<p>BBC to use BitTorrent; Recalling Mark Pesce's thoughts on the matter.</p>

<p>Seeing this article on how the BBC is going use BitTorrent to distribute films reminded me of the insightful talk given by Mark Pesce on such matters back in 2005.</p> <blockquote><span style="font-size: small;"> Today the BBC published the first episode of R&amp;DTV, a Creative Commons licensed show that users are allowed to remix, redistribute and share. The first episode of the monthly technology show features Digg's Kevin Rose, among others. The BBC hopes to use BitTorrent for the distribution of future episodes. </span></blockquote> <h2>Update 2022-09-22</h2> <p>Old link to the Mark Pesce talk updated to the embed below.</p> <div class="video-container"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/63Hd4oqNxeI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>2009-04-16T00:55:00-07:002009-04-16T00:55:00-07:00Charles Choitag:yummymelon.com,2009-04-16:/devnull/good-times-tag-videogame.html
