VODO — An alternative to piracy?

If anyone could help us update the translation of this, we’d be grateful!

Amidst all the proposals to fight piracy, new approaches other than the repressive  route are appearing. The latest is VODO, a platform that acts as an intermediary between download enthusiasts and creators. The latter make their works avaialble on the site, which makes possible a direct return through discretionary donations.

Logically, the system shouldn’t win over the American majors who won’t find it cost-effective given the huge budgets of their films. Instead, VODO is focusing on independent productions and filmmakers.

The increasing number of downloads of Us Now seem to support the principle. The documentary looks at the phenomenon of emergent economies, following a football team run by its fans, a bank where management is shared between each employees and couch surfing, sharing ones apartment with travelers.

(Thanks for the help AT.)
