What is Bittorrent?
1.
A file-sharing program in which you upload what you have to other users while simultaneously downloading from them. The more people downloading that movie, the faster it goes.
I downloaded The Hulk from Bittorrent a week before it was out in the theaters. Somehow, this is not illegal, and no one is at fault. Serves the theaters right for raising ticket prices to $8.

Gary Fung, creator of isoHunt website wrote, "Legally, BitTorrent requires simultaneous upload in order to download. So the concept of "file sharer" on BitTorrent is blurred. Technically, everyone is a sharer, it's a requirement in order to download. So its openness is an unintentional strength. No anonymizing system is completely crack-proof anyways, just like DRM, so poor privacy isn't much of a weakness. Strength in numbers, and security by obscurity."
Unlike what other people have said, because bittorrent involves the sharing between every bittorrent user, this system is more safe because there are no main uploaders who will be targeted. If the RIAA or MPAA would sue a person, it would have to be at complete random. Like Gary Fung said up there, we have ,"strength in numbers, and security by obscurity.

BitTorrent is a popular file sharing program. It is most commonly used for large file downloads, such as movies and operating systems.
BitTorrent is also one of the most dangerous file sharing programs out there. With any download, you will recieve a small text file with the words "tracked by (webpage, eg: demonoid)". That webpage keeps a list of users IP addresses so other users can connect to them. This list of IPs is easily easily accessible to orginazations like the MPAA or the RIAA. In fact, nearly everyone who downloaded the partial source code for Microsofts' Windows platform recieved a letter from Microsoft.
Hey man, the MPAA busted my ass on BitTorrent!!!
