He didn't get into the specific restrictions - which probably vary according to content owner anyway - but he made it clear that although he personally thinks DRM is a bad idea, the vast majority of content owners require it before allowing their content to be shared. Its really a pity too, I'm sure many people (myself included) would be willing to pay for an unprotected digital copy of works we enjoy, but when you add DRM on top of that, it simply pushes people away in hordes. And to choose legal or illegal content is simply a matter of typing in one website or another. I don’t think he dodged the DRM questions.

Whenever I start a popular download through my DSL line, I receive what amounts to a denial of service attack from lots of other clients attempting to connect. Makes BitTorrent basically unusable, unless I want to walk away from my computer until the download is finished. The BitTorrent protocol needs one more feature.

BitTorrent.inc needed C source code for a good torrent program for chips that will download stuff via BitTorrent.
