Isn't it funny how the general public equates "file sharing" to piracy. This simply isn't true. If you consider what the major ISP's have been practicing with their bandwidth shaping and packet dropping, you are paying a lot of money for bandwidth that has some serious restrictions on it.

The truth is, file sharing, torrents and other PTP networks is the only way that many organizations can reasonable expect to have their work distributed. Take, for instance, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) who started distribution of their own programming on the internet via bit torrent. CBC is publicly funded and I have every right to access those programs, yet Rogers chooses to drop those packets.

Rogers, I hope the CRTC sues the pants off you.
