The new course of BitTorrent (Bram Cohen and $ 25M at home)
November 29, 2006 3:39 pm It 'almost official BitTorrent (the company founded by the inventor of the famous Protocol) has received approximately $ 25M for its second round of funding. But at the same time, the CEO Bram Cohen (who has just invented the protocol) will leave (for his willingness, or who has put the money is not given to understand) the company.
The news is not official yet, but a post on Techcrunch talks about not only leaks but also a confidential document that has not been reserved for long.
Almost by accident, the same day, he learns that the same company has signed agreements with several major Hollywood majors (Warner Bros., Paramount) (source CNET) to sell movies and TV shows on the Internet for a price that should start 1 $ (a climb of course).
Not only that ... it seems that BitTorrent technology will soon be integrated on various devices such as DVDR, STB for cable, wireless router and another to allow users to download content via BitTorrent and watch them directly on TV (in practice the I do the same thing using a media center 
).
And now we await the next move of the dear old Steave
