it's a nice site, but the true test of a torrent site is how well it deals with legal harassment. in this regard, TPB has done very, very well. lesser sites will do stupid things like "comply" and "shut down". let's hope that doesn't happen with youtorrent.

No, torrenting is one of the best distribution methods around- Linux Distro's are torrented more than downloaded via HTTP or FTP. It's just the convenience of putting files up on the web for download (copyrighted stuff like PhotoShop, AutoCAD, etc. with cracks) that gives the word "torrent" such a bad rap.

well said, burn. torrents in themselves aren't illegal (though some people would like to think so), but as with many things, you can do illegal things with them.

the same could be said for:
  • cars
  • guns
  • flatware
and so on.
