How can anyone say this doesn't change things?
When DHT makes it big and is implemented all over the place, the MPAA will not be able to cause the shut down of sites like LokiTorrent, BTEFnet, TVTorrents, ShunTV, or any other tracker of movies/TV.
That's a big difference and it's positive.
But the negative side is they may just begin suing not only uploaders, but anyone who seeds a whole copy of the file or maybe even anyone who downloads.
And if you download movies and TV through BitTorrent, and on this web site, I bet more than 70% do, that's not very nice.
But even then, you have to believe the MPAA already had plans to sue American downloaders, whether trackerless BitTorrent was gonna happen or not.
But now they can't shut down your favorite place for TV shows. People could just share the torrents on Limewire, Ares or whatever P2P network, and then launch their BitTorrent client.
