If you produce movies, or own the internet rights to movies, you are considered a Studio. (Note: the terms content producer and studio are often used interchangeably. The terms content and movies are also used interchangeably).


  • White-Label Site. PPVNetworks can build a custom-branded website for the studio to promote. For example, if the studio has a website, darkalley.com, PPVNetworks can build a site, vod.darkalley.com. The studio in turn drives traffic from banners, menu items and "watch now" buttons next to movies from their store. Studios receive between 50 and 75% of revenues from their sites, depending on billing model and specific agreement terms. Sites can offer one of 4 possible billing models: membership, pay-per-view, pay-per-minute and plan-based minutes.
  • Add your Content to our Network of Sites. Studios can choose to generate revenues by licensing their movies for viewing on the PPVNetworks network of sites, including PPVNetworks-owned sites and Partner sites. Studios receive 25% revenue share when these movies are viewed.
