> 'Bit Torrent' is way beyond most people's material capability, moreover, you kind of have to really look for stuff, know where to find it, possibly wait forever for stuff to download, you expose yourself to all sorts of creepy stuff and spyware - it's a 'bad experience'.
Which is why most people just get it on a portable drive through good old sneaker net, the people downloading torrents are a minority of pirates.
- sli 7y agoMy dad always questioned me downloading music off Napster during high school, but fast forward to the past couple years, and he's coming home from work with 1Tb external drives filled with pirated movies given to him by a coworker. That was as surprising answer when I was at my parents' house and asked about the random hard drive on their computer desk. He's not a tech guy, so I'd say this is probably at least not uncommon.
