Re: Why is it legal....

A buddy of mine who uses Bit Torrent a lot actually got an e-mail from Universal Studios telling him to stop. I'm not kidding.

I have a sneaky suspiscion that some of these Bit Torrent sites are actually run by MPAA members so they can track heavy users.

Kinda like the conspiracy theory that AV companies make the viruses?

I doubt it unless they are putting phony copies of movies online. (Something along the lines of what Madonna did, first few seconds is the movie and then it's just the director cursing you out for the rest of the film. )

According to "Pirates of the Internet" on 60 Minutes, the studios ARE putting spoofed movie files online and have been doing so for a while. They interviewed the owner of the private company that does this for them and which also spends its time surfing p2p usage looking for recent film releases available as downloads.
