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.

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

In addition, it could also allow them to share the files they have received over the network, effectively outsourcing the storage of the files and their download to the users of the network.”
