now I going to have to DL war of the worlds after seeing the first 10 min :D
- REpler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1LOL - looks like the site only lasted for the first ten minutes
- paintist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh boy, I can't wait to watch all those opening credits..
- RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hmm... want to know what movies show TNA in the first ten minutes? Just look at their server logs and you can probably find out...
- jeolmeun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://noogoocopy.blogspot.com/2005/06/copyright-loophole-for-legal-file.html
Here is an idea for legally file sharing: Fair Use.
More specifically, "a quotation from copyrighted material when the excerpt is used for teaching, research, news reporting, comment, criticism or parody."
(http://www.riaa.com/issues/copyright/laws.asp)
For example, a 3 minute song distributed over the internet from one location may violate the copyright law.
But what about a 3 minute song divided into 3 second clips, accompanied by a news report, comment, or criticism, distributed from 60 different locations? - spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why not just download the whole thing on Limewire, after all, it's legal in Canada!
- DesertSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Reminds me of those days in my youth when I would watch the movies on PPV since they showed the first 5-10 min of a movie before going scrambled. Dugg for the concept alone.
- yensed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool idea.. But would make more sense if you could watch the forst 10 mins, then if you want the rest you can pay and watch it online. Instead of "You just watched the first 10 mins, now go buy it from amazon and you will get the rest in a few days.".
- sanket21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i reached 5 mins late for "The Family Stone" .. .. probably i ll make it up for free now :D ..
nice concept..for whoever misses the beginnnin .. due to trafic jams .. - jinexile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Copyright laws allow you to copy something like 10% of whatever. Most movies are 90-120 minutes.
- psbp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks cool. I might use this just to see things like production quality and general idea of a film I might be interested in watching. Within the first 10 minutes of most films I can usually decide weather it's complete crap or looks interesting.
- NathanLoehlein, on 07/27/2009, -0/+0mrinternet: First 10 minutes. Only. I can see it being legal, how else would they do it on PPV?
- mrinternet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0note url only shows a few films use the browse (at the top) most of the entire netflix movie list is there.
- crazooDOTcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0NuttySquirrel - there is no way to legally do it - except getting permission to distribute these movies (or the first 10 minutes) on the net which I doubt they have done or a company would agree to.
- crazooDOTcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting, but most likely not legal.
"Note: All movie clips that First10Minutes promotes contain the proper copyrights and/or production studio logos at the beginning of the clip to signify rightful ownership. We do not claim to own the rights to the movies nor do we claim to be affiliated with any of the movie production companies. We are a private company looking to revolutionize the way movies are to be promoted and advertised. Our service is free because we profit from affiliations with Amazon, Netflix and many other different sponsors."
Just because the movie contains the copyright or logo, doesn't give you the right to use it on your website.
Interesting and useful site though. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0these people dont know how to count to five.
herby and charlie and the chocolate factory came out a couple months ago. - vaporboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0she's down captain!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0First 10 minutes of 'War of the Worlds'....WOW! The AMAZING special effects just blew me away!
- HeavyMetalPat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is just plain dumb. It would be like watching a really long trailer. So stupid
- rscmedia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0good luck. Bet it's gone within a week.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Who care if its legal or illegal, except the DMCA. Just enjoy it and dont be contacting the DMCA and be spoiling it for everyone.
- iSEPIC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0looks like a site to get referran credits from amazon and netflix.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lame
- shafiq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0digg effect???
- crazooDOTcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>
It's just a preview so you can decide if you want to watch the rest of the movie...although it's kind of a vibe kill if the movie's good and it cuts off after 10 minutes =( - crazooDOTcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good idea mrInternet...goes to register second10minutes.com =D
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Serenity did this.
- GhostFreeman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm going to take advantage of this before they DMCA it
- gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"hey, but anne hathaway doesn't take off her top until minute 11!

First1Hour.com ? - jsnkc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Most movies barely get through the opening credits in the first 10 minutes.
- ross., on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Copyright laws allow you to copy something like 10% of whatever. Most movies are 90-120 minutes."
Errrm I think that only applies to books and under educational circumstances.
The bottom line is, you can not reproduce someone else's work without permission. - carlosreif, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0why would I want to do that?
- gsusgsus, on 01/28/2009, -0/+010 Minutes is good but there mega video, yaman etc which are good for bigger parts. Full free movies = http://stage66.com
- freakyrunnerguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0which movie did anne hathaway take off her top?
- fortezza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why watch just the first 10 minutes when I can watch the whole thing for free?
- harim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0404 errors - look like the site is out of commission
- SirNuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, my first impression was "There has been a /lot/ of really bad movies released over the last 5 years on DVD." I could say something anti-MPAA right now, but I think that speaks for itself.
- AjaxDiggz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yup, it's gone except for that start page. Now the question is whether or not it was ***** or DMCA'ed.
- soulcages01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LOL repler - yeah, the site lasted 10 minutes before it went down... DIGG EFFECT = NO DIGG
- loganator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://digg.com/movies/Watch_The_First_10_Minutes_of_DVD_s
- tazamore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The MPAA storm troopers will promptly be seizing that server and its logs and will probably prosecute every last visitor to the site. Therefore no click and no digg.
- TDTech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Since when was it illegal to show 10minutes of a movie? Its just like music. You can show a preview but not the whole thing.
- tindenver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Set up a site where people can listen to the first ten minutes of any song released in the last five years... that would get some traffic.
- EDantzer, on 10/12/2009, -0/+0Please note: A recent spike in visitor activity has caused usto remove the videos until we can move to our new server with increasedbandwidth. Please be patient as this will take a few days.
meh! - Satertek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Either way the site is probably pretty pissed at our friend Navin.... :)
