Peer Impact Announces Their Largest Download Yet - Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie's 2.9 GB DVD, 'Dee Vee Dee'

- Peer Impact members can now download "Dee Vee Dee", over an hour and a half of the Sketches, Songs, Animations, Live Footage, and Pretentious Director's Commentaries from the Internet's Biggest Comedy Troupe -

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. and EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the company's recent announcement of an agreement that will make Universal movies and NBC Universal TV events content available to Peer Impact members in early 2006, Wurld Media, along with legendary Canadian band & indie comedy troupe, Three Dead Trolls, announced today that it will make the Trolls' independently created and produced DVD, imaginatively titled "Dee Vee Dee", available on Peer Impact's digital media service.

The DVD will be offered as a single 2.9 GB unencrypted, unprotected, DRM- free ISO disk image, making it the largest download available to-date on the Peer Impact service. The DVD sells for only $6.99, but for a limited time, will be offered for free to new Peer Impact members when they visit http://www.deadtroll.com/ and utilize the exclusive promo code provided.

Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie have been one of Canada's most famous comedy troupes since 1988, but they only hit the international scene with the hit online viral comedy short film, "Welcome to the Internet Helpdesk", and a little song called "The War of 1812." The Trolls website, DeadTroll.com, enjoys millions of hits a month, and their songs, animations, and videos are shared by bored workers across the world.

Last month, Peer Impact released the first multimedia version of their legitimate peer-to-peer network which offers members over 1.5 million audio tracks (including over 500,000 mp3s), over 1000 video games, and more than 10,000 Internet radio stations with movies and television to follow.

"Peer Impact gives Three Dead Trolls unlimited reach and resources to distribute their content over the Internet," said Kirk Feathers, President and Chief Technical Officer for Wurld Media, creators of Peer Impact. "This distribution relationship will allow them to avoid the costs of traditional DVD creation, product inventory, and massive bandwidth bills by enabling the hosting of their own e-commerce storefront. All they have to do is provide us with one copy of their content and Peer Impact will take care of the rest. Peer Impact has opened up a new revenue channel that never existed before for artists like the Three Dead Trolls."

"Peer Impact is a great way for us to sell our DVDs without the costs of packaging, shipping, and reproduction," says Wes Borg, the CAO (Chief Artistic Officer), head writer, producer, and resident Nerd of Three Dead Trolls and DeadTroll.Com. "People can download our DVD as a disk image, then burn it themselves and watch it on their TV or computer. That means we can keep the price low but the profit margin stays the same. We realize that lots of artists are using P2P to increase their exposure but we're in this thing for the money, and we honestly believe that Peer Impact will make us lots and lots of sweet, sweet coin."

The Three Dead Trolls "Dee Vee Dee", is now available on the Peer Impact service and can be obtained for free for a limited time by visiting http://www.deadtroll.com/. The company plans to offer more Dead Troll content, including their 5 albums, in the coming months.
