BBC to make available programming through Azureus Zudeo

British media company BBC has said that they would make some of their programming available through a file-sharing network.

This would be the first time that BBC would be going ahead with such plans. This news was followed by an agreement signed between BBC Worldwide, and technology firm Azureus.

This deal would enable users of Azureus’ Zudeo software to download programming from BBC like the series including Little Britain.

Beth Clearfield, vice president of programme management and digital media at BBC Worldwide spoke on this development: “We are very excited to partner with Azureus and make our content available through this revolutionary distribution model.”

Gilles BianRosa, CEO of Azureus added: “This will be a very different experience from traditional file-sharing networks. If you have Zudeo running it will take you to that programme; and if you don’t, it will suggest you install it, like the first time you download a flash movie. Once you have watched a show, you can rate it, comment on it and recommend it to a friend.”
