NBC To Offer On-Demand Movies Via P2P 173
RX8 writes "NBC Universal has signed a deal with Wurld Media to make some of their movies available for download via a secure P2P network in 2006. There hasn't been a price released yet, but the movies include what you would get on their existing video-on-demand and pay services plus around 100 older movie titles. Once the material is downloaded, users can only view it for up to 24 hours before it expires."

But now I worry that by posting this I might give them ideas.

It's right there in TFA for all to read. Oh wait, this is slashdot.
Seems to me, though, that this is the only part they got right about this inherently flawed business model.
