The app itself isn't seeding? This is both good and bad. The bad part is that it really damages torrents, the good part is that it's legal.

- mschuster91 13y agoMight be fair to add a "seeding allowed" option for those in countries not yet 5 miles into the MPAA's butt, or behind a VPN.
- higherpurpose 13y agoIt's seeding while it's streaming, and I think while on your PC too (until reboot), which seems like a pretty smart way to deal with seeding/leeching ratios to me. Legal? Seriously? You're downloading a free movie, and you're worrying whether uploading it or not would be illegal? It's already illegal. But that hasn't stopped people from using torrents, has it?
- rplnt 13y ago> It's already illegal. No it's not. In general. Depends on where you live. But for me it's illegal to distribute it though, which torrent protocol does.
- sp332 13y agoDistribution (uploading) of movies carries much harsher penalties than downloading movies.
- lawl 13y agoNot everyone lives in 'murrica. In Switzerland (and Germany I think) downloading is perfectly legal. Uploading is not, as you are distributing instead of just consuming. Similar to how drug laws work here, you won't get busted for smoking a joint, but you will get busted for selling stuff.
