A guy in my area is one of the ones being sued, and the first he heard about the suit is when the local paper called him to get his side of the story.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

Um, you know, that's kind of the point of this thread. People who have been using Bittorrent are the current targets of lawsuits. Coming into a thread where people are being sued for using Bittorrent isn't exactly one where you should be extolling its virtues for the "information needs to be free" movement.

Combined with the fact that BT is much easier to target users due to the fact that the major torrent sites are generally either open systems or far easier to get at.
