I think this will draw too much attention because of the money exchage. The lawyers will be sicced on this no matter if it's legal or not. Nothing like a good lawsuit to bog everything down.

2. This site seems to be trying to leverage the "fair use privilege" to make a video Napster, but it ain't gonna fly. Mass distribution is not a subset of personal use. This site has blatantly crossed the line.

Analyzing the TCP/IP traffic clearly showed it was using the bittorrent protocol. (Including the fact that your pc is also uploading to a bunch of people ...)
Clever guy, though, earning some money with such a simple trick !

Maybe if I'm REALLY busy and can't spare the 2 minutes to pick up the torrent myself, they can have my 20 cents. (But then again, if I'm that busy, how on earth am I going to find the time to watch the show ! )]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AM
