With over 70 million users worldwide, BitTorrent has become a controversial leader in peer-to-peer digital distribution of content, a lot of which clearly is pirated. Based in San Francisco, CA, the five year old company is currently on a mission to help content owners to remove copyright infringing content from its search results. What is more, BitTorrent has started to work with studios to provide a secure, legal venue for consumers. With integrated monetization for paid and ad-supported content, a forthcoming legal BitTorrent video service supported by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is an interesting platform for the online distribution of popular video content.
