BitTorrent offers legal downloads

2007-03-29T12:13:00.010-07:00

BitTorrent is launching a legal download service to offer movies, music, TV shows and games to its subscribers.

The revamped site will have about 3,000 movies and TV shows available from companies such as Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, MGM, Paramount and MTV.

"The vast majority of our audience just loves digital content," BitTorrent president and co-founder Ashwin Navin told Associated Press.

"Now we have to program for that audience and create a better experience for that content so the audience converts to the service that makes the studios money."

Navin believes that the move will be a success because BitTorrent already has 135 million users, and the distributed model means that downloads are much faster than on other services.

A full-length movie download from BitTorrent should take about 30 minutes, and a TV episode around 10 minutes.

BitTorrent is also hoping that the pricing will be attractive enough to encourage its members to pay for legal downloads rather than take their chances with illegal copies.

"We are really hammering the studios to take it easy on this audience as we need to give them a price that feels like good value compared to what they were getting for free," explained Navin.

New movies are priced at $3.99 and older films at $2.99. High-definition TV episodes will cost $2.99 and standard definition $1.99. Paid for content is currently only available to US subscribers.

The BitTorrent Entertainment Network also intends to offer community services where users can upload their own videos and movies for others to watch for free.

BitTorrent's content is protected by Windows Media DRM and will only play using Windows Media Player. This may put off some users who wish to watch movies in other formats such as a portable media player.

Macrovision Signs Netflix and BitTorrent

2007-03-29T12:13:00.009-07:00

Macrovision put out a press release indicating that their copy protection is making its way into a variety of online download services.

Netflix, BitTorrent, Movielink and Instant Media will all employ Macrovision’s Analog Copy Protection (ACP) technology as part of their distribution of movies and videos on their websites. Macrovision’s ACP technology helps online video providers assure content providers, whether it be movie studios, television networks, or the home movie maker, that their content is protected and distributed to only those that have the rights to download or access it.

I’m not sure exactly what this technology is and what impact, if any, it’ll have on consumers. Perhaps former Macrovision employee and fellow blogger Starjewel (aka Kimberly) has some insight…?

BitTorrent: Fast, but DRM a Downer

2007-03-29T12:13:00.008-07:00

Playing with BitTorrent’s new content portal this week was interesting. The site looks great, it’s easy to navigate, and while the library of available content is certainly large, it’s not exhaustive. The downloading experience is first rate, even if there isn’t a large swarm of peers — their pipes can definitely seed torrents at high speed, as contributor Janko Roettgers found in his review for the P2P Blog. Users aren’t even locked into a particular client, as I used my favorite, Azureus, with no problems.

The price point on the content isn’t too egregious — short form content like television shows sell for the same $1.99 you can find them for at the iTunes store. Movie rentals are $3.99, and some movies can also be purchased for $9.99. The rentals are maybe a dollar more than I’m used to paying at the local video store, and the flat rate for movies seems a tad unrealistic for some of the older titles. As a cynic, I’d have to agree with Rafe Needleman that those oldies appear to be available for the sake of boosting the overall number of offerings.

So what are the downsides? There are a number of them, and they almost all have to do with the digital rights management.

First of all, because the store uses Windows Media DRM, you can’t play back content on a Macintosh — even with the Flip4Mac plugin for QuickTime. It also means that you can’t play it on any number of media players for Windows, such as my personal favorite, VLC. You are stuck with using Media Player.

Secondly, because the authentication has to make a call back to the server to verify your rights, you won’t be able to start playback of downloaded content if you’re online. For instance, you might download a movie while waiting at the airport for some entertainment during the flight. But if you don’t make sure to confirm your license before you get on the plane, you’ll have to wait until you land and can get back online.

Thirdly, the actual authentication process is, to put it bluntly, a pain in the ass. Maybe I’m just naive and inexperienced with buying content for Media Player, but the first movie I rented required a full 10 minutes of waiting for the player to contact the server, entering my BitTorrent account login information, and then clicking through menu after menu. Though once the movie did finally start, the quality is very good.

