Apple has signed a deal with News Corp.’s 20th Century Fox to allow Apple to rent the latest Fox DVD releases via downloads from the iTunes Store, which will be playable for a limited time, according to a report in the UK’s Financial Times. In addition, Fox will provide a FairPlay-protected file with its DVDs which will let consumers copy the content to an iPod or iPhone for mobile viewing, according to the report. News Corp. declined to comment on or confirm the accuracy of the report to MacNewsWorld, and Apple did not respond to requests for confirmation and additional detail.
