Will BT die ?

They need to realize they're dealing with a collective of citizens, not an organized crime ring.

Right, and look at how effective the war on drugs has been. A government can't faction itself against its citizens, and a commercial industry can't faction itself against the consumer. It won't work, especially not with the internet.

Oh so you now agree that bittorrent trackers are organized crime rings?

10 years may be a farce.

With major ISPs such as AT&T and Comcast already throttling or eliminating the use of bittorrent on their lines altogether, it would seem that the bittorrent ship will sail sooner than many people had originally thought.

I'd wager that in 5 years, most countries service providers will have eliminated it almost completely.

Believing that bittorrent will still be in widespread use in 20 years is just silly.

Ya...i totally agree!

Even 5 years is too much thinking now that trackers like Oink and Demonoid is gone.

This thread makes me sad. Do you have any idea how poor I'll be if I, one day, have to pay for all the magical goodness I get off torrent sites?

Do you earnestly believe that bittorrent is the only (or even best) method of file sharing?

I have one word for you - Usenet.

why would I use bt if I can use usenet, it's not free everywhere.. let's say it's free in your case - not in my case

I haven't read the whole thread

I believe ISPs are overjoyed by BitTorrent users that wil gladly pay 5 times the amount for a faster line. They are just afraid to show it... ad then there are companies like Comcast that take advantage of it and that way save money on linerental.

Think about this in a regular business sense. Wouldn't you like it if a large part of your costumers bought 5 of each instead of 1?

As for BitTorrent survival, I would guess that in 5 years it's obsolete and replaced by other methods. Maybe built on the principal but it won't be BitTorrent as we know it today.

The same Comcast that was caught aggressively throttling BT traffic? They seem overjoyed.

Exactly what I was referring to, so ???????
