The company will soon start to enforce a trademark policy as it is attempting to become a legitimate distributor for movies online. "We're sensitive to people calling their software BitTorrent to achieve a certain level of popularity in order to distribute spyware and adware," Navin said. Due to its high speed and reliability, BitTorrent has become one of the most popular ways to share pirated movies, software, music and games online.
People who want to use the BitTorrent trademark while marketing products will have to pay a nominal fee to the company. The company will also review the software to ensure compliance with a set of security standards.
