Where does this say that BitTorrent is working closer with the MPAA? It mentions that in 2005 they were working together to remove pirated content.

It does mention that in 2008 a deal between BitTorrent and Best Buy fell apart due to external situations (the comcast thing).

Also, it might be noted that Akamai bought out Red Swoosh ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Swoosh ) last year to compete with BitTorrent.

I wonder what Bram's plan is.

It ought to be obvious that none of this is about piracy. It's about new sources of revenue. It's divix again, but this time mandated by law, because people refused to buy it. It is about charging extra for extra functionality like pause and fast forward. That's what DRM is about, not piracy.

Bram isn't running the company; he's not even the CTO. Worst-case, Bram gets to collect a salary for five years and then walk away from the smoking wreckage.

There's still time to sell to Adobe. (I don't think Amicima's technology is comparable to BitTorrent.)
