It seems that Khan Academy, the makers of those awesome (if insufficiently freely licensed) educational videos, has teamed up with BitTorrent as a distribution mechanism:

In an aesthetic sense, as a free culture geek it's a big deal because it feels sort of like the special issue where Superman and Batman team up. :-) Anyway, thought I'd share. -=Steve=- -- Stephen H.
