Bittorrent admin convicted by federal jury
posted Jun 28th 2008 3:20am by Eliot Phillipsfiled under: news
[Daniel Dove], administrator of the site EliteTorrents.org, has been convicted of conspiracy and felony copyright infringement. Running a bittorrent tracker isn’t in itself illegal, but [Dove] apparently recruited seeders and distributed the initial illegal copies to them from his own server. From the press release, it seems the Justice Department is quite tickled with finally getting a conviction in a P2P case after a jury trial.

Even though I pay for all of my music and movies by choice, this just comes off as stupid to me.
