...step and a markedly different business for YouTube. The site's revenue comes from the advertisements (served by corporate parent Google) that run along with the video clips. But the site, which incurs massive bandwidth costs from millions of simultaneously streaming videos, has yet to turn a profit. YouTube has long had an interest in partnering with major studios for a foray into the rental business, but at this point it is late in the game: Apple's iTunes began offering movie rentals in 2008, and Amazon.com has a movie store as well.

But with the end of colonialism in 1975, Ibo was forgotten. Today, just 3,500 people live in and around the crumbling colonnades and red-tiled townhouses whose gardens still overflow with frangipanis, bougainvilleas and Indian almonds imported by the island's opulent forebears. And somehow, despite being considered for U.N. World Heritage status, Ibo has been barely rediscovered. There are just three small...
