BitTorrent Scaring Hollywood

According to research reports, BitTorrent is now 1/2 of file sharing P2P bandwidth. The software’s brilliance is it solves the bandwidth problem of downloading large files like movies. The more people that download the file, the faster everyone can get it as it makes every downloader into an uploading server. Bram Cohen wrote the program and is now getting legal action threats. He absolves himself of any liability as he just wrote the technology and has no control over what its used for.
