What is the difference between PeerDeal and a stock video or stock photography house?
We focus on managing the information about your media asset rather than content storage, preview and delivery. This saves our community of users money and maximizes the real value of media content. For example, stock photo houses (including stock video and microstock agencies) run expensive content management systems to store and display the media or stream the video. Some even handle licensing agreements manually with a team of lawyers in the background. Although this might be suitable for some content creators, both Licensees and Licensors ultimately pay for these substantial overhead costs. PeerDeal leverages the Cloud storage that everyone has from online services for free or through subscription. Otherwise, this is a redundant cost for all parties.
