The Creative Commons amicus brief submitted by Lawrence Lessig in support of Grokster in MGM v. Grokster mentions both Prodigem and Torrentocracy:

These innovations in the use of p2p technologies to date point to obvious, and important uses of p2p technologies tomorrow. There is a wide range of speakers who could use p2p technologies to spread video content who could not afford such distribution without it...Political campaigns could enable the cheap distribution of campaign ads. Already, companies are beginning to offer p2p hosting to service precisely this type of demand. See, e.g., Prodigem, at link # 13.

P2P technologies have also inspired creators to offer their creative work in new, and different ways. Filmmaker Robert Greenwald, for example, has made the source interviews for his latest documentary available for free download using Bit-Torrent technology. See Torrentocracy Blog, at link # 10.
