BitTorrent enters into agreements with media companies and awaits investors

    BitTorrent, a descendant of the renowned p2p network, has entered into agreements with major media companies such as 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Starz Media and Comedy Central (Viacom), according to an official press release . As a result , movies and TV shows provided by these companies will be published on BitTorrent.com . Materials will be provided to users both “in the property” (Download-to-Own), and “for rent” (Video-on-Demand).

    Such an agreement is not the first: a bit earlier BitTorrent agreed on a partnership with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Hart Sharp, et al. Collaboration is also ongoing with the Motion Picture Association of America, representing the interests of the American film industry.

    Thus, the company continues to work to eliminate violations of copyright laws. This is most likely done in anticipation of the next round of investments: according to rumors, BitTorrent expects to receive from $ 15 to $ 25 million in the coming months. Last time, namely, in September this year, the company has already received $ 8.75 million from Doll Capital Management . New investments can be used to launch the long-awaited video store.
