Re:Oh nooooossss111!1!1....I'm Shortsighted

Blocking out going ports is simply retarded. I know one game used a port (upd port) that was 1 higher than a common worm port at the time for their server. Some idiot tech for a major au isp blocked it instead of the worm port. They blocked some 1000+ customers from accessing the game they were paying to play. My god the number of tickets about that was stagering. Nearly all the 1k players posted. Why in the hell the isp edecided to block a outgoing port ill never know.

As for the legality of bit torrent downloads theres no question pirated software and movies make it on there but the number of games and other software companies distributing their programs on bit torrent is unbeleivable. Youd be hard pressed to find one new game or peice of free ware trial ware etc software that doesnt have a bit torrent download option.

Comapnies have embraced bit torrent big time. It saves them a ton of money in band width costs.
