So if you have a feature film for example, you might create a downloadable bundle with the film, the trailer, a copy of the script, some behind the scenes videos, or any other special features. A ‘Bundle’ is a downloadable package that you create that can consist of just about any files that you’d like to make available. The full name of the service is ‘BitTorrent Bundles’, and it’s an exceptionally powerful way for content creators to share their work with a massive audience either for free, for profit, or for any number of other benefits. So what exactly is BitTorrent’s new model and how can we as filmmakers utilize it? While many users did use the platform the pirate content, BitTorrent themselves were only trying to develop software to allow for a global sharing platform between users. But let’s set the record straight, BitTorrent is and always has been a very legitimate operation.
