“Many independently produced films never make it onto the big screen simply because the costs involved are too high. At the moment most digital movies are distributed “over land” on hard disks costing up to $2000 for each copy. BitTorrent has the power to change this outdated distribution method and get smaller budget films onto the big screen.”

Investigadores de The Far North Living Lab lograron transmitir online un filme a alta resolución 2K a 19mbit/s -con BitTorrent, por supuesto.
