Why doesn't "government" go against bittorrent? Oh, I forgot, they can't! Nevermind.
- ben_w 9y agoIf any government cared enough (except perhaps the American one), it could ban the the protocol. They don’t care, and the people who do care are satisfied with the existing options for suing copyright infringers. TOR is much more likely to be regulated than bittorrent, given the whole point of the latter is to remove control from governments.
- thriftwy 9y agoThey used to care pretty strongly. That's a fact. They also didn't do much about it. Also a fact.
