Vuze = Azureus, yes. And Azureus was (is) an open source bittorrent client. But the Vuze Network, while P2P, is fully legal. It features sponsored or user-created or independent video content that is delivered via torrent. The client can also be used to search and access other torrents. But none of that is "illegal," and neither is this new functionality. Vuze is lauding that you can now directly port Vuze HD Network content (i.e., the legal stuff) direct to your media viewer of choice -- i.e., Vuze Network content can be downloaded in a variety of formats. Their is nothing "not totally legal" about that. It is not suggesting that ALL torrent content can be converted for media viewer playback.
That said, this isn't all that big a deal, because there is not much but movie trailers and music videos on the Vuze Network. So meh.
