Los Angeles
- BitTorrent, the company founded by BitTorrent protocol inventor Bram Cohen to distribute legal entertainment content,
has laid off 12 of 55 employees, or about 20% of its staff, ValleyWag reports.

the failure of the company to sell its Torrent Entertainment Network online store
to Best Buy for a rumored $15 million as the immediate cause of the layoffs.
