BitTorrent embraces BS

2pnet.net News:- BitTorrent booster Ashwin Navin believes bu||shi-|- will ultimately beat DRM.

Or put another way, "advertising-supported content will win out over digital rights [read restrictions] management (DRM) in the long run for movie and TV show downloads".

In a Q&A with the IDG News Service, Navin makes it crystal clear where BT's new loyalties lie.
