Vodo: a filesharing service for film-makers (original) (raw)

Hoag sez, "VODO, a new project from one of the figures behind STEAL THIS FILM, is a an attempt to harness the power of filesharing networks for the benefit of filmmakers and other creators. Its unprecedented coalition of filesharing sites and services, including Mininova, Isohunt, The Pirate Bay, Legal Torrents and many others, has offered to promote new works by creators who want to share their works. VODO then encourages downloaders to donate directly to the filmmakers.

VODO's just distributed its first film, US NOW by Ivo Gormely, which is now highly seeded on Mininova and available on many major filesharing sites under a CC-by-SA license."
