Peekvid returns with a caveat

I see Peekvid is back online in a new Beta version, with a Very Special Message on the home page...

"Peekvid does not contain any content on its site, but is merely an index of available links on the Internet. Peekvid is committed to an industry solution that will provide a mechanism to compensate artists that create the work you enjoy watching. Peekvid would like to be part of the long term solution."

Sounds like they're hoping not only to avoid lawsuits from the show business industries, but also to make money off of any "long term solution." We'll stay tuned to see if they can make a buck off of the illegal copyright infringements by others. More than a few of my recent blog visitors have come looking for Peekvid info, especially since the site went down temporarily. Well, it's back up. Enjoy it while it lasts!
