BitTorrent makes agreements with media companies and waits for investors.

BitTorrent, the “descendant” of the most famous 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 as “in ownership” (Download-to-Own), and “in rent” (Video-on-Demand).

Such an agreement is not the first: BitTorrent has already agreed on a partnership with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Hart Sharp, and others. Cooperation also continues with the Motion Picture Association of America, which represents the interests of the American film industry.

Thus, the company continues to work to eliminate violations of copyright laws. This is done, most likely, in anticipation of the next round of investment: according to rumors, BitTorrent expects to receive from $ 15 to $ 25 million over the coming months. Last time, namely, in September of 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.
