Users searching for copies of movies via BitTorrent.com's search engine will begin to come up empty-handed as links to files pegged as infringing by the MPAA are purged from the index. However, the agreement does nothing to keep copyrighted material from being torrented; it just will make some torrents more difficult to find. Private tracker sites that manage to elude the legal machinations of the MPAA will remain online, and there are always trackerless torrents. However, the pact may make life tougher for some torrent sites as they require a critical mass of users in order to effectively distribute content.
The promise of leveraging new content distribution systems in order to deliver a value-added movie-viewing experience to consumers while maximizing shareholder value sounds great. But at the heart of the agreement between Cohen and the MPAA is something much more simple: a quick-and-easy way for the MPAA to deliver DMCA takedown notices to BitTorrent. It gets Hollywood's main product out of the official tracker search engine while providing Cohen immunity from future lawsuits.
