These services are not needed yet. But is good that are under study, in case changes in laws or balance of power make it needed. For now, I think people will continue using HTTP download/stream movies and tv series. Perhaps countries where the 3 strikes legislation is aprobed will make one of these systems necesary. But I think speed is a important factor, and no slow system will suceed. -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje.
