That's a huge blow for BT. I hope we'll bounce back.

...or a new filesharing method will emerge, you never know.

I didn't mean it would die. I simply meant that another filesharing method would become more popular.

Meh the unaware kiddies will still use BT, most will probably start getting their sources from FTP's or Usenet.

Maybe they'll stop using the Internet and share their releases through hard copy?

Haha that happens in countries where internet access is such a luxury. For example in central america you can go anywhere and get a copy of the latest movies for DVD or you can pick up your favorite music. Music CDs are $1 and DVD Movies are $1.5. And there is no anti piracy organization shutting them down there. It's all done freely there.

Well they've got "content distribution" which is a way of saying:...


We don't make pirated material accessible to individuals and nor do we condone it.

An example of which is our 'content distribution' feature of which we help seed legitimate torrents :happy:
