NBC To Offer On-Demand Movies Via P2P

Posted by Zonk on from the getting-closer dept.

RX8 writes "NBC Universal has signed a deal with Wurld Media to make some of their movies available for download via a secure P2P network in 2006. There hasn't been a price released yet, but the movies include what you would get on their existing video-on-demand and pay services plus around 100 older movie titles. Once the material is downloaded, users can only view it for up to 24 hours before it expires."

    NBC...I have a phone call for you.

    The year 2000 is calling, and wants its idea back.

    I was expecting to read "explodes" rather than "expires". I'm glad I was wrong.

    But now I worry that by posting this I might give them ideas.
