VODO

Online media distributor offering films, books, games and music


VODO was an online media distributor offering films, books, games and music under pay-what-you-want pricing models. Founded by film director Jamie King,[1] VODO has recently focused on bundle offers, bringing together a variety of creators under the themes of H.P. Lovecraft, Big Brother (surveillance and privacy), NSFW (sex positive culture), Otherworlds (sci-fi) and Really Creepy (indie horror).

VODO's background is in distribution of film under Creative Commons licenses, using the BitTorrent protocol.[2] Filmmakers can upload films on the site and selected works are also promoted on third-party sites and services such as the Butter Project, μTorrent and The Pirate Bay.

Past releases include sci-fi series Pioneer One,[3] The Yes Men Fix the World[4] and Zenith. Users are encouraged to donate after watching the films, and the highest earning to date has received almost $100,000.[5]
