EZTakes, Inc. was founded in June 2003, by executives with a long track record of starting and building highly-successful companies in diverse industries such as banking, document management and consumer e-commerce. Shortly after starting the company, the founders assembled a team of experienced enterprise software engineers and then kicked off the development the EZTakes Movie Download Store, which they believe is the "killer app" for feature-length movie distribution over the Internet. While other Internet video distribution implementations require that consumers huddle around a PC monitor to watch a feature-length film, EZTakes is the first service that enables tens of millions of consumers to purchase, download and then enjoy content in their living rooms, without having to buy, install configure or learn any new devices; consumers can simply use the 135 million DVD players that they already own.

Perhaps the greatest challenge the entertainment industry faces today is that it must learn how to compete with free. EZTakes believes that in order to compete with free, you must offer a level of value and convenience that makes your offering better than free. You cannot compete with free, and protect old business models, by using highly restrictive and ultimately futile technology designed to control paying customers. By enabling customers to burn their purchased downloads to playable DVDs, EZTakes is providing the kind of value and convenience that literally millions of people are willing to pay for. This enables us to carry out our primary mission: Connect content owners with paying customers by using the Internet. EZTakes is already outselling download services provided by billion-dollar companies by up to 1000% for the same titles. That's because just about all of those "me-to" services suffer from the same fatal flaw: they are crippled with futile Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology that makes them unusable for paying customers. At the same time, the vast majority of experts now agree that DRM does nothing to stop piracy and is harmful to both consumers and the entertainment industry (read here, here and here).

The EZTakes Movie Download Store was built for scalability and flexibility. The site's fully distributed back-end can expand to multiple content delivery servers across multiple data centers and can even exploit peer-to-peer technology in the future for super distribution at costs that are a small fraction of physical DVD distribution costs. EZTakes has filed for a number of patents to protect the unique inventions and technologies that it has developed while implementing EZTakes. All software development is managed out of the company headquarters in Northampton, Massachusetts, USA.
