BitTorrent on my mind
BitTorrent is a way of downloading and sharing files over the internet. It’s the name of both a file sharing protocol and a program that uses the protocol. Many, many people use BitTorrent to download copyrighted content, but about half the time I mention it to “a non-computer person” they don’t know what it is, hence this brief explanation. Also, a BitTorrent-related paper I coauthored just got accepted to WPES07. As such, I can officially claim to be a expert on this subject (fact: you should not believe this claim).
Despite it’s popularity (and my expert status), I don’t use BitTorrent very often. Usually when I want an album I buy it legally using iTunes. I don’t watch that many movies, and TV shows are widely available on television, so why download them. When I do download something on BitTorrent, I like to have some sort of legal/moral justification in mind.
Recently I downloaded the movie Sicko, since Michael Moore doesn’t seem to mind if you download his movies for free. I also downloaded the album Night Ripper by Girl Talk, since I screwed up the ordering process and bought it without requesting the download as well. Also, Night Ripper is jam-packed with unlicensed samples, so Girl Talk probably won’t complain if he finds out you stole his music. Finally, I’m downloading Good Copy Bad Copy right this moment. It’s a documentary on copyright, so the filmmakers have wisely decided to make it freely available using BitTorrent.
There you have it, three download recommendations from a BitTorrent expert.

It’s one thing to gain weight (not very healthy, in case you didn’t know). It’s another thing to put on a skimpy outfit with tons of cottage cheese hanging from your thighs and rear end as well as globs of fat hanging over your belt line. The fact that she dresses the way she does for a stage appearance with no considerat-ion for her figure makes her open to public ridicule.Tera gold
