Warner Bros. to use BitTorrent to sell movies and TV online
Just like iTunes did for file sharing music, Warner Bros. is going to start selling movies and TV online. While this is clearly an effort to legitimize the whole download yer entertainment thing, what's interesting is the use of BitTorrent as the tech behind the downloads. I don't think it's unusual though, as BitTorrent's technological solution to moving packets around is quite clever. It's a perfect tech for moving large files at high speeds, as would be needed. Besides, the prevailing theory has been if you offer a way for people to use BitTorrent (or any download system) legally, they'd use it. I'll admit I just don't bother looking for stuff on torrent sites just for the extra hassle it entails. Now what was that about the next version of OS X using BitTorrent? Hm...[Via TechMeme]

About time they listened to me. In any case, we the consumers better get something for giving up our bandwidth. This could also lead to less ISP control of the lines, which is good. Right now this will not work on limited lines, which rear their ugly heads mostly in Europe. Shitty technique (port blocking) won't work either.
Interesting!
