If they didn’t take so long to show good TV programs people wouldn’t need to download them. It’s another example of P2P helping the community when their content suppliers let them down.

Speck is an idiot if this ZDNet quote is correct:

“Speck told ZDNet Australia the unit’s investigations revealed that the Torrent Web servers hosted a “database of music video files which can be very quickly downloaded,” provided the user has BitTorrent software or software following (sic)
a protocol equivalent to BitTorrent.”

Torrent websites do not host the files, they host links to trackers which themselves link to the files.
