Can you tell me what law says you cannot say "There may be someone at x location that may have information you may be interested in.. if you're looking for some stuff."
The sites were not violating copyright law. They were listing links that went to other links that connected to a tracker that connects seeds and peers to each other in order for them to share the love.
No, the problem is that the upload totally saturates the connection. I've got 3Mbit cable from Adelphia, and if I use all my upload my download rates drop hard.
BitTorrent needs some upload to talk to seeds and peers to say "I've got xx parts, do you need them? I need xx parts, do you have them?" but if it cannot talk to other people, your rates just die.
The problem was that you couldn't set your upload in the client. If you used a resource extracting program, you could get the plain.torrent out of their exe and use your client of choice to download it.
I know you can skip them by doing some trickery and changing files around, but WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO?
I purchased this game for $54.95 so I could PLAY it. I don't want to sit through 5 minutes of video every time the damn thing crashes or I have to exit to do something.

I've got a theory, and I think you may all agree with me on this:
We've stumbled on an ancient Martain car wash.
It's invisible, of course.
To think anything different would be just plain silly.
Really? That many people don't hate GE?
/. population may hate MS, but all of Berkshire County hates GE.
GE had a huge plant that was the size of my whole TOWN in a city a few miles north of here.
They closed that plant for no good reason, maybe so a CEO could get an extra few million for a christmas bonus.
The people who lost their jobs couldn't afford to move to where jobs existed, so we had about 100,000 people jobless at the same time.
Now the city is choked with crime and drugs. The schools are having problems not only with weed but with crack and heroin.
The entire county has felt it, and continues to feel it even this long after the closing.
The entire
And they did it to other towns, too.
GE ruined people's LIVES. Microsoft doesn't lay off tens of thousands of people when they close a plant.
Next time, think before you comment.
Nice try.
But the quoted text up there makes me dizzy when I try to read it...
Do you own a printer?
What purpose would this USB-Enabled Electronic Typewriter serve? Other than the "Just because I can, damnit!" I mean.
What law?

How is this a troll and the post before it insightful?
Do people even read the comments they moderate?

Do you ever feel silly for saying this?

You know some countries don't have agreements with the USA, right?
The MPAA has no jurisdiction, they are a group of companies.
They seem to be winning their campaign, because people are starting to think the MPAA and RIAA are law enforcement departments.
And when you're living in the middle of nowhere in China, Africa, Russia.. anywhere else.. how are they going to make you do anything?
There is a plugin where you right click on a website requiring a password and it checks a database of usernames/passwords and gives you one.

One guy around here, I don't remember his name, calls himself a "White Hat Code Wizard" to get around the Hack/Crack thing.
How do I get TurboTAX working in this Lenux thing?
Oh no, my games stopped working!
How do I install Kazaa on this thing?
Install Linux on someone's computer when they're not looking. Or someone who can hardly use Windows. See how well it goes. Here's a hint: BADLY.
You can leave the country at any time.
And you know what, we won't miss you.
I was wondering how to get the most out of my 9800 AIW PRO, so I installed Windows and the latest Cats and everything just works.
Interesting.
You're missing the big point here:
What large software company lives in Washington?
You're missing the point.
