BitTorrent Now Legal

BitTorrent announced today the launch of the BitTorrent Entertainment Network, featuring an extensive library of downloadable digital entertainment content from 20th Century Fox, Lions Gate, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. And MGM. Users will be able to rent movies, buy TV shows, music videos and publish their own content.

“The BitTorrent Entertainment Network is created by and for the BitTorrent Generation, which has a vast appetite for high-quality, on-demand entertainment,” said Ashwin Navin, President and Co-founder of BitTorrent. “BitTorrent.com engages our community to contribute in profound ways – whether it’s by evangelizing their favorite titles; by submitting content they’ve created; or by contributing their bandwidth to enable faster downloads and an improved entertainment experience.”

Although Stacia wrote,” think it will fail too. The prices are too high (higher than iTunes or a slower download), bitTorrent isn’t user-friendly and nobody will bother seeding. I give it half a year.And IMO, BitTorrent in general is a great idea, but it’s practical uses have to be limited to small groups, not the entire Internet.”
