Influence of p2p, torrents and "me"tubes in the industry?
 

Warning: This thread ain't about bashing those take advantage of these "dubious" methods.

Do any of you guys think in how can such methods be used in order FOR LEGAL promotion?

not just talking about dumping your content in existing "illegal" platforms), but actually how to develop the underling idea into "something new"?

(wrong thread for GFY I know..I know...)

Sig spot

As being the owner of one of those "me"tube type sites ( http://www.VideoSlacker.com ), I can tell you an easy way to exploit us! Upload your clips and advertise with us. We typically have a helluva lot of bandwidth to display clips. Advertise with us and there wouldn't be a reason to upload your full files since we'd be losing money, too, right? We'd also be more inclined to take those clips off that are full vidz b/c there again, that would be taking money out of our pockets.

Ive said this for awhile. goto http://www.vuze.com which used to be zudeo.com Download some of the hd clips via their torrent downloads. Its distributed via their own servers and clients bandwidth both. Someone could do well drming HD trailers from sponsors, and having the license add on their affiliate links or whatever. Torrents offer a lot more than piracy. :2 cents:

Nice post.

No one will ever be able to protect their content. In the venerable words of someone, "security is a myth".

Sun Tzu's Art of War should be a bible for people selling content on the internet.
