Twenty years ago, a group of friends shot a Matrix fan film on a limited budget. Sharing their creation with the rest of the word initially appeared to be too expensive, but then they discovered a new technology called BitTorrent. Fast forward two decades and their “Fanimatrix” release is the oldest active
torrent that’s still widely shared today[1].
That’s amazing. When reading the headline, I assumed it’d be some copyrighted
blockbuster – not something the creators actually wanted to share via BitTorrent.
