BBC Film Network uses P2P
The BBC Film Network is using Konitiki to distribute its films via P2P. The Film Network screens three new short videos each week.
The films are in protected Windows DRM format. Members automatically receive new films and can view them for 28 days. After that period the files are automatically deleted.
More from the Film Network web site:
"Film Network is the BBC's interactive showcase for new British filmmakers, screening three new short films in broadband quality every week, adding to a growing Catalogue of great shorts. The site allows people to comment on and rate films and also provides filmmakers with tools to create online profiles and exchange tips, advice and ideas. The purpose is to expose new talent and create a platform for some great films that are rarely seen elsewhere.
Where do the films come from?
Around a third of the films featured on Film Network are submitted directly to the site and selected by the in-house team. If you are a filmmaker you can submit your short by filling out a simple online form. The remaining films are selected in partnership with other organisations and experts who we invite to curate programmes of shorts. These include distributors, festivals and competitions."
