  This rumor has been going around for years. Is anything different this time? http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=5302 http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=5302

  Amazon OWNS Lovefilm, the most popular DVD rental site in the UK. I use Lovefilm, because it aggregates to about £1.25 per DVD over a month, and that's damn good.

    Do you have evidence of that? Their site indicates they're privately owned and VC backed.

      Here's one: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/05/amazon_lovefilm/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/05/amazon_lovefilm/ I think it's a stake.

  A rumor of this variety, when it has substance, tends to produce more of a lift in the stock. This one came from weak sources, and has been oft repeated in the past.
