Will video social network become the Bittorrent platforms?

Started by Nunobaba 1 year ago Add a comment

On one hand, there are YouTube.com, Veoh.com, DailyMotion.com, and more recenlty Stage6.divx.com which are several of the many video social networks. On the other hand, I stumbled on this blog, Venividi.blogsome.com. It contains plenty of movies, many of them are just released in the USA only. (Check it) A little Google request shows it's not the first one to do that. Imagine this, people agree to upload 20 minutes of a compelling movie on one or several video networks, and then keep a playlist of the different movie parts. It's not against the rules as far as I know. But it will surely entice people to watch full-length movie without even the need to download them with some p2p softwares. So this question: Do you think social video networks gonna be the new way to share movies, TV shows, sports games, etc.?
