First peer-to-peer infringer arrested

Bit Torrent (BT) is nothing new and I know the information structure (I just help the internal MIS and personnel department to gather information and a warning letter was given to an employee, because this guy used BT during office hour with office equipment/resources). There are a lots of debates about BT around but I don't have any interest or feeling on it. Anyway, a jobless Hong Konger was arrested today and he may become the first case of copyright ordinance violation in the world... will see..

  • Unfortunately, there's a vast misconception about BT. BT is more about performance improvements in file-transfers (protocols) rather than P2P file-sharing. It really isn't P2P (and so isn't Napster) as both needed a centralized tracker/database.

  • ah.. Yes, I understand the beauty of BT, but the cases above are referring to upload/download pirate movies in office and newsgroup respectively...
