Hollywood studios are going into business with one of their biggest  
tormentors: the peer-to-peer pioneer BitTorrent.

There are so many ironies in this that I feel bad for Cohen and his  
team: BitTorrent, the commercial company born out of the P2P software  
by the same name, is launching its service tomorrow, called  
BitTorrent Entertainment Network (BET)...it will launch with 3,000  
new and classic movies and thousands more TV shows, as well as a  
thousand PC games and music videos each, reports NYT.
