BitTorrent Offers Legitimate Downloads

BitTorrent Inc., makers of a technology often used to trade pirated copies of Hollywood movies, is launching a Web site that will sell downloads of films and TV shows licensed from the studios. The BitTorrent Entertainment Network was set to launch Monday with films from Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Lionsgate and episodes of TV shows such as “24” and “Punk’d.”

This service is squarely targeted at the male between 15 – 35 who don’t get out of the house often enough, have girlfriends, or even friends for that matter. Large quantities of anime, TV shows and some movies will be offered at the get-go for relatively good prices. Hollywood blockbusters are on hold of course, since negotiations for lower prices is not happening right now.
