BitTorrent stop streaming service

BitTorrent has already pulled the plug from its streaming service BitTorrent Now after four months.

BitTorrent founder Bram Cohen sent according to the sources earlier this week an e-mail about the changes to the staff. The company had invested millions in the streaming service.

It is not the first time that BitTorrent, which designed a protocol to distribute downloads peer-to-peer, is trying to transform it into a media company. In 2008 the company had an Entertainment Store including films, which would be successful. The BitTorrent protocol is still mainly used for illegal downloading.
