The seven biggest Hollywood studios have made a deal with BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen to stop people finding BitTorrent trackers from the bittorrent.com website in a bid to reduce piracy.

BitTorrent has an estimated 45 million users and has been touted as a realistic technology for future legal distribution.
