In this Telecom Report we look at the world of film and discuss the new distribution possibilities that the Internet has created. From old favourites like YouTube to new entrants like Voddler, Vimeo and One Swarm, we investigate if these channels represent a real opportunity for young and old film makers alike.

A recent study shows that illegal file sharing is on the decrease. At the same time, there is an increasing trend towards legal files sharing, but in a more private setting, away from Facebook and YouTube. One company benefiting from this trend is OneSwarm, a new peer-to-peer tool that provides users with explicit control over their privacy by letting them determine how data is shared.

Headweb is taking video-on-demand one step further. No DRM, legal peer-to-peer file sharing and an open platform are some of its unique selling points.
