The service, called Amazon Unbox, will offer content from six major Hollywood studios, including 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros., as well as TV networks such as CBS and Fox and cable channels like Comedy Central and E! Entertainment, Amazon said in a statement.

Amazon customers will be able to buy downloads on one computer but download them to another, such as a home computer. The service does not allow copying of content onto a CD.

Think they meant DVD here and not CD. Probably the only reason making this not worthwhile in other countries - wouldn't even bother with SA with the punitive cap.
