The LA Times reports that BitTorrent is partnering with DJ Shadow to launch a product for RealPlayer, making this the first time that an artist has worked with BitTorrent to monetize content.
Fans of DJ Shadow will be able to download his new album, Hidden Transmissions, and opt to support him by also downloading the software from RealPlayer, which is paying DJ Shadow and BitTorrent a referral fee.
Could this be the shape of things to come?
