Geneon offering Lupin for download via Vuze

Anime News Network is reporting that Geneon will be distributing Lupin via BitTorrent. No word yet on pricing other than they will be giving away the first episode for free. Geneon will be using the Vuze video service; Vuze requires digital rights management software from Windows XP or Vista, as well as Windows Media Player 10 or higher.

While I'm not wild about it being restricted to Windows only, that is OS of choice for most of the downloading nation. Will this revitalize the franchise in the US? It certainly couldn't hurt.
