| | |  'Goblet of Fire' to be available on BitTorrent legally
In order to help combat piracy, Warner Brothers are set to make television shows and films available legally for download on BitTorrent. This will include the fourth Potter movie, ' Goblet of Fire', which will be one of the first films to be made available in this manner. The New York Times reports that the cost should be around the same as a DVD rental. Quote:
"We've been struggling with peer-to-peer technology and trying to figure out a way to harness the good in all that the technology allows us to do," said Kevin Tsujihara, the president of Warner Brothers Home Entertainment Group.
"If we can convert 5, 10 or 15 percent of the illegal downloaders into consumers of our product, that is significant."

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
