On how users can watch any Amazon movie for free instead of renting it:
"Amazon starts to stream the entire movie during the free preview -- even though it pauses the video on the Web browser after the first two minutes -- so that users can start watching the rest of the video right away once they pay... However, even if a user doesn't pay, the stream still sends the movie to the video catching software, but not the browser."
