Re: I don't get what this is about... He could patent the protocol and charge tracker hosts. protocol can be open to client/servers but not to trackers.
I think he was scared of tracker control though because of the legal issues with becoming a 'host' of sorts.

| it's a little late to patent the bittorrent protocol don't you think? once something is in the public domain, it is pretty damn hard to get a patent that isn't laughable and collect money from people that want the right you use the patent. also trying to force trackers to pay up is ridiculous. |
