    So now you want people to hate BitTorrent cause someone used it that works with Elon? God this does make Democrats look looney. I really wish people would stop taking the bait.

      Nowhere in the article does it say anything like that. It’s pretty straight forward reporting - the guy ran some websites and distributed pirated books and software, and hacked a few websites. No judgements are passed, it’s just factual information.

        I wasn’t referring to you specifically… I was referring to the journalist that wrote this crap. It is pointless. There are actual character flaws like participating in dismantling the government & ignoring the constitution.

      I don’t see any mention of torrents in the article?

        I said torrent because it is common to download & share content. My point was that I really don’t fucking care if some pirates content. It doesn’t influence how I judge them as a person.
