Warner Bros. to Try File Sharing

  • Written by dubstylee

In a move that shows Hollywood is examining the benefits of a technology it long reviled, Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Bros. is expected to announce today that it will sell movies and television shows online in Germany using peer-to-peer technology.

Warner Bros. is working with Bertelsmann AG and its subsidiary Arvato to create a service called In2Movies, to launch in March. The service will feature movies dubbed into German, including "Batman Begins" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," for a fee that Warner says will be similar to the cost of a DVD. It will also offer television shows like "The O.C." and locally made programs and movies. Users, who will have to register for the service, will be able to keep the movie indefinitely. But instead of getting a movie from a central server, pieces of it could come from other people on the network who also bought that movie.
