uTorrent developer Signs deal with Peerfactor

Last year Peerfactor caused quite some controversy in France when their anti-p2p project was launched. Their idea: pay P2P users to distribute fakes that redirect downloaders to legal web sites.
There are not much details on the current project but it doesn’t seem to be related to Peerfactor’s anti-piracy projects.

Incoming µTorrent Stings!
Oh noes ! is this a conspiracy?
I’ve been wary of µTorrent ever since it came on the scene, something about it just doesn’t seem right.Like that time when their homepage redirected you to the FBI website, or the fact that I get masses of Peerguardian hits from China when I fire it up, its pentagon shaped logo, or its suspiciously well designed website. This for me just adds fuel to the fire.
“its suspiciously well designed website”
I’ll take that as a compliment :)
Do read the comments posted on Slyck before you jump to any conclusions, thanks.

TO ALL DOWNLOADERS….!!!!
I am a debut artist who’s just recorded one of the most expensive debut albums in recent history.
We have just released my debut album as a FREE HQ Mp3 download.
It was a tough decision for us to make because of the vast amounts spent on the album. We had two of the biggest record producers in the world work on it…. at Peter Gabriel’s Realworld studio and at Abbey Road studio in london.
Despite all that, we recognise the massive potential the internet and free albums in particular offers. We launched last friday and have already had 1000’s of DL’s all over the world.
Come over and download for FREE.. it takes 2 minutes to DL because we have a dedicated server.

i use utorrent - but the thing that catches me is that its such a good torrent program - there has to be a catch to this - i dont bother upgrading since it does fine already i stick to 1.6
i dont think utorrent could be anything related to antipiracy… or atleast you cant get into trouble from it if it is.. wouldnt it be like entrapment.. or aiding and abedding a criminal?
