Legal P2P Video Downloads

Peer Impact is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) service that offers legal downloads of TV shows, movies, music, and games (read more in my previous post here). A service of Wurld Media, Peer Impact has just signed deals with Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros., which adds to their catalog that already included NBC Universal content. I applaud the studios and labels for getting on board with P2P and legitimizing the usefulness of this technology. By offering an easy-to-use, legal alternative to bitTorrent, the download tool of geeks, average users now have another legal resource that lets them join in the fun of downloading videos, songs, and games to their computer and mobile devices. If you want to try Peer Impact, you can download the Peer Impact client here. The only complaint I have is that there is no way to browse their catalog from the website - you have to download the client first. Hmph.
