• Bram Cohen and Ashwin Navin saw an opportunity.
• Movie studios needed a way to transfer their files quickly and efficiently- Bit Torrent was a good way to do it.
• Warner Bros. was looking for a way to keep up with the times and go digital
• The companies needed a way to combat piracy.
Cohen and Navin used old skills to form this company Cohen used to work at Yahoo and saw the
need for a fast downloading DCM was the venture capitalist and funded
the project This was risky, as Napster had legal issues
and was shut down- Bit Torrent spent over $50,000 on legal research and support
Doll Capital Management is the sole investor in this project
Made a deal with Bit Torrent. Warner Bros. want to take the next step
in technological advances Next step to sign deals with studios and
record labels to establish price of files.
