Respect da P2P

Paul Glazowski has a great article over at Mashable on how attempts to suspend BitTorrent trackers in an effort to counter file sharing are only the last gasp of a myopic old media.

For more on all things file sharing and the emergence of compelling business models in this space, please do check out TorrentFreak.

‘So it bears repeating, even if it entails beating the dead horse deader still, that action against users of BitTorrent is not any way to make progress in the media distribution industry. Instead, employing the protocol to try to play the game better than the non-legal crowd is the way make a qualitative, and thus quantitative impact. Otherwise the market will go nowhere.’
