Android Scans DVD Bar Codes, Downloads Movies

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the unifying-theory-of-gadgetry dept.

cars writes "Remember how you can scan any bar code with an android phone and it will tell you where to find that product for cheaper? A new Android application called BarTor (formerly ScanTorrent) can scan any DVD bar code and then signals either uTorrent or Vuze on your PC to download the movie from BitTorrent. How long do you think this will last?" Other features include purchase opportunities on barcode lookup, Google base product lookup, and site-level filtering.

    That fourth "definition" is made-up bogus fearmongering bullshit, straight from the **AA headquarters. Which was exactly my point.

    Appealing to authority (the dictionary) does not change anything.
