Do people still use torrent?

[FFactory0x]

With the mpaa cracking down on torrents do you guys still use them along with software such as peer guardian?

Yes and no in that order. I download TV shows in Canada.

WoW uses torrent tech to distribute patches. Goofy way to distribute, but they figure they get to pocket the money they save on bandwidth.

Yea thats what iwas saying. But with peer guardian, you should be able to avoid ips from coenncting to you

[rh71]

Yes to peer guardian.

Kind of off-topic, but this reminds me of a tv news show a few years ago where some funeral parlor in the USA was sued by Canadainas over some issue where Canadian law was different than US law. Because of NAFTA the funeral place could be sued for violating Canadian law. I don't know how it turned out though.


But I was wondering if the same issue isn't likely to come up again, given the differing copyright decisions and laws of the 2 countries ?

torrents = english subs = slow releases/limited selection for me. bittorent is such a upload bandwidth hog to boot :evil:
