future of P2P?
the name is Peerflix...
hmm.. wonder if it will really be safe from any infringements... if it is, this may be the next big thing in file sharing - literally disc sharing. the concept is simple. you sign up for the service, and swap (ie. buy and sell) original DVDs, CDs, and stuff... (of cos, the obvious worry for the industries are that ppl will duplicate games, music CDs, videos, etc. before passing it on to be sold, but this is not encouraged by Peerflix of cos.. lol) how do they stay out of the law's reach? the founder of this says that "...because the ownership on our network transfers with the trade, it's a fully legal environment." apparantly protected by the first-sale doctrine under the U.S. Copyright Act. hmm.. the price is definitely much cheaper than any rental/2nd hand shops... and there will definitely be ppl duplicating copies before passing on, but they can't catch them, can they? whatever it is, it is worth to wait-and-see for now... read the article on this here. posted by winz at 10:14 AM 0 comments
