BitTorrent Entertainment Network starts on coming Monday
According to sources close to Heise News the inventor of the famous BitTorrent protocol will open an internet shop with close to 5000 movies, tv-series and games. You can buy your favorite one and will be able to download it immediately using the BitTorrent protocol. As you can see in their Press Releases they have teamed up with film studios like 20th Century Fox, MTV Networks, Paramount and Warner Bros., so interesting content shouldn't be the problem.
[Update]
At the very moment the website BitTorrent is down. All you get is a small message window which reads: "BitTorrent will return in a few hours as an entirely new entertainment experience."

jokes aside, this could be a good thing just for bit torrent speeds, nothing better than dl a linux distro at 700kB/s on torrent, its a great technology and we are yet to see the best of it.
as ppl will pay for the normal ones then conveniently have them on there computer & upload them to other torrents supplying the file to millions.
personaly i can see a boost in illegal torrents very soon.
especially the ones that are being sold.
or just call me paranoid. either way!
In most countries of europe is not illegal to download movies if you dont make PROFIT selling them.
I know that several countries in Europe have the same rules, for example France.
But RIAA equivalent groups want the law to be changed, and they push people to think p2p is illegal by advertisements in the cinema, you know the ones that say that you will go hell and prison... they forget to mention in those ads that you can only go prison or pay if you earn money with the transaction.
