Vuze Lands $20 mil
The high-def and DVD-quality p2p video distribution platform Vuze has landed $20 million in funding, according to an article in MultiChannel News.
For those who are unfamiliar with Vuze, it is built on top of the Azureus bittorrent client, one of the most popular, and open-source, file-sharing utilities. Just like Napster and BitTorrent.com, Vuze is a legal re-incarnation of what was formerly a platform for piracy. Some of their 100+ content partners include Showtime, Starz, A&E, BBC, PBS, and The History Channel.
