hello spiral Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I don't actually know. I assumed that technically it was. I work in a prison and if CDrs are sent in to prisoners, they're destroyed because of their apparent illegality. I was interested in the reason why Oscillik claims torrents aren't illegal. Is there a loophole? Or are you just talking about torrents in isolation, not of copyrighted material?

Guest isaki Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) a torrent is just a method of downloading, it's its content which determines its legality for instance, linux distros are usually distributed via torrents because of their considerably faster speeds - that's also why they popular among "pirates" Edited May 6, 2013 by isaki Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/78720-have-you-been-caught-torrenting/page/4/#findComment-1999385 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) think i might be, as my up and down speeds have been drastically decreased starting last weekend.. only max out at about 25Kbps, and its not even consistent. i don't pull anything from public trackers, so i'm wondering if comcast has wised up.. odd though, because it's only through torrents.. direct downloads are fast as they ever were.
