Vuze, a digital media distribution company, has filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission to keep broadband internet providers from stopping or slowing their peer-to-peer file transactions.
Vuze CEO Gilles BianRosa says that the policy of some Internet Service Providers to block or slow their bit torrent transfers assumes every transfer is not authorized.
"The ISPs cannot decide unilaterally what to do with third-party Internet services such as us," BianRosa said. "We need to work with them to design a solution that works and is fair."
Bit torrent is a common means of file exchange for digital media. Vuze's central draw is its video-content.
In the petition, Vuze called for the FCC to "provide consumers, network operators and Internet businesses greater clarity regarding what to expect with respect to broadband-network-management practices."
