i saw a documentary (or a speech/presentation, rather) awhile ago about bittorrent - dl'ed from bittorrent - about how the media companies were trying to destroy BT.
it was saying that they'd never be successful, and instead will eventually be forced to radically change their advertising methods (since ads are edited out - some other method will be necessary) and join BT...or die out.


oh and never in my life have i been to bittorrent.com before now. don't know why they chose that site, it's tiny and absolutely not popular with most BTers.

BT came extermely popular when they closed down the servers linking to www.suprnova.org as well as a few others, but that was one of the main torrent sites out there... it was all over the news, papers, internet, everything, everyone heard about it, espcially when they said it freed up so much traffic on the net, and then people found out how simply it was to use, and started to design their own clients, or started using them.

they cannot close bittorrent becuase of the protocol Bram Cohem? uses, albeit we know of the illegal use of BT, it was not originally designed for that, but the legal use of BT, is a god send!...
