p2pnet - rss feed: BitTorrent in the WhiteHouse?
p2p news / p2pnet: John Edwards, one of the democratic presidential candidates in 2004 is using BitTorrent to spread his campaign stuff.
Campaigns are pretty expensive, so sharing bandwidth is a good idea.
Edwards is likely to run for President again in 2008, so if you live in the USA, and you want a president that supports bittorrent, vote for Edwards.
The campaign movies on Edward’s torrent site aren’t really spectacular, but it’s good to see that he recognizes the power of sharing.
Edwards hosts his files at movedigital, a service that combines .torrent downloads with web-seeding. Movedigital acts as the main seed, but once there are enough seeds and peers around, the bandwidth bill drops.
Movedigital was formerly known as Prodigem.

Just because he (or rather, some tech-savy dude on his staff; *he* probably has no clue) uses BitTorrent for spreading his “free” propaganda doesn’t mean he supports the use of BitTorrent for exchanging files that are considered by most politicians (liberal, conservative - it doesn’t seem to matter) to be copyright violations or “piracy.”

just because he supports the use of bt is not a reason to vote for him. but if you want another religious nutcase in the white house, vote for him, bt or no bt.
and you don’t have to live in the USA in order to vote. there are mail-in ballots available through embassies and consulates, although it must be sent in (or postmarked) no later than a month before the election, and in that time a lot can change.
