Torrent: Everybody Does Illegal Things

Many of us have seen these warning labels:

This screen pretty much states that any duplication of this film is illegal. ILLEGAL! There are ways to get aroud that. There is an software called uTorrent. It allows people to ultimately download anything that they want. For those of you that may not know what torrent is, here is a little bit of information about it.

A torrent file is a computer file that contains metadata about files and folders to be distributed, and usually also a list of the network locations of trackers, which are computers that help participants in the system find each other and form efficient distribution groups called swarms.[1] A torrent file does not contain the content to be distributed; it only contains information about those files, such as their names, sizes, folder structure, and cryptographic hash values for verifying file integrity. Depending on context, a torrent may be the torrent file or the referenced content.

I personally do not torrent anything, but I feel that it shouldn't be illegal if you already own a copy of whatever you want to Torrent. For example, if you have a dvd copy of the movie and you want to have a digital copy of the film, I feel that it is fine that you torrent a version of it.

Just thought this is information that you should know!
