[modifica wikitesto]Regardless, he is outspoken in his belief that the current media business was doomed to being outmoded despite the RIAA and MPAA's legal or technical tactics, such as digital rights management. In May 2005, Cohen released a trackerless beta version of BitTorrent.
In late 2003, Cohen served a short stint at Valve Software to work on Steam, their digital distribution system introduced for Half-Life 2.
By 2004, he had left Valve and formed BitTorrent, Inc. with his brother Ross Cohen and business partner Ashwin Navin.
BitTorrent and the MPAA
[modifica wikitesto]By mid 2005, BitTorrent was funded by venture capitalist David Chao from Doll Capital Management, and in late 2005 Cohen and Navin made a deal with the MPAA to remove links to illegal content on the official BitTorrent website. The deal was with the seven largest studios in America. The agreement means the site will comply with procedures outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.[1]
Other interests
[modifica wikitesto]Cohen's hobbies include original origami and juggling up to five balls, but his main interest is in recreational mathematics. Cohen maintains a blog [2] where he frequently discusses trust metrics with Raph Levien, as well as money systems, games of skill, and other math-related topics. He is also a twisty puzzle enthusiast.
Cohen claims he has Asperger syndrome[3][4] based on a self diagnosis.[5]
