Who says BitTorrent is illegal?
Monday, 7 July 2008
Most people react negatively when the term “BitTorrent” is brought up in a conversation. It’s true that most BitTorrent activity on the internet is illegal but it can also be used legally.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) communications protocol. BitTorrent is a method of distributing large amounts of data widely without the original distributor incurring the entire costs of hardware, hosting, and bandwidth resources. Instead, when data is distributed using the BitTorrent protocol, each recipient supplies pieces of the data to newer recipients, reducing the cost and burden on any given individual source, providing redundancy against system problems, and reducing dependence on the original distributor.
