Bertelsmann to offer P2P download platform

German media giant Bertelsmann, a former partner of file-sharing network Napster, is launching a new Internet platform for downloading and sharing movies or games over the Internet.

Arvato, Bertelsmann's services and technology arm, said it would sell the service, dubbed GNAB, to mobile phone operators, Internet providers and TV stations, which could then offer their clients legal downloads of large files under their own brands.

But easy-to-use services such as computer maker Apple's iTunes have let the music industry discover its sympathy for music downloads and led to a surge in legal online music sales.

Bertelsmann, which with Sony co-owns the world's second-largest music label, Sony BMG, teamed up with Napster in late 2000, when the service was already being sued by the industry for helping copyright infringements.
