BBC Worldwide has signed a deal with Azureus to distribute hundreds of episodes of BBC programmes.

Red Dwarf is one of the episodes that will be distributed via Azureus

The episodes will be distributed using Zudeo which has been launched to distribute high quality videos (DVD-Quality, HD-Quality).

This will make downloading of BBC Episodes over this client legal. The videos will be will be protected by digital rights management software to prevent the programmes being traded illegally on the internet.

Pricing structure for the content has still not been disclosed.

    Good news. If you will miss any interesting episode you can download it and view it. But what about the price structure.

    Hi Phalgun,

    As of now details of the price structure are not out. I do believe these should be reasonably priced for it to actually work well.
