BitTorrent's search is apparently functional now. The big entertaiment groups MPAA and RIAA are going to be all over
this, not because it's changed the way people download files but more on the effect that the BitTorrent brand brings to
the file-sharing war.
Interesting that when searching for "revenge of the sith" the #1 banner spot served by Ask Jeeves displays a Moviefone
ad to buy tickets for the film. Another proof that BitTorrent can potentially drive more revenue to studios and
labels.
We'd love to hear from our readers their first impression on the service.
1. So far I haven't been impressed. I don't see how the bittorrent search engine surpases say ISOHUNT's. Many of the files found are linked to pay sites, which require membership to download the file.
