Warner Bros has as we have earlier reported plans for starting online movie stores where consumers can buy and download movies. Details about Warner Bros services have been few, but now it seems that it will base it on the popular BitTorrent platform for distributing its movies. Warner Bros will launch its services in the USA during the summer and will include over 200 new launches from Warner Bros. Everything from full-length movies to poopular TV shows. The choice of BitTorrent solves at least one problem as now the bandwidth will be shared by the consumers.
“Warner Bros. is in the business of making its movies and TV shows available to as wide an audience as possible. The launch of a legal BitTorrent online video service allows us to extend our reach to places our content would not ordinarily be found legally and opens up new opportunities. Entering into agreements such as this to distribute our content is not only a better way to reach existing and new customers but a reflection of the critical role distribution technologies play in the future of the entertainment industry,”
