DRM-free BitTorrent video store from Sweden

Headweb is a new DRM-free video service from Sweden that sells feature films as DRM-free video-files; download them as torrents (earn credits for seeding them), burn them to DVD when they arrive. They've got 450 movies now and claim that they'll break 1000 in short order. They're also promising to open outside of Sweden soon. Link (Thanks, Per!)

I'm sorry for mentioning my own company, but it's appropriate in this instance.

EZTakes has been offering legal, DRM-free, burnable movie downloads for years. We have over 4,000 licensed movies (almost 10X Headweb); the software for burning any of our downloads to playable DVDs (with extras and special features) is built-into our free download manager (or you can use any other burning package); we support OS X and Windows; and we also have a option that lets you legally export a DRM-free MP4 to your iPod, Zune or other portable device.

I don't want to take anything away from the Headweb folks. I think what they are doing is great and I wish them the best of luck.

Wouldn't it be great if these were Sweded movies from Sweden?

@ Jim Flynn, they aren't really free to download, though, are they. I think that was the point.

@MOON, I'm pretty sure the Headweb films aren't free, either. They're just DRM-free.

EZTakes is cool, btw. They're handling the release of the Joel Hodgson, et al. Cinematic Titanic discs.