If I was a regular user of the service, at some point I imagine I would want to do something with my content that’s strictly verboten — like burning a purchased movie to a DVD to clear space on my hard drive, or loading the movie onto a video iPod to watch during an evening commute for instance. In that case, I would start looking for ways to strip the DRM — which, after about a little over an hour of searching Google, downloading an application and following some instructions from copyfighter forums, is easy enough to do. So easy that I felt obligated to contact BitTorrent and let them know about it.

Honestly, I feel for BitTorrent. They deserve to turn their expertise into a viable business. But as long as the studios and labels demand DRM, and Microsoft keeps promising them that it will work, BitTorrent will never be able to compete with unauthorized downloads. I will remain a staunch proponent of the BitTorrent protocol as an efficient means for distributing large amounts of data — but as Napster proved years earlier, no good media distribution technology goes unpunished by content providers.

BitTorrent Entertainment Network disappoints, frustrates

2007-03-29T12:13:00.007-07:00

It's no surprise that BitTorrent's new venture peddling movies, TV shows, and video game downloads has failed in the eyes of many a new user, including the fine folks at Ars Technica. Their initial review reported positive marks for customer experience while browsing and purchasing, however once payment was received, hurdles were quickly set in place. BitTorrent failed to recognize the user's PC, however a Mac with the same IP worked swimmingly -- the real pain being that the files weren't Mac-compatible, so they had to be transferred to the PC for viewing. Download speeds were found to be fast, "but not really any more so than you would expect with any other commercial service." The bulk of frustration was attributed to -- surprise, surprise -- DRM failure, where over 50% of the purchases were rendered useless... quite the cherry on top of a fruitless ordeal. Should BitTorrent choose to continue BTEN service with a gusto, they'd be wise to ensure a smooth ride from start to finish -- and they better act fast before media-less customers go back to using the old, scary, wild-west-style BitTorrent.

Heaven Awaits: BitTorrent versus Streaming Internet Telly

2007-03-29T12:13:00.006-07:00

Eva Wiseman over at The Guardian has ruined my life. Okay, fine, I exaggerate. She’s “ruined my life” in a "hurts so good" way. In the 24 February 2007 edition of the guide (“TV Quick!”) she shared websites that have links to free, streaming television shows and movies. I, being a selfish cow, would’ve kept this windfall to myself. Eva, however, is much more generous. Why, then, am I sharing now? Because if my productivity levels are going to drop from an Internet-based activity other than cruising around looking at gadget porn, all you Shiny Shiny readers are going down with me.

The scoop: rather than peer-2-peer downloading television shows or films over the course of several days and risking imprisonment with Bits on Wheels or Mininova, there are websites that aggregate links to streaming TV shows and films. Streaming means that you click n’ go. The main site Eva recommends is Alluc.org (“all you see” - took me a while to get that one). Search by category (i.e. TV show, film, cartoons, music videos, sports) and find links to older shows and more recent fare. I spent an entire Sunday watching episodes 1-16 of NBC’s fabulous new programme Heroes. On another night, I came across a Google Video Canada link to the far-fetched boy fantasy film The Last Kiss with Zac Braff and Rachel Bilson. Stop watching telly and get a life? I do have a life. It’s television.

Before Alluc redirects your browser to the site with the TV or film link, there’s a legality disclaimer, but that’s more to cover their tuckuses than users’. Surely, it’s illegal to post links to copyrighted material, but is it illegal to watch these streams? A lawyer I consulted (my flatmate in the kitchen) gave the clarification that they (meaning The Man) will find some way to make it illegal. Website owners try to skirt the legality issue by claiming that streaming TV is a good way to check out material before purchasing somewhere like iTunes or on DVD. And, trust, if these sites all vanished tomorrow, I would be all over an iTunes Heroes season pass like a rash.

Verdict: Streaming media websites make me feel like it’s those early, heady Wild West days of the Internet all over again. Posting and hosting these files can’t be legal and it can’t last, so I say, “giddy up!” These streaming websites are so much better than downloading with BitTorrent. There’s no software to fiddle with, no learning curve, you get instant transaction satisfaction, and you don’t use up your broadband download allowance. There are drawbacks: broken links; episodes or films posted in parts rather than as an entire file; and some sites confine their streams to their own interface and don’t allow for full screen.

