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 are not really spectacular, but it is 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 is formerly known as Prodigem.

Uh, the update says that he opposes net neutrality, but that wouldnt be “flirting with the tech crowd” being opposed to the bill that threatens it and being in favor of net neutrality however would (i assume its just a typo)
