In what way is the bittorrent protocol criminalized?
- yayr 3y agoscheme 1: agents for copyright holders continuously scan for IP addresses who host copyrighted content and start legal actions. scheme 2: criminal groups infect copyrighted content with malware to exploit downloaders of such content.
- harkinian 3y agoNeither of those are against the bittorrent protocol itself. Lots of software like Ubuntu is legally available on bittorrent, and I've never seen anything done to restrict that.