If you’ve got willpower, go on and check out some streaming telly. If you’re susceptible to sloth like me, I dare you to watch just one episode of Heroes…or The Office (US version)…or The L Word…or…

BitTorrent Launches Legal Video Download Store

2007-03-29T12:13:00.005-07:00

The latest outlaw download service to go legit, BitTorrent banks on a combination of its P2P distribution and Windows Media DRM to make it a serious player in the premium online video distribution space

The internet is abuzz with chatter surrounding the launch of the BitTorrent Entertainment Network. Long viewed as a key enabler of internet piracy, BitTorrent has managed to land deals with almost all of the major studios other than Disney by combining the economics of its core P2P delivery technology with the DRM of Windows Media. "We've done now 34 deals with major studios and networks across the world that will be featured in the BitTorrent Entertainment Network," says Ashwin Navin, BitTorrent COO and cofounder.

In fact, according to this Digital Media Wire article by Michael Cai of Parks Associates, BitTorrent actually boasts stronger studio support than iTunes or Xbox Live Marketplace. Its launch lineup includes over 5,000 movies and TV shows as well as PC games and audio content.

Also touched upon in this article is the question of whether or not BitTorrent's users can be persuaded to give up their pirating ways in order to get their content legally. From the article: "Our consumer data shows that P2P users are much more likely to purchase movies than those who are not using a P2P network, leading us to believe that many P2P users are forced to steal."

But that's not necessarily the whole story, as pointed out in a CNET UK article:"BitTorrent's fate can arguably be predicted if we look at what happened to Kazaa-since going legal, its user base dropped from millions to hundreds in the blink of a gnat's eye."

That said, one can also argue that BitTorrent's user base of a reported 135 million provides such a massive market opportunity that the legal version doesn't need tremendous penetration to realize success. "With 135 million users we only need a small percentage of that market to make some significant inroads to this market," says Navin.

And in this New York Times article, BitTorrent claims that its own surveys have shown that 34% of their users would pay for content.

Also divulged in that article is the fact that while movies can currently only be rented through the service, BitTorrent has actually negotiated the rights to sell movies, but decided not to offer them due to the high prices studios were demanding they charge. In this NewsFactor.com article, Navin has said that BitTorrent is "really hammering the studios to say, 'Go easy on this audience'...We need to give them a price that feels like a good value relative to what they were getting for free." TV shows can be downloaded to own for $1.99 each.

That said, relative to competing outlets like iTunes, Amazon’s Unbox, and CinemaNow, the value that legal BitTorrent-delivered content delivers to its customers has been called into question by some. In this PC World blog posting, the author discusses his experiences downloading an episode of The Flintstones from both BitTorrent and iTunes: "But Apple's episode gave me more Fred and Barney for my money: I could watch the episode on up to five computers-Windows or Mac-or download it to my iPod. BitTorrent's version is viewable on two Windows PCs. Period."

The article also includes a firsthand account of the user experience associated with downloading content through BitTorrent, in which the service is assailed on the user interface front due to the fact that unlike iTunes, BitTorrent Entertainment Network makes its customers go to the website to find the content they want and then move to a separate application to begin downloading it rather than doing everything through a single application.

BitTorrent does have a number of factors working in its favor, though, including faster downloads and porn. That's right, porn. An Ars Technica article delves into BitTorrent's "Mature" section, which features a limited selection of softcore pornography. While this fact might seem irrelevant to a discussion of "legitimate" movie download services, it's worth noting that iTunes does not offer mature content, and the adult industry has long been credited as a driving force in consumer adoption of new technology.

While BitTorrent faces a number of challenges as it strives to become a leader in legal content distribution-including continuing to foster dialog with network operators who are increasingly shaping their networks to limit P2P traffic and justifying those actions by the prevalence of illegal content being distributed in this manner-its combination of P2P distribution economics, strong studio support, and a gigantic install base of content-hungry users makes certain that BitTorrent will be a major player in this space, at least for the short term. After that, only consumer adoption and continued studio support will determine the BitTorrent Entertainment Network's ultimate fate.

