Updated 2009: Bittorrent video on demand anno 2005

Smart Mobs: Prodigem Marketplace: Bittorrent plus Creative Commons plus PayPal: “Stanford graduate student Gary Lerhaupt has put together Bittorrent-like data transfer, Creative Commons licensing, and Paypal to create Prodigem Marketplace. Success will depend on achieving a critical mass of culture creators and paying culture consumers — but if that happens, Lerhaupt might well have come up with a viable answer to the DRM wars. Peer-to-peer distribution isn’t a crime — stealing is a crime. So why not create a p2p marketplace where people can upload their work and know that the system will mediate transactions?”

My comment: Slap some commercial on those files and give it to us for free, that would be the way to go. The success of p2p is conveniency and NO PAYMENT.

Update: Prodigem becomes MoveDigital.
