Am I the only one confused by this series of stories?
BitTorrent isn't a company, it's a protocol. Whatever happens in any private or public business anywhere in the world for years to come is going to have absolutely zero impact on the public's usage of the bittorrent protocol.
Why would you even have a business named BitTorrent? Would you name your business "E-Mail"?
It makes zero sense, it has zero importance, and for some reason it keeps making headlines? I'm calling shenanigans. Get your brooms. (SouthPark reference. :) )
Nope, BitTorrent, Inc. is just as scummy as its new owners. Both of the proprietary(!) clients it distributes, BitTorrent and uTorrent, are loaded with adware and other garbage. The inventor of the open-source BitTorrent protocol we all know and love, Bram Cohen[0], already left the company late last year to start another company, Chia.Network[1], which is yet another cryptocurrency company.
