Re: Vuze is not exactly a trustworthy source. said by SuperWISP:Remember, they used to be Azureus, which shamelessly promoted piracy. And Vuze has still been pointing users at pirated material. Umm... That's kind of the point of the article: that people that download those pirated materials frequently convert to the licensed, hard-media versions.
Case in point: me. There's a number of movies that I had no interest in seeing at the theatre, renting or buying. But, because I was in Europe and needed something English-language to watch, I downloaded a bunch of movies. Since coming home, I've bought those movies that I liked.
Ugh... People that fight this are the same kinds of people that think listening stations at record stores were a bad idea.
