Wonder what the world and history will say about the bittorrent protocol someday though. What a wonderful thing, and yet it's so easy to vilify the protocol as a vehicle for piracy, which isn't exactly fair.

I think it's going to end up in the same situation, or verty similar situation, to firearms since they have the same combination of being extremely useful tools for some situations yet with a massive potential for abuse. Perhaps the pro-BitTorrent mantra could draw on that too: "BitTorrent doesn't infringe copyright, people do".
