Won't stop me. - ArthurSucks, on 11/09/2008, -1/+17As much as I love bittorrent, the company has never made sense to me. Almost all of the innovations has come from developers outside.
- thepoliticalcat, on 11/07/2008, -1/+13Cool! I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
- rolf, on 11/09/2008, -1/+12Mainly illegal? Maybe, but not only. I get my ubuntu every release cycle that way. And other things - like a cool set of CC licensed Physics textbooks the other day:

- vallver, on 11/09/2008, -0/+9I think you didn't express yourself the way you wanted to...
- ElBeh, on 11/09/2008, -4/+12Oh c'mon. Of course the technology can be used by legal means, but you're blind if you think that it's mainly used for Piracy. Not that it's a bad thing, but don't kid yourself.
BitTorrent FTW. - ElBeh, on 11/09/2008, -2/+10Woah, Deja Vu
- inactive, on 11/09/2008, -1/+7Woah, Deja Vu

- moulin1, on 11/09/2008, -2/+7"used for mainly illegal purposes" It aggravates me that bloggers so blythly set themselves up as judge and jury and call bittorrent illegal. In seven years there has never been a single criminal prosecution or even charge against a bittorrent user. Why? Because "illegal" is a myth fabricated by the RIAA, MPAA, and IFPI. Even pro-torrent bloggers fall for the sham and call their own activities illegal. There is no such law in any country in the world.
- MercedRocks, on 11/08/2008, -0/+4Hopefully the next pres expands its reach with popular media sites.
- ElTomacco, on 11/09/2008, -0/+3Perhaps you should reread the article.
- inactive, on 11/10/2008, -0/+2You missed out the word 'NOT'
- mcnab32, on 11/09/2008, -0/+2Well to be fair, lets confront the elephant in the room here. Be honest, do you think that the CONTENT of the majority of .torrent files available are legal? I think the largest use of Bittorent clients etc are for illegal file sharing. That's not to say it doesn't have legal uses, but lets be honest, we both know that is what it's mostly used for. I think that the whole concept of copyright etc is totally broken for the modern digital age, but that's a whole different discussion.
It's like going into a "smoke shop" and buying a hookah pipe so that you can smoke some "tobacco" in your nice new hookah pipe. We both know you're using it to get high as a kite with your stash of mary jane at home.
Almost all of these companies who have tried to legitimize something that is on the whole, used in a majority for lillegal practices have failed. Look at Napster (the legal one), or other "Pro" services of existing P2P networks that they have tried to legitimize. It just doesn't work. I think that the concept of torrenting is a very good one, and one that major media should have the balls to use to get content out to people in a better way. - ElBeh, on 11/09/2008, -1/+2What'd I do wrong, Vallver? D:
- moulin1, on 11/10/2008, -0/+1Aside from the fact that I do indeed smoke tobacco in my hookah and resent your implication... You just did it again! The contents of torrent files are illegal? That doesn't even make any sense. Your whole argument is pointing out which aspects of file sharing are illegal without any explanation for why file sharing would be illegal in the first place. Since no one has ever been charged with the nonexistant charge of "illegal file sharing" nor can you quote me any law that states file sharing is illegal it is nothing but a fantasy. The fact that you and the RIAA, MPAA, IFPI share the same fantasy doesn't make it any more real.
- MountainManMark, on 11/09/2008, -0/+1one more step to google world domination
- inactive, on 11/10/2008, -1/+1YES - MAINLY illegal - the proportion of legal use is insignificant compared to the illegal use. Fact it.
- Thinkerofthings, on 11/09/2008, -6/+1He is stepping down because of back to back impending lawsuits from MPAA and RIAA for his illegal file sharing... shame shame
