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 a practical sense, the big deal is that such uses for BitTorrent
poke holes in the corporate culture argument that BitTorrent is
nothing but a vector for copyright resistance.

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.
