Point taken but that's hardly BT's fault. If you're downloading something
illegal that's your (or your friendly admin's) problem. ;-)

So if someone sends illegal software via the post, you would advocate
shutting down the complete postal network?

Good idea, you had such a poor argument anyway.
Anyone hear any news on ETCC Evolution?

Ouch, that hurts. A random insult from a namless, faceless coward...
Once again, since comprehension seems to be your weak point:
BitTorrent doesn't allow people to disable sharing. Therefore if people use it
to download copyrighted stuff, the run the risk of being nailed by a copyright
holder or representative. I get hundreds of DMCA complaints about our students
every year. Therefore, it directly affects my daily workload. I tell the
affected students to uninstall BitTorrent. You don't like that, I really don't
GIVE a ***. You can take your lame comment, turn it sideways, and shove it up
your candy-ass...

LOL! Ok, we'll all uninstall bit-torrent because you don't like it and it
affects YOUR life :)
(Im just joking so dont get them panties wadded up, hehe).
Seriously though Eldred you chimed in and some of us disagreed. No sense
getting upset about it. To each his own. I like BT and you don't, in the
big scheme does it really matter in the least? I personally don't think so.
Just wait till GTR hits the "shelves" and none of us can get it for X number
of days as the few free servers that are available get hammered. Bitorrent
can legally and easily handle the heavy load and we can all benefit with
quicker downloads. How does this relate to illegal downloading on some
college campus? This is the same logic that gun control lobbyists use to
take away our guns. What comes next?

Since my mom has been in the hospital, I find I have a lot less tolerance for
***s like pig-face. Apologies to the group, except him.
But my reasoning for originally trying to end this discussion is this. I'm not
going to change your mind, and you're not going to change mine. I will
continue to tell students who get reported for DMCA to remove BitTorrent. And
I will do so with a clear conscience.
So sue me...<g>
