RIAA Says DRM is Dead

Innuendo:
That doesn't really change anything - if your torrent client isn't sending data, it will be downprioritized by it's peers, leech client or not.

No, it changes everything. Leech clients makes it appear to the tracker that you are either seeding when you are not or makes it look like you haven't received any parts of the files when you actually have. Either way, your downloads are not down-prioritized at all.

There are lots of devious tricks available to get around the ratios and quotas.

f0dder:
Doesn't matter what you say to the tracker, it's the peers that up/down-prioritize the speed they give you. And if you want to fool a tracker on a ratio site, you're playing with fire - unless you're being very, very subtle you will get caught on any of the interesting sites.
