BitTorrent Gets $8.7 Million in VC Funding
Brandon writes "BitTorrent just got a massive infusion of cash from venture capital firm DCM Doll. It looks like BitTorrent is hoping to cozy up with the content creators. From the article, 'Neither BitTorrent nor DCM have publicly stated
how a legitimate service would work, but industry insiders have been busy speculating on how the distributed peer-to-peer service could help movie studios and filmmakers make
for-pay content available.' Will this awaken Microsoft's Avalanche?"
Erm is there an Echo in here ! I am sure I read about this the other day.
So that's 17.4 millions now?
Wow, it doubles every day.

Please, for the good of Humanity, vote Obama.
can we go for 3 dupes in a row?
If we did, that'd be 26.1 million in funding. w00t!
How much funding would Slashdot require to stop posting so many #$%$@^ dupes ??
How will filesharing *ever* have credibility now that the VietCong supports it?

But they're still trying to save even more money by reusing articles which allows for higher compression rates.
