BitTorrent's Creator Bram Cohen Interviewed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the mega-props-to-this-guy dept.

Delta-9 writes "The New York Times has this interview (free reg. req.) with Bram Cohen, the author/creator of the widely popular BitTorrent p2p application." Talks a bit about BitTorrent, its implications, but also a lot about Bram himself. Interesting piece.

    Thinking I could get some free (as in beer) stuff, I surfed out to supernova.org only to find the following when displaying the search page:

    File: C:\Documents and Settings\..\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar\arc hive.jar-27b6d965-34a57383.zip

    Perhaps there is some sort of moral lesson here about honor amongst thieves.
