Second, Apple must evaluate whether customers should be forced to download their purchase with BitTorrent or whether the company should offer 1) an alternative client or 2) an option that disables all P2P features at the risk of slower downloads. As a result, customers may prefer to use another client besides BitTorrent or turn off the peer-to-peer option so they may use their computers while their file is downloading. Sometimes, as company experiments have shown, it is enough so that users cannot engage in common applications, like surf the Internet or play online games, while downloading a file with BitTorrent.

For example, buyers are not able to watch the downloaded movies on a TV and they limit the number of computers the particular DVDs can be played on. BitTorrent simply has protections on their files to really make them appeal to consumers. Similarly, BitTorrent has some problems with their service that will ultimately not allow them to compete with Apple. If you are lucky you might be able to get a movie in an hour or two, but it is not unlikely to have some movie take up to six or seven hours. Finally, even if you have another media player like Zune, it takes forever to download movie files through Wal-Mart’s service. Secondly, people who want to watch a certain movie on an iPod don’t realize that Apple has protections to prevent movie files from being played that were not purchased through Apple.
The first problem with Wal-Mart’s service is that if you can easily purchase the DVD of a movie you can put that file onto your computer much easier than it would be to wait until the movie was downloaded onto your computer. The dismissal of Wal-Mart is quite simple. Though Apple is competing with different companies like Wal-Mart and BitTorrent in the online movie downloading market, many believe these competing companies do not have strong enough products to actually become a threat.
