A bit of BitTorrent bother
From BBC NEWS: A bit of BitTorrent bother
“Newsnight’s resident ubergeek,” Adam Livingstone, answers complaints about the February 24th show, where it was suggested using Bittorrent to download copyrighted material is theft. This public response is amazingly accurate; for example, “First though, an apology. File sharing is not theft. It has never been theft. Anyone who says it is theft is wrong and has unthinkingly absorbed too many Recording Industry Association of America press releases.” And, “If copyright infringement was theft then I’d be in jail every time I accidentally used football pix on Newsnight without putting ‘Pictures from Sky Sport’ in the top left corner of the screen. And I’m not.”
