Comment Re:REAL OFFICIAL Torrents available (Score 1) 165

Specifically, I was talking about the actual .torrent files, not the content. My comment was in response to seeing slashdot comments linking to a .torrent file on nerdtv.net which wasn't meant for public distribution (and as far as I know, wouldn't actually get you the interview since no one was seeding). The .torrent links I posted above are the ones to use.

Comment BitTorrent's use (Score 4, Interesting) 740

I, as the author of BitTorrent, would like to make it very clear than I have nothing to do with any of the BitTorrent sites, and that BitTorrent is not and never will be designed to be good for illegal distribution. In particular I'm not doing anything to decentralize the tracker or add anonymity. It is in fact quite anonymity-unfriendly. BitTorrent is also used for a lot more than just TV shows and movies, which people would find out if they bothered doing any web searching. I keep telling people that running warez sites is stupid, and they keep doing it. If you wanna brazenly run a massive warez site, that's your prerogative, but don't be surprised when the long arm of the law comes down on you.
