torrentfreak.com — French record labels have received the green light to sue four US-based companies that develop P2P applications, including the BitTorrent client Vuze, Limewire and Morpheus. Shareaza is the fourth application, for which the labels are going after the open source development platform SourceForge.

I'm fully aware of the legal uses of torrents - my point is that the illegal use far outweighs the legal use.Example -TPB is currently listing 1,478,311 torrents.LegitTorrents is currently listing 1821 torrents.Show me another legal track and I'll show you far more illegal ones.and BrianJK - prove me wrong then.You are kidding yourself if you think the legal uses are anywhere near the illegal uses. It is the thieves and pirate who are f**king it up for everyone.
