StinyDanish's Journal: BitTorrent goes Legit!

I'm surprised /. didn't have this on the frontpage sooner, but I am pleased to announce that BitTorrent is going legit! The Canadian Broadcasting Company (Canada's public TV station) used the popular p2p program to distribute the finale of a popular Canadian program, Canada's Next Great Prime Minister.
And I had to get this from the BBC:

BitTorrent and other peer-to-peer technologies are finding increasing favour with legitimate businesses attracted to its ability to distribute content in an efficient, cost-effective fashion.
Guinevere Orvis, one of the interactive producers on the CBC show, acknowledged last week that "DRM is dead, even if a lot of broadcasters don't realise it."
While the CBC may succeed in paving a new path for content distribution for broadcasters, it is also placing the spotlight yet again on the contentious issue of network management practices.
A growing number of internet service providers actively limit the amount of bandwidth allocated for file swapping on BitTorrent.

One small step towards legal free content
