[http://www.psfk.com/2007/10/radiohead-12-m-downloads-96m-cash.html Radiohead: 1.2 m downloads = $9.6m Cash] “According to analysis made by the Daily Swarm, Radiohead’s In Rainbow has sold at the equivalent price of$8 a CD worldwide. In just three days it has sold 1.2 million downloads and made up to $9.6m.”

"2005 is the year that internet downloads became a viable distribution mechanism, mainly through BitTorrent, a cunning peer-to-peer mechanism for making large films available without incurring large bandwith costs. People have already started downloading movies in earnest and the phenomenon is growing so rapidly that BitTorrent now accounts for one third of all traffic on the internet. Bigger hard drives and faster net connections are driving this trend."

The BitTorrent world contains both licenced and pirated content. Azureus, which can be used for downloading all sorts of content, is one of the most popular BitTorrent clients, supported by an Open Source community that has contributed to plenty of add-ons. BitTorrent has also become a commercial distribution system for pay-per-view content. We can see this as an advange for smaller video producers in that even if you are distributing your video content for free you can charge for a film.

"The easiest way to do so is to ask for an online payment on your website before directing users to where they can download the BitTorrent file" (Simon Tzu in DIY distribution, "Get your Documentary funded" from [WWW] http://www.shootingpeople.org).

example: the trap, download [http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=8372545413887273321&q=the+trap&total=10148&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=2 from google video] Curtis himself was in favour of internet "distribution" of The Power of Nightmares at the time when it was unavailable on DVD, he's had problems with getting proper releases out so he's happy for people to see them any way possible.
