Amazon Prime's free VOD is a different animal in most respects (ie,
there's not a billing trransaction per-viewing), and has been out
since like, Monday.

Anyhoo, it would be nice to see people at least feign an interest in
our plugin which is capable of such a thing (at least here on our
lists) before hunting for a totally unrelated grabber on a totally
unrelated product.  Just MHO.
