Your argument is nonsense. You presume that the torrent feature implies something unsavory, akin to porn, when it's merely a means of copying from point A to point B efficiently.
"Forgive my language, but do you see how stupid your argument is?"
Actually you're embarrassing yourself, compounding your first foolish remark with this escalation.
- res0nat0r 14y ago> You presume that the torrent feature implies something unsavory The beauty of this is that it is well within Dropbox's rights to determine what they deem savory and unsavory for their business, not you...
- wissler 14y agoWhat a bizarre thing to say. No one has disputed Dropbox's legal rights here. The question at issue is whether they are morally upstanding to make this decision or not. And guess what? It's my prerogative to state what I think on that topic, not yours, not Dropbox's.
- res0nat0r 14y agoI guess the only thing left is...build your own alternative to Dropbox?
- chii 14y ago"The question at issue is whether they are morally upstanding to make this decision or not." A business does not operate in a "moral" way, unlike a human would. No matter how much you personify a business. They would want the public to perceieve them as being moral, but they are doing that for only one reason - PR, which to some coroprations, are intimately tied to their bottom line. I have no doubt moral behaviour is a consequence of it being a good way to increase the bottomline, and is not a goal in of itself. The free documentary film "The Corporation" outlines this quite well, and worth watching.
