Thank you Destrox.
The tone and purpose of this post was not in reference to the legal uses for this software. Re-read the question and response to the initial posts. Yes, torrents are inherantly legal, but have not been tested in court. Kazzaa/Morpheous will get it's day in court next week.
I use torrents for Firefox updates, but the reality is that in it's infancy, the software is being used for illegal purposes as well. That is the topic of this thread.
Also, Slavakion: Hosting a torrent that points to stolen software is aiding and abbeting, and is in fact illegal. That has been tested in court, though the ruling was declared not to set precedent.
Be honest as to the content of this post. Torrents are a great thing if used legaly, this thread was not about that.
