LOS ANGELES - In a deal aimed at reducing illegal Internet traffic in pirated films, Hollywood reached an agreement Tuesday with the creator of the popular file-sharing software BitTorrent.

The agreement requires 30-year-old software designer Bram Cohen to prevent his Web site, bittorrent.com, from locating pirated versions of popular movies, effectively frustrating people who search for illegal copies of films.

BitTorrent must remove Web links leading to illegal content owned by the seven studios that are members of the Motion Picture Association of America.

What you think? End of Torrents as we know of them?

I never use ads, so it won't affect me :P
