Google videos no longer work Aug10 '07
I received a notice from Google, stating that my purchased videos (from Google Video) will no longer be viewable.
In an effort to improve all Google services, we will no longer offer the ability to buy or rent videos for download from Google Video, ending the DTO/DTR (download-to-own/rent) program.
The only video I recall purchasing was game four of the 2006 Bulls/Heat series for $3.95.
To fully account for the video purchases you made before July 18, 2007, we are providing you with a Google Checkout bonus for $5.00.
Might be useful for something. Although I'd rather have my copy of the video in a compatible format.
Makes me wonder if other media, like iTunes downloads, will someday become incompatible, and Apple will just tell us to repurchase everything.
