Peer to Peer technology used for TV and video distribution
Torrent sites continue to be blamed for the many ills of society. But wait, is it not just a case of the technology not being used correctly and the way in which it was intended? VODO thinks so, and is attempting to open up torrent sites for filmmakers to utilize.
Torrent Sites
What are torrent sites used for? Many of you would have answered that it’s pretty much all pirated content being shared via torrents. And while there is a lot of copyrighted material being shared illegally on them, there is also much that is legal and copyright-free.
There are very few companies and organizations who have taken advantage of the technology as a way to distribute content thus far. But VODO is one of these, allowing and encouraging filmmakers to use torrent sites to seed their features and get them out there being watched.

What do you do if your current policy is failing to pay dividends? Change your strategy and try something new or up the current efforts to even more extreme levels? If you’re the MPAA you do the latter. Oh, and the change the name of what you’re doing as well. Like it matters.
The Pirate Bay was one of the biggest and most notorious torrent sites around. Loved by users, hated by content owners. The Pirate Bay was well known and highly regarded. But something so good was never going to last.
The Pirate Bay has sold out, to a Swedish company no one has ever heard of. The acquisition has been confirmed but the future of the site is still mired in confusion. Could this be a Napster moment for the file-sharing community, or could this actually be a good thing?
Porn is popular and profitable, especially on the Internet where the thirst for it is insatiable and where every need is catered for. But can a peer-to-peer BitTorrent company monetize porn to the extent it becomes a business in its own right – especially when free, pirated porn is readily available?
