This article is about the way in which the BBC has uploaded a big bundle on Bit Torrent, therefore being distributed for free. Although it will be able to be downloaded and streamed, it will cost £12 in order to unlock.
- Fans will be able to download or stream both, but will have to pay $12 to unlock the rest of the bundle, including the 10 episodes – strictly speaking 12, since a couple are two-parters.
- The Doctor Who bundle follows in the footsteps of musician Thom Yorke, who released his last album Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes as a BitTorrent bundle in September 2014, with one free song and video, then a $6 payment to unlock the full album.
- BBC Worldwide – with Capaldi’s input – has carefully chosen the 10 episodes for the bundle as a way in to the modern incarnation of Doctor Who, which was relaunched in 2005.
Wiki Leaks republishes all Sony hacking scandal documents

This article is about the way in which WikiLeaks has republished data which was from last years hacking scandal and made all the document accessible from any search engine.
The move provides much easier access to the stolen information. Searching the name of, for example, former Sony Pictures chief Amy Pascal, whose controversial comments were revealed by the hack, immediately yields nearly 5,700 results.
“We vehemently disagree with WikiLeaks’ assertion that this material belongs in the public domain and will continue to fight for the safety, security, and privacy of our company and its more than 6,000 employees.”
