Re: Feel bad?

said by Lumberjack See Profile :

P2P was created not to share linux distributions, WoW patches or whatever else... it was created to share mp3s ripped from CDs.
Actually, the protocols they're going after (ie. BitTorrent) were created simply as a cheap means to distribute large files over the web - no specific purpose/reason was made or given. It was the pirates that jumped on this, feeling they were "untraceable" at the time, that made the protocol seem so closely tied with the technology.

Is piracy a greater volume of P2P traffic than legit users? Yes.

Does this mean that P2P = piracy? Absolutely not.

As I've said before, get the criminals off legit and legal protocol channels, not just criminalize the entire sect of the technology.
