The MPAA wanted to ban VCRs so you couldn't tape anything. They would like to control how you use your Tivo, and they would have you believe that if you go to the bathroom or kitchen during commercials, (as do about 95% of all viewers) you are doing something wrong.
But, no matter what the courts decide, or how much the MPAA fights, they will never stop the torrents. The existing torrent sites are not as comprehensive, fast, well-equipped with many trackers, and as popular as btef, but they are there, and they are there to stay.
The problem is that the Daily Show on the Comedy Central site is streaming video. With my Paraguayan DSL internet (which only gives me 64k) I cannot watch streaming video. So downloading the torrent for some of us is the only option.
