Morpheus Caters To Content Creators

Los Angeles-bsed StreamCast Networks is rolling out a new feature of its peer-to-peer file swapping network that the company says is geared towards content creators and copyright holders. The company said today that its Peer Response distribution platform will compensate content creators and copyright holders whenever a copy of their content is downloaded. StreamCast claimed that it expects to add one million video, music, game, and software titles in the next few months. Morpheus has partnered with eWallet for payment transaction capability, and will allow self-publishers to distribute their content. Morpheus said that its new Peer Response feature is geared toward small and independent musicians, software developers, video producers, and podcasters.
