BitTorrent Gets $8.7 Million in VC Funding

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shot-in-the-arm dept.

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?"
