    The above factoid is from Reuters news. They suggest that the intellectual property owners will start cracking down on BitTorrent now that its becoming sort of mainstream.
    So get downloading while you still can....

    It's brilliant because it's much harder for studios to track people as trackers can be spread out everywhere!

    They say spam takes up 60%. Now 33% for warezing. I'm guessing that the other 7% is porn. Maybe we should get a second interweb.
