Viacom signs with Joost
February 20th, 2007
Viacom has signed a deal with Joost that will see content from MTV, Comedy Central, and CBS distributed on the new P2P distribution service. The move comes just two weeks after YouTube pulled over 100,000 videos offline. ‘Joost’s promise to protect their copyrights was a major factor in Viacom’s decision, and also a stumbling block in their discussions with YouTube/Google. At the moment is it quite easy to download and store video content from YouTube, but no such exploit for Joost is known to exist.’ It’s also a ’secure’ distribution medium in the eyes of many in the entertainment industry, since users can’t upload content themselves.’
