Anyone Can Play Big Brother With BitTorrent

An anonymous reader writes "I was at the 3rd USENIX Workshop on Large-Scale Exploits and Emergent Threats yesterday, and there were people from the French Institute for Computer Science who have continuously spied on most BitTorrent users on the Internet for 100 days, from a single machine. They've also identified 70% of all content providers; yes, those guys that insert the new contents into BitTorrent. As a BitTorrent user, I was shocked that anyone with a box connected to the Internet can spy on what everyone is downloading on BitTorrent."

    I'll call BS on your comment.

    You know as well as I do, even if copyright laws were relaxed, far too many people like you are too cheap to pay for anything anyways, especially when you can get it for free.

    YOU are denying the person who created the content the sale. YOU have denied them the money they would have made. YOU have TAKEN from them something that was rightfully theirs. THE SALE.

    YOU are a liar, you are stealing.

    I download, but at least I'm not a fucking hypocrite like you. I know exactly what I am doing. Its call theft.

    Hypocrite.
