BitTorrent to sell Warner movie downloads

Darksaber · May 9, 2006, 04:26 PM

Warner Bros will be delivering its movies using the BitTorrent protocols. BitTorrent made a deal with the MPAA to remove links to pirated movies from its search engine last year. That is when it also started looking into selling content over BitTorrent. No mention has made about the price of each download. Co-founder Ashwin Navin mentioned that the company is in talks with other companies to do the same as Warner Bros.

Honestly downloading movies for purchase, is the dumbest idea I've heard yet.

well, think bout it...what extra costs does bittorrent have? none...because warner will most likely manage the payment of the movies, and bittorrent gehts their piece of the pie...

so why not

cheers

Haha... before you know it you will be faced with two choices when downloading a movie "legal" or "illigial". I guess you have to pick which one.
