Meanwhile, bittorrent is completely free and requires absolutely no subscription.
- eridius 9y agoAnd is illegal. EDIT: Does it really need to be stated that the context here is using bittorrent to illegally download copyrighted works, and that the protocol itself is not illegal?
- navidfarhadi 9y agoThe BitTorrent communication protocol is not illegal, at least here in the US.
- rhino369 9y agoDon't be dense, f2n was clearly advocating for downloading copies of copyrighted works.
- navidfarhadi 9y agoYeah, that was very likely what f2n was advocating. However I wanted to make it clear to eridius that it is not the protocol itself that is illegal. Downloading copies of copyrighted works is indeed illegal. BitTorrent is not only used for illegally downloading copies of copyrighted content, just like encryption is not exclusively used for terrorism.
- eridius 9y agoI would like to make it clear that I am perfectly aware the protocol is not illegal, and I'm rather flabbergasted that anyone thought that actually needed to be said. The context was very clearly advocating for using bittorrent to illegally download copyrighted works.

- norealidea 9y agobittorrent itself is not illegal.
- f2n 9y agoOkay, ignore the people saying bittorrent isn't illegal: Who cares that it's illegal?
