film2home Rolls Out New Service

STOCKHOLM, June 18: film2home.com, an electronic-sell-through and VOD
movie portal based in the Nordic region, has launched a new peer-to-peer
file-sharing service, film2home P2P, which is based on bittorrent technology.

With the rollout of this new service, film2home aims to make it easier
for people to download movies legally via file-sharing software. Users who
share the purchased file with other film2home customers will receive money,
depending on how large the file is and how many other people are distributing
the same file. The more movies that one shares, the more money one receives in
his or her account. The money can be used to purchase and download more movies,
or can be taken out in cash.

film2home P2P was developed in cooperation with the movie service
Ameibo.

Cecilia Versteegh, the founder of film2home, said: “We have for a long time tried to develop legal
solutions using file-sharing technology in a way that is accepted by film
studios. As a first step we offer approximately 1,000 movies, but we hope to
increase the catalogue with more movies from major studios as soon as possible.
We try in every way to create the largest service for downloading and streaming
in the Nordic region, and we are convinced that consumers want to pay for
themselves if movies are available in an easy way.”
