BitTorrent Inc, developer of a popular online file-sharing tool, says it has reached licensing deals that will boost the number of movies and TV shows it can offer as part of a video download service launching next year.
The privately held company said Tuesday it had signed agreements with Viacom Inc.’s Paramount Pictures, News Corp.’s 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, Palm Pictures and Kadokawa Pictures USA.
The San Francisco-based software house also signed content deals with cable television networks G4 and Starz Media, along with several Viacom-owned networks, including MTV Networks, VH1, SpikeTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and Logo.
Financial terms of the licensing agreements were not disclosed.
Added to BitTorrent’s lineup were films such as X-Men: The Last Stand, Saw III and Mission: Impossible III, and TV shows Star Trek, Laguna Beach and South Park.