Also worth noting is BitTorrent's stated intention of allowing users to upload high bit-rate content they have created and then distribute it through the BitTorrent Entertainment Network. While this offering will in no way compare to YouTube's ability to embed video into web pages in terms of being able to provide instant, easy access to user-generated content, it will be interesting to see what happens when user-generated content goes full-screen, especially since BitTorrent will offer it essentially alongside pay-for premium content.

BitTorrent: Buy, Rent, or Steal?

2007-03-29T12:13:00.004-07:00

Big BitTorrent news in the offing: The peer-to-peer file distribution service's site is down at the moment, and when it returns, it'll apparently offer The BitTorrent Entertainment Network, which--in partnership with Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and MGM--will offer official, entirely legit movies and TV shows.

According to an Associated Press story, TV shows will sell for US$1.99 apiece--same as on iTunes--and movies will rent for US$3.99 (new stuff) and US$2.99 (old stuff). Everything's copy-protected using Microsoft DRM and will only play in Windows Media Player 11; movie rentals will expire 30 days after you buy them or 24 hours after you start watching. (I haven't seen any definitive word on whether you'll be able to transfer video to other devices, but if so, it'll presumably only be to ones that support Microsoft DRM--for which read "almost everything but the iPod.")

BitTorrent's P2P protocol has always done an impressive job of getting files from one place to another, in part because it really gets them from multiple places to another, intelligently patching together a seamless whole from disparate parts stored on PCs across its network. That approach will stay for this new commercial download service, which in theory may make for zippier downloads than with iTunes and other competitors. And these authorized movies and TV shows should be more dependably good-looking than the pirated content that people have been swapping via BitTorrent since it arrived on the scene in 2001.

Of course, the pirated content that people have acquired via Torrents has always been free and free of restrictions; these new authorized downloads won't be. This is, as far as I can think, the first time that a major file-transfer service used for illegitimate content swapping will also be used for downloads sanctioned by big copyright owners. (The original Napster announced plans to institute copy controls but died before it could institute them; Kazaa can find and download copy-protected content, but sure has never emerged as a major force in above-board content distribution.)

With BitTorrent about to become a conduit for both copy-protected-and-official content and some of the same items in unprotected-and-questionable form, it could be an interesting test of an old notion in the digital download wars: that folks who download pirated media for free would genially pay if the same content were easily available in higher-quality, affordable, legitimate form. BitTorrent is apparently saying that it thinks a third of BitTorrent users are willing to do so. I'm guessing that might be optimistic, but we'll see.

Also yet to be seen: whether the BitTorrent Entertainment Network will be slicker, less geeky, and more reliably reliable than BitTorrent in its traditional form. You'd kind of think it would need to be to be a compelling option for renting Superman Returns for $3.99. And you also have to wonder if a more corporate, commercial BitTorrent might be a turnoff for its current users.

The most interesting thing about the BitTorrent Entertainment Network may be...the fact that it isn't very interesting. Except for the pipe it happens to use, it sounds a lot like most of the other legit movie and TV download services out there, and it sounds more restrictive than some.

Me, I remain convinced that the the Internet is going to become the dominant means of distribution for video content far faster than most of us would have guessed just a few years ago. But it'll only happen if we see more services that make sense for consumers--by which I mean ones that give them plenty of flexibility in how, when, and where they do their consuming of entertainment. The BitTorrent Entertainment Network doesn't sound like a step forward in any of these areas.

More to come once I've had a chance to shell out some dough and download a movie or two...

Will a commercial BitTorrent lead to more piracy?

2007-03-29T12:13:00.003-07:00

It very well might, even though the newly commercial site has done all that film studios, music companies and games publishers wanted by wrapping their wares in digital rights management (DRM) to protect them while offering them for download.

Bittorrent is best known for illicit use: it's the download protocol of choice for more than 80m savvy net users to get legal files (such as Linux distributions) and, far more frequently, copyrighted ones (such as feature films).

This week it morphed into a commercial service - BitTorrent (bittorrent.com) - offering new films such as Superman Returns and favourites such as Chinatown, as well as music, TV and games for to download. (Only US users can buy from it at present.)

