Peer Impact Announces Major Studio Motion Pictures and Television Shows Now Available

Wurld Media, Inc. the creator of the legitimate peer-to-peer (p2p) service, Peer Impact, announced today that select movies and television titles from Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros. Entertainment are now available via digital download on their revolutionary entertainment network in the US market. This announcement follows Peer Impact’s previously announced agreement, with NBC Universal to include their catalog of movie and television event titles for on-demand rental, also now available on the service, making Peer Impact the first p2p model to offer content from three major motion picture studios.

Another “first” in Peer Impact’s video offering, launched today, is the availability of television episodes for rental from both the Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros. libraries. This unprecedented model allows consumers to download television shows such as The Loop, Firefly, The Dukes Of Hazzard and Babylon Five for a full 24-hour viewing period with prices as low as 99 cents per episode. Movie rentals are also available and include current and library titles for $2.99 to $3.99 through the service’s new version of software platform, known as Peer Impact 3.0, which adds a video component to the already diverse content offering previously available.

As major content providers continue to address the growing demand for online distribution methods, Peer Impact presents a unique and innovative solution by enabling users to legally download and share licensed content while protecting both the license holders and the consumer. The addition of major movie and television titles is a true complement to Peer Impact’s deep and diverse catalog of music and video games.

“This is another step in our overall strategy to bring the world’s premiere content to our audience on emerging digital platforms,” said Peter Levinsohn, President, Fox Digital Media. “Through this deal, we can enjoy the benefits of peer-to-peer technology, while offering yet another legitimate alternative to illegal pirate networks.”
