| reply to jarthur31 You can't make a "technology" illegal!
"They should make torrent technology illegal because after it all it has no lawful uses whatsoever."
@jarthur31, to put it simply... You're out to lunch!
BitTorrent technology is being adopted for many perfectly legitimate uses. And the technology is still considered to be in its "infancy".
If the ISPs would just stop kissing MAFIAA ass, and let this technology develop (instead of deliberately interfering with it), some really useful innovations revolving around its usage would surely emerge.
By your thinking, we should make things like CARS, KNIVES, PLASTIC BAGS, and even SPEECH illegal, as some people have used these things to seriously hurt of even kill others!
You cannot blame a TOOL for what some people do with it. Any technology is just that - a tool.
...Mind you, there ARE some "tools" I could blame for the current state of the Internet! ; ) |
