ABSTRACT

A second model for video distribution is to make copies and hand them out to your friends and family. They may reciprocate with videos of their own. Or one friend may loan your video to another. This is “Peer to Peer” sharing. Everybody in the distribution chain is equal with every other person, there’s no corporate headquarters, no brick and mortar store and no limited hours of operation. There are many advantages to this model beyond not needing a store or employees, nobody decides what videos you can share and what ones you can’t.
