BitTorrent's Loss is eDonkey's Gain?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the rolling-with-the-punches dept.

MrAndrews writes "According to this BBC article, users in South Korea, Italy, Germany and Spain are using BitTorrent less frequently these days, after lawsuits by the movie industry. However: "While the use of BitTorrent has fallen, file sharers have moved to an alternative network called eDonkey". "

    By making a copy then returning the original, you have copied and distributed it. You just distributed it to yourself.

    It's the same if you were to buy a copyrighted work, copy it, then sell the original. You're expected to destroy all copies.

    I don't think time shifting applies because it was not broadcast to you.
