BitTorrent Deal

Wired is reporting that BitTorrent Inc is launching a new site selling downloads of films and TV shows licensed from studios such as Warner Bros, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Lionsgate, with episodes of TV shows such as 24 and Punk'd.

BitTorrent Inc is hoping that at least a third of the 135 million previous downloaders who have used BitTorrent software will be willing to pay for high-quality files, rather than taking their chances with the pirated files.

TV episodes will be $1.99 to own, which is comparable with iTunes.
