Bah... BitTorrent is a protocol, it cannot be illegal. It's how people use it what could be illegal. If people start putting copyrighted material on their FTP servers, will they say FTP is illegal? It's just a damned protocol 201.212.126.164 18:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

exactly, i mean, people use http, ftp, irc *checks list of protocols* and all other file transferring protocols to transfer copyrighted stuff, why not just BAN THE INTERNET... yeah, good luck... - Gunnar Guðvarðarson 18:59, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Trying not to go offtopic, apple didnt accept a BT remote to the app store, claiming it to be illegal, when they should have banned safari, since it can download illegal material by HTTP Ms.henrick (talk) 13:01, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is the "See Also" section blank for any particular reason? --142.227.9.1 (talk) 15:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I find the lack of discussion on this talk page somewhat suspicious. FU, RIAA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.23.29.238 (talk) 15:28, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted files can be legal to download if the owner of the copyright have given his permission for people to download his files for free — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.21.210.36 (talk) 21:30, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

because the paywall has just thrown me off for the month, so this might be worth lokking at http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2013/04/02/game-of-thrones-questions-everything-you-know-about-piracy/ David Woodward ☮ ♡♢☞☽ 16:16, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 4 external links on Legal issues with BitTorrent. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
