Warner Bros. to sell films via BitTorrent


Recommended Posts

Burbank, CA (May 9, 2006) - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group today announced a groundbreaking agreement with BitTorrent Inc. to leverage the company. With this announcement, Warner Bros. becomes the first major studio to provide legal video content via the BitTorrent publishing platform.

Read the article here, but I'll give you the whole story in a few words.

You will have the abilty to download the movie by paying the same price as the DVD but you won't get the cool package of the DVD. They save money on shipping and packaging, you save nothing.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, believe it and start warming up your credit cards.
