BitTorrent will get yet another boost in credibility when BBC will begin to release hundreds of television shows through the file-sharing network after a recent partnership with Azureus, best known for their own Bittorrent client of the same name. Azureus recently launched their own video sharing service, Zudeo, which offers hi-def content unlike other similar services, and BBC will make their shows available for purchase through this network. Unsurprisingly, the content will be DRM-ed, but it's at least interesting to see BBC use BitTorrent for distribution.(via Hacking Netflix)
1. I downloaded the Zudeo player and soon uninstalled it...but the thing wouldn't comletely remove itself from my PC. I had to use System Restore to get the thing off my computer entirely. I don't like that!
