BitTorrent Founder Navin Talks DRM



Ashwin Navin, co-founder and president of file-sharing software developer BitTorrent, thinks that advertising-supported content will win out over digital rights management (DRM) in the long run for movie and TV show downloads. But his company is embracing DRM as it opens a new movie download Web site that will compete with the Unbox store launched by Amazon.com and Apple Computer’s iTunes Store.

In an interview with the IDG News Service, he presented BitTorrent’s views on DRM and its online movie store plan.
