• 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.
