Re: Law suit time

Yeh if you are beta testing World of Warcraft for example, they push their client patches which can be nearly 2.5 GB using bittorrent technology... I use bittorrent regularly to download FPS mods for Battelfield 1942. All these uses are very legitimate, why should they be chocked becuase a few bad apples are doing illegal things?

A few?

I don't support the ISP's blocking things without telling customers, but I am not so naive to believe that there are only a "few" bad apples using BitTorrent.

It's more like a few legitimate users are using it, and have a point. The majority of bandwidth used by BitTorrents is not legitimate.

Unless you want to believe in the good of mankind, and that the 35% of Internet traffic contributed to BitTorrent is multiplayer maps, game patches, and music from artists that distribute music freely.
