BitTorrent goes the way of Napster

Napster never had much success becoming a paid service. I think it's hard to convince people who got things for free that they should start paying for the same things. Bittorrent is trying the same approach with their new service starting today. I believe their files use Windows Media DRM to allow for "renting" and of course that excludes non-Windows users. I think that's the same thing Wal-Mart is trying to do, with little success. I don't think this is going to be successful.
