Azureus Inc. Moves Toward Commercialization

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the buy-this dept.

SamBob writes "Future releases of the most popular BitTorrent client, Azureus, will come bundled with a 'platform' for media companies to promote their product to Azureus' multi-million users, reports Slyck.com. Azureus Inc., who are the newly formed company behind the Azureus software, plan to generate a profit from the platform in the future, but in the short-term are hoping to help independent film companies find their audience."

    Their choice to bundle adware will decrease their market share. Their BitTorrent client is slow and enourmously resource hungry. They don't belong in the most used BitTorrent clients list.

    I'm not assuming anything. I'm making inferences based on experience. Apart from one file I've never heard of anyone I know ever downloading anything from bit torrent that wasn't illegal and people who deny that this is its primary (and secondary and tertiary) function are either deluded or liars.
