BitTorrent 2.0

Have you seen these signs around town?

If so, you probably live in either New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. These seemingly depressing billboards are a marketing tool for BitTorrent who recently made corrections.

Contrary to public belief, Torrenting is just a way to send data, which is not illegal. In fact, BitTorrent has been hard at work, working to prove that BitTorrent is not illegal and does not automatically mean piracy, by creating BitTorrent Bundles, which is a "media store by the people, for the people" where you can direct access to content from artists. 

The signs are a great marketing tool, especially since having these signs out in public may help people understand that BitTorrent is not illegal.
