Think what I said makes sense in a roundabout way, simply that the authorities would be far more interested in someone like yourself who uploads a fair bit than someone who is downloading bits here and there.
Yeah, it's me. lol. The pic's a long story. And it's not particularly interesting either. I won't bore ya.

why would the authorities be interested in me? Is the bittorrent protocol illegal itself?

You know i use BT because i told you i did. You don't know what i use it for. Don't go flinging accusations.

You'd think, mind you, that authorities have bigger and more important fish to fry.

If, for example, i were to download and watch a film that isn't/won't be available here, who's losing money?

Or if i was to download and watch a TV show i'd missed, where's the harm?

Instead of criminalising people who've done nothing wrong morally, the authorities could spend more time making sure real criminals don't get off on technicalities.
