What annoys me most about the war on Bittorrent is that it comes at such a tremendous cost. There used to be a time when you could find all kinds of _rare_ data in the Bittorrent swarm. Now, between all the banning, blocking, slowing down and taking down of trackers, a lot of the richness is gone. Sure, all the holywood crap is still there, but what about the sitedumps of now-offline web plattforms and the like?