The problem for the content companies is, some of the music and other content on BitTorrent is free - helping to acquaint people who'd not otherwise understand how to use the protocol with the process of getting torrent files legally. ISPs will also now be unable to rely on Bittorrent content being illicit - which some use to throttle its bandwidth. How now can they distinguish Bittorrent transfers that have the approval of the content owners, and those that do not? Illicit Bittorrent use could explode: "You can even search for torrents by putting in what you're looking for, then adding 'torrent' in any search engine," the site says helpfully. That'll surely turn up a lot of illicit material if you don't like the prices the film studios have made BitTorrent charge.

Interestingly, in a post on his own blog in September, BitTorrent's chief executive Ashwin Navin said: "I now know that a lot of people in the entertainment industry agree when we say: DRM is bad for artists, and it's bad for consumers. Period. There will be a day however when entertainment executives will see DRM as a risk to their business." They might find that the risk has already been run

BitTorrent's new downloads: Legit but lame

2007-03-29T12:13:00.002-07:00

I'm sitting here doing something I haven't done in a long time – watch an episode of The Flintstones. But it's all in the name of research, since I downloaded it onto my PC as a test of BitTorrent's new paid, copyright owner-approved TV and movie download service.

My tests began when I downloaded the new BitTorrent client, which still looks...well, like a BitTorrent client. It's Spartan in the extreme, and you better have at least some sense of how to use it – on my Windows Vista PC, at least, trying to use its help system spawns a browser window with an elegant-looking 404 "page not found error." Oops.

The BitTorrent client does sport a friendly-looking search window. I typed "24" into it, thinking I might buy an episode of the show by that name, and the client launched a browser window that took me to the BitTorrent online store. (In other words, you don't browse and buy stuff in the client – you do it on the Web.) The browser-based store isn't bad – stuff is neatly organized by genre, with decent information on each title.

I started rummaging around in the results of my search, and got distracted when I noticed a episode of the Flints, possibly because Betty Rubble's appearance in Apple's iPhone ad during the Oscars was still fresh in my mind. (The episode in my search results was the 24th one from the first season, which is why it was there.)

I bought it (which required the usual account signup and credit-card info entry). My system wouldn't automatically start the Torrent downloading within the BitTorrent client (which might have been a Firefox or Vista quirk rather than a BitTorrent one), but once I got it downloading within BitTorrent, things went smoothly. And twenty minutes later, I had a high-quality Flintstones episode on my PC.

BitTorrent hands off the file to Windows Media Player (version 10 or above) for playback. Once I authorized my PC to play it – paid BitTorrent downloads will play on a maximum of two PCs, and don't support portable devices – it looked good, either in a little window or a big one. I felt like I'd gotten my US$1.99's worth, pretty much.

On the Internet, though, The Flintstones are a commodity – there are multiple places you can download them for the same price that BitTorrent charges. So I headed to Apple's iTunes Store and plunked an additional $1.99 to buy the same epsiode there.

While BitTorrent downloads involve a piece of client software and a Web-based store, iTunes does it all in one application – a simpler and more seamless experience for sure. BitTorrent has previews for some titles, but didn't have one for this particular item; the iTunes store did let me see a few seconds of the credits before buying. Once I started the download, iTunes took 22 minutes to transfer it to my PC...longer than BitTorrent, but not by enough time that I would have noticed if I hadn't been keeping track.

With BitTorrent, watching the show involved a third interface (that of Windows Media Player); with iTunes, I stayed in the same application where I'd found, bought, and downloaded the episode. Otherwise, the viewing experience wasn't much different. Both of my $1.99 Flintstones shows looked fine and were, in my exhaustive humor benchmarks, equally amusing.

But Apple's episode gave me more Fred and Barney for my money: I could watch the episode on up to five computers –Windows or Mac – or download it to my iPod. BitTorrent's version is viewable on two Windows PCs. Period. And while the BitTorrent episode led off with a boilerplate warning about what the FBI would do to me if I copied the episode or showed it in public, the iTunes version didn't.

I know of at least two other purveyors of $1.99 Flintstones shows, Amazon's Unbox and CinemaNow. Both those services support portable devices that use Windows DRM, and each has some other advantages over BitTorrent. (Unbox lets you watch a show or movie before the download is complete; CinemaNow supports three PCs rather than two.)

