Hollywood Looks to BitTorrent for Distribution

Posted by timothy on from the who-is-this-cerf-guy-anyhow dept.

daria42 writes "Vinton Cerf, who wrote the original TCP/IP protocol and is currently chairman of ICANN, said this week he had recently discussed BitTorrent with at least two interested movie producers. 'I know personally for a fact that various members of the movie industry are really getting interested in how to use the Internet--even BitTorrent--as a distributed method for distributing content,' Cerf said. 'I've spoken with several movie producers in the last month.'"

  1. Redundant? FUNNY! by 10537 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Who on earth modded this "redundant"? I'm guessing it was either someone not old enough to remember the whole "Al Gore invented the internet" thing, or someone who didn't read the post properly and missed the last line. Either way, they're fucktards; can someone mod it funny, please?
