Wow, this crap is still going on? Might want to hide your bitTorrent folder. They might get j00.

I don't torrent that often, but when I do, I usually have a legitimate use for it.

I think as long as I'm not running a giant torrent site, I'll be fine.

I never torrent anything, so, no problems there.

I occasionally use torrents, but it's impossible to shut down all the sites out there. Piracy will either bring up new sites, or there will be a new P2P thing.

In other news. Torrented Mac OS X. I just need... Well, a CD that can hold 4+ gigs... Or at least something that can have the .iso get booted up from the boot menu/whatever.

They aren't hosting the files so there is nothing illegal.

The sites can be used for legal purposes. When the section says Games or Music, they could be non-copyrighted things in there, but the sites are not going to control what is put up.

That doesn't cut it anymore, from what I can tell... the new concept is that they have some sort of vague responsibility to verify that their software and site is being used for legal purposes.

Of course, this is in Spain...

This is why you self host the server and have an instant batch file handy to kill all the .torrent's.

Wait...

We can sue site administrators for not doing their job?

I wonder if they could kill a site that allowed users to upload torrents, and did remove copyrighted stuff, but was generally slow to do so due to being short-staffed?

No, you still can't, but industry groups with tons of money to pay off ridiculously expensive lawyers can
