Anyoen?
Any old iron, any old iron,
Any any any old iron?
You look neat, talk about a treat!
You look so dapper from your napper to your feet.
Dressed in style, brand-new tile,
And your father's old green tie on.
But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch and chain,
Old iron, old iron.

Agency aims to reduce movie pirating
Tuesday, November 22, 2005; Posted: 3:51 p.m. EST (20:51 GMT)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hollywood negotiated an agreement Tuesday with the creator of BitTorrent software, popular for downloading pirated movies over the Internet, in a deal aimed at reducing illegal traffic in online films.
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, according to executives familiar with the deal.
These people spoke only on condition of anonymity because details of the agreement between the major studios and Cohen were being announced later Tuesday in Los Angeles.
The agreement represents the latest effort by the entertainment industry to discourage illegal Internet downloads. It also demonstrates Cohen's sensitivity toward Hollywood's piracy problems, making him potentially more attractive to studios for future deals related to movie downloads.
Cohen disclosed in September his company had raised $8.75 million in venture funding to develop commercial distribution tools for media companies.
The BitTorrent technology pioneered by Cohen -- and used by an estimated 45 million people -- assembles digital movies and other computer files from separate bits of data downloaded from other computer users across the Internet.
Its decentralized nature makes downloading more efficient but also frustrates the entertainment industry's efforts to find and identify movie pirates.
The agreement with Cohen would not prevent determined Internet users from finding movies or other materials using tools or Web sites other than Cohen's, but it removes one of the most convenient methods people have used.
