Im Gegensatz zu diesen, war es bei BitTorrent nicht usus, parallel zum eigenen Download auch Dateien zum Upload anzubieten.

Most people who download content either don't have or wouldn't spend the money on it in the first place. Therefore, it's not a lost sale. The point that the MPAA/RIAA don’t want to admit is:

He did break the law. I do, however, feel that a five year incarceration is probably beyond overkill. Imagine 3 individuals who raped a 12 year old girl getting a 6 1/2 year sentences... Something doesn't add up here. To play the devil’s advocate here… He did break the law. I do, however, feel that a five year incarceration is probably beyond overkill.
