InformationWeek magazine is reporting that Peerflix, after spending a year in Beta, has officially launched its peer-to-peer DVD trading service online. Their article focuses mainly on the potential copyright issues related to trading DVD's, which some fear will facilitate illegal copying.
InformationWeek also says that Peerflix "currently holds some 65,000 titles", but that's impossible. There aren't that many titles currently on DVD. According to this Reuters article, Peerflix has 65,000 DVD's, but only 25% of those are unique titles.
According to Reuters,"The Peerflix site clocked 10,000 trades in August and is set to nearly double that in September."
