The threat of bittorent that is......the RIAA and MPAA focus so much time and energy on this crap, i wonder what the return is?? remember when they had parents scared and provided a tool to help parents identify media that may have been pirtaed on a hard-drive?? The tool detected EVERYTHING that was media as potentially pirated.
For those of you that use BT the list of about 30 fake trackers is already posted on your favorite forums and has been for a few days, sites are already filtering them out and if the admins at mininova arent capable of making a filter to keep these trackers off their site, there will be those that do.
The BT community isnt tech ignorant as was the case of kazaa, and all this will continue to be free publicity for BT:)
When touting the security advantages of their "new" OS (remember when it was longhorn) M$ not only wanted to validate software licenses but upgrades. And here was the catch....say you are using acrobat pro for your business and you decide to skip an upgrade and its detected in the "digital locker" it disables all the adobe documents on your puter and renders them useless until you upgrade.
When you mention piracy, M$ doesnt care, they just want to bilk coorporations and the digital locker crap is why many people i talk to are NOW willing to listen to advantages of foss........no one better promotes foss than M$
