Of course it can. It's out there. We know that. We're not talking COMPLETE control. That's not possible unless you lock down your content in a safe vault. But if you're the best provider people will come to your place to get it. Giving you better control. We're getting traffic FROM the pirate bay on the content that we have released as torrents. Because more people are seeding from our tracker. In general, people don't bother to redistribute as long as we provide unencrypted high quality files.

Norwegian Broadcasting sets up its own tracker->

eirikso writes "The tracker is based on the same OpenTracker software that the Pirate Bay has been using for the last couple of years. By using BitTorrent we can reach our audience with full quality, unencrypted media files. Experience from our early tests show that if we're the best provider of our own content we also gain control of it."

The story appeared in the media just recently. At the time when the NRK had to start informing their users of the situation. The update was probably done to the original article at the same time it was posted here on Slashdot. And, even if NextGenTel have reversed their strategy, this example is important. They got away with it for three months before they turned.
