Founded in 2004, Peerflix, Inc. was a venture-backed startup that created an online platform for a peer-to-peer DVD trading community. The service enabled users to list DVDs they owned and wanted to trade, and in return, they could request DVDs from other users for a small fee per transaction (typically around $0.99 plus postage). Often described as a "stock market for used movies," the platform's mission was to give movie owners more value from their physical media collections. The company ceased operations in late 2008, facing challenges from the rising popularity of digital streaming services like Netflix and the overall decline in physical media.
