Amazon already offer a streaming service under the Amazon Instant Video brand in the US, the main reason they purchased Lovefilm is so that could be extended into Europe without them needing to start from scratch. They would probably have rebranded Lovefilm into Instant Video if Lovefilm wasn't so well known.
