BitTorrent Announces Exclusive TV Shows

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday February 11, 2015 @02:06PM from the torrent-theater dept.

An anonymous reader writes BitTorrent today announced an exclusive partnership with Rapid Eye Studios to launch BitTorrent Originals. In short, the two will identify, produce, and distribute original video content for the BitTorrent Bundle platform, the company's direct-to-fan publishing platform. BitTorrent Originals will be timed exclusives, meaning they will debut on the BitTorrent Bundle platform and only be available there for 30 to 60 days. After the BitTorrent exclusive window closes, each project will be available through other distribution channels.

If they become an established content providor it will force torrents to be treated like an intrenched pipeline like cable, satellite, or broadcast.
