Pay P2P Makes Headway in New York

In a live demonstration that will take place later this evening, two companies with an eye on making file-sharing profitable will explain how their products makes this possible. The two companies, Clickshare and DigitalContainers are the two entities behind today’s demonstration titled “Making Money via P2P – Ten Companies in Two Hours.”

Clickshare and DigitalContainer are both members of the Distributing Computing Industry Association (DCIA). DCIA’s membership includes, but is not limited to the following members: Altnet, Sharman Networks, TrustyFiles, RazorPop and Grokster.

The goal of this meeting is several fold. P2P companies, such as the ones belonging to the DCIA, are considered “commercial” file-sharing vendors. Their goal like any other business is to make money. In addition, commercial file-sharing entities want to continue making money without reprisal from the music or movie industry.

In order to do that, one must ensure the music or movie industry is paid their expected royalty rate. Just like a commercial file-sharing venture, the music and movie industries are very interested distributing their content and making money.

That is where Clickshare comes into play. However, not just any digital file can roam around a particular network. It has to be industry sanctioned and secure from unauthorized replication (Digital Rights Management.) That is where DigitalContainer comes into play.
