In January last year, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) announced the test release of one of their most popular shows through BitTorrent. The show was made available in high quality (MPEG4, 1024×576, 25fps, no DRM) through the Amazon S3 tracker. The release was an experiment, but with roughly 8000 downloads the first day (Norway has a population of 4.6 million), it was considered a success. This week, NRK announced that they are setting up their own BitTorrent tracker, based on the same software the the Pirate Bay uses.
