But, for 1 buck you could try downloading it and demonstrating to the industry that this is a viable distribution technique. See you could also use this to smack the folks at Comcast about thier packet shaping and illustrate that P2P is not just something that the industry sees a pirate tool. As for formats, DRM, etc – come on!!! I appreciate your stance on DRM is bad, but it exists in a variety of formats (Blu-ray, HD=DVD )… Take a chance boys!!!

I submit that you two clowns are the exception rather than rule. The Bittorrent guys are trying to reach a wider audience than the usual technical people who use various flavors of bittorrent. Of course, whether these non-tech people actually know about Bittorrent.com, or what bittorrent even is, is another issue.

And I did the same thing you guys did…. :)

I went there, saw that I got no details on what the technical details were, and moved on.

I want to know if it is wide screen format, what the bit rate is, what the resolution is, what codec is used, what DRM format it is so I can decide if the DRM is dangerous or not.

Without this data present on the download site I would NEVER buy this.

Silliness abounds, but when it comes to SFF, I’m so easy…

We also watched Transformers, another very silly one I wish they had spent more time on the connective tissue for. Alas. I wish I were queen of the SFF Movie Universe. Things would be different.
