And NiN for example did probably better to release on TPB where the party is going on. LegalTorrents makes a robust case however for the bittorrent protocol and the P2P idea. So even 70 year olds can try P2P.

Check out the Scene torrent which is the very last torrent. Its kinda stupid, but kind of dramatic and interesting at the same time…

This is a very good thing. No, it doesn’t really interest me all that much, but it’s good to have a site promoting the legal use of BitTorrent. Things like this make it harder for the RIAA and MPAA, not to mention ISPs like Comcast to claim that all BT traffic is illegal.

LegalTorrents Reopens as Community Driven Portal…

It is a bit of an awkward, and perhaps even a suggestive name, but LegalTorrents.com reopens today as a community driven BitTorrent site where users and publishers are able to share Creative Commons licensed content….