In other words, I didn't come across any clear advantages that BitTorrent has over other downloading services that are already out there. Actually, in my little experiment, it seemed to lag behind existing options.

Oh yeah – BitTorrent does offer one meaningful feature that iTunes, Unbox, and Cinemanow don't. Namely, the ability to download any Torrent out there, be it authorized, questionable, or unquestionably unauthorized. The BitTorrent store has a "Web Search" feature which pulls up Torrents beyond what the store itself offers. As usual with Torrents, it wasn't always clear what was what, and some of what seemed to be available either wouldn't download or took so long it wasn't worth the effort.

I didn't run across any questionable Torrents of the Flintstones episode I'd bought from both BitTorrent and iTunes (which was, for the record, The Long, Long Weekend). That was OK – by that point, I'd decided that even if laws and/or ethics weren't factors, spending $1.99 to get a reasonably snappy and reliable download of a TV show is a good deal. I'd also come to the conclusion that for now, at least, BitTorrent isn't the best place to buy them.

I still think the idea of a service that melds legitimate downloads of big-name content with BitTorrent's sophisticated backend is a cool idea. But I also think it's ironic that a service that made its name with free, unlimited downloads of pirated stuff is going legit with some of the most restrictive, illiberal policies out there...

BitTorrent’s Big Play

2007-03-29T12:13:00.001-07:00

BitTorrent had to work hard to convince movie and television executives that it could shed its image as a tool for pirates and become a legitimate online video-downloading destination.

That was the easy part.

Monday, BitTorrent relaunched its site as the BitTorrent Entertainment Network. The site offers over 5,000 movies, television shows, games, and other content to buy, rent, or download for free on the newly launched site, which is the result of partnerships with major studios such as 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and MGM, among others. (See: BitTorrent Flicks on Movies)

Now, the San Francisco, California-based company must convince its core fans to pay for content they once got for free using its peer-to-peer technology. And already, there are rumblings of dissatisfaction across online forums.

On nerd news posting place Slashdot, one contributor wrote of the service: “Why should I pay … when there are plenty of web sites that provide it for free, along with more rights than I would gain with bittorrent.com?”

In order to play ball with the studios, BitTorrent had to agree to digital rights management (DRM) protections on the paid content they are selling on the site—and this has meant that there are limits to their use.

Feature-length films on the site are only for rent, rather than to own, in most cases. Some have a 30-day limit. For some titles, however, the limit is just 24 hours after the first time the movie has been played—something else that has some bloggers fuming. Yet, most other content, such as games, TV shows, and music videos, can be purchased on the site and viewed as many times as the user chooses.

At $2.99 to $3.99 per movie rental and $1.99 to purchase TV shows and music videos, BitTorrent’s offerings are in line with competitors’ prices—but they don’t undercut them. BitTorrent will also be providing high-definition programming. In addition, there is a certain amount of free, non-DRM protected content available—both user-generated and commercial. However, such extras may not be enough to put BitTorrent ahead of its competitors, who include such heavy hitters as iTunes, Joost, Microsoft, YouTube, and Wal-Mart.

In addition, the site’s launch didn’t go as smoothly as many expected, with many who tested it experiencing hiccups while attempting to buy or rent content. For example, PC users’ online publication Ars Technica tested the service and ran into several difficulties with the download process almost every step of the way.

Meanwhile, the site requires downloading the BitTorrent client—something that might alienate non-tech types who find other services more straightforward.

All of this is “part of the growing pains the company is experiencing,” said Gartner analyst Mike McGuire, who believes BitTorrent has a good chance of becoming a significant force because of its advanced technology.

“It’s going to be a constant balancing act among all the stakeholders,” Mr. McGuire said.

These stakeholders include not just the movie studios but BitTorrent’s existing user base. Estimated at 135 million, these are the mostly male, young, tech types that have been using BitTorrent’s peer-to-peer technology for years.

It is BitTorrent’s access to such a demographic that was a draw to the entertainment industry. But as it turns out, it’s also a mighty tough crowd to please.
