BSA Reacts to 'New' BitTorrent

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the usual-response dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems the Business Software Alliance isn't afraid of the new, tracker-less BitTorrent beta. While it concedes it will have to 'regroup', Tarun Sawney, BSA Asia anti-piracy director, said BitTorrent files could still be identified. 'BSA has traditionally sought the assistance of those hosting the actual pirated files. With or without the tracker sites, someone still hosts the infringing files.'"

    Actually, it'd be more like the CRACK would shout that I'm carrying a pound of crack.

    Or, even more similar, the baggie announces that it has a pound of crack inside, and that it can (and needs to) hold another pound before it's full.

    In any case, just walk on by, because it's your paranoia. That's not a cop shop, it's a laundry mat... And those are the voices in your head. Be cool, man. Be cool.

    If you're only using 26 letters are you really reproducing a book or just a stream of letters? Think punctuation, whitespace, numbers etc. You might want to expand your 26 letters to a character set.
