Hollywood movie studios have long been at war with file-sharing platform BitTorrent because it provides an avenue for consumers to download films and other copyrighted content without paying.

BitTorrent, used by pirates, offers to distribute pulled Sony film The Interview 1419202205167

But in an unusual twist, BitTorrent Inc has offered to distribute - legally - the controversial US film at the centre of the Sony Pictures Entertainment hacking scandal.

Sony cancelled the scheduled Christmas Day US release of The Interview, a comedy about the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, after hackers threatened cinema-goers with acts of terror, and movie theatres refused to screen it.

While mainstream video-on-demand services such as Netflix are reportedly refusing to go near the film, BitTorrent Inc told various US media outlets that its peer-to-peer network was "the very best way for Sony to take back control of their film".

BitTorrent is a protocol that allows people to download large files directly from each other, also known as "torrenting".
