The new course BitTorrent ($ 25M and Bram Cohen at home)
November 29, 2006 3:39 pm It 'almost official BitTorrent (the company founded by the inventor of the famous protocol) received around $ 25M for its second round of financing. But at the same time, the CEO Bram Cohen (who has just invented the protocol) leave (of himself or of those who gave us 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 chance, the same day, he learns that the same company signed agreements with several major Hollywood majors (Warner Bros., Paramount) (source CNET) to sell movies and TV shows over the Internet for a price that should start $ 1 (to go of course).
But not only that ... it seems that BitTorrent technology will soon be integrated on various devices such as DVDR, STBs for cable, wireless router and another to allow users to download content via BitTorrent and watch them directly on TV (in practice I do the same thing using a media center 
).
And now we await the next move of the dear old Steave
