YouTube to start renting videos...me to be confused because I thought YouTube was free

YouTube made its long-awaited entry on Wednesday into the business of online movie rentals. But do not expect to be able to stream to your PC the latest Hollywood blockbuster or even a flick from a studio’s dusty catalog of classics.

YouTube, which is owned by Google, is introducing its rental service with just five movies, all from independent filmmakers.

YouTube is unveiling the rental service in conjunction with the start of the Sundance Film Festival. All five films offered for rent on YouTube are part of the festival this year or were shown at the event last year.
