Sell your movies you make online?

Hmm, one of the more interesting threads I've read in a while........what kind of movies? Porn, action, sc-fi, childrens?

Just an FYI... you do know that BT does not work with DRM correct? To pass a movie (you have made) with BT, it cannot be DRM. :icon_comp

To have an end user disable DRM is complex, and defeats the DRM.

A company I know has implemented DRM with bittorrent: http://www.neoedge.com/

That company created it's own p2p system. BitTorrent is an open source technology, I don't know their technology is based on BitTorrent or not! In short, it's easier to create media files with DRM on them than more time and money to create your own technology. Just create your own web site, with torrent links to those DRMed media files. Or, just pay to use their technology is cheaper!!!

Thanks, that company will not license their technology to adult media companies.

Is there any chance that bittorrent will eventually incorporate DRM in its file sharing?
Thanks,

I really think you should read up a bit more on DRM. DRM is intended, and so far is pretty good, at providing copyright protection. It was designed to prevent file distribution in the manner of which you intend.

You might want to think of some other way to protect your content.

Right now the best way to begin to copy DRM files is by copying them as they play... some quality is conpromised even by the best systems. There is software out now that say they can copy DRM files - but they can only do video and audio. Those programs only record what they see playing... kind of like a VCR. Programs and things that are dependent on the disc itself cannot be copied or shared at this time.

As for the future, all the rules seem to change eventually. *smiles*

Actually what you do is create a BT site that allows you to distribute samples and if they order it. You have admins who will use their bandwidth in uploading and the torrents are sent out to the ones who pay. If they share a torrent with someone else, it wont download since it has a private key in it to only be accessible to users that it match up with. So get 10-40 people and distribute.. And give them a piece of the pie.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I need to be able to mix BT and DRM in order to keep distribution cost extremely low I am looking to distribute 8 GB of info to as many as 50,000+ people per movie. Media should be cheaper so people will buy it and not pirate it. This can only be done through distrbution costs and DRM to ensure enough people buy to make the business venture viable.
