BitTorrent Gets $8.7 Million in VC Funding 151
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?"

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