Peer-to-peer file sharing star BitTorrent on Wednesday announced a studio partnership to make original online video, ramping up a challenge to Netflix and Amazon Prime and trying to further legitimize its image. The exclusive alliance with Rapid Eye Studios will "identify, produce, and distribute original video" aimed at young adults, according to the company. BitTorrent Originals will debut content to be shown exclusively on the platform for one to three months. "Others in the original content space such as Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu have made great progress," said BitTorrent chief content officer Matt Mason.
