Spain outlaws ALL p2p file sharing.

<< < (2/2)

It's all good, they'll just keep making new protocols :D

app103:
or isp's could block all...except what they approve

then you'd need to do some http tunneling to get past it

That makes me remember those poor people at china. I don't think that's gonna happen on "free" countries.
Yet, i think you have a good point. Even though bitorrent technology is mostly used for piracy reasons, it's perfect for releasing linux distros and such, as the more people want it, the better the download is, something that cannot happen with http download.

Rover:
Hmm... did they outlaw usenet (news) as well?

Seems to me, the law will always be behind the technology.  Tunneling, new protocols, etc.  We've got more tricks than they do. :)

Well then, World Of Warcraft would be illegal in spain - it uses the bittorrent protocol for distributing updates :)
