BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer networking service that uses "advanced, innovative technologies to efficiently move large files across the Internet," is releasing a television that will allow users to find, download, and play media found on the BitTorrent network.
The computer software has been around for years, but is a little complicated for the average user. After installing the software, the user must find and download a torrent for the file they want, open the torrent, and then download the file. This new system will simplify the process.
BitTorrent, I'm sure as an intended consequence, makes it easy to download items such as copyrighted movies and child pornography. Of course it has other legitimate uses, though I the only ones I can think of are entirely hypothetical. At least now, someone will be able to download illegal Disney movies and watch it from the comfort of their recliner.
