Bittorrent use

<p>Is Bittorrent even allowed to be used in the Residence Halls? I'm sort of confused..</p>

<p>I think so.</p>

<p>No. 10 char.</p>

<p>Does it depend on what file is being downloaded?</p>

<p>Yes, you are allowed to use BitTorrent legally. You just can’t use it to download files that may cause copyright infringement.</p>

<p>I torrent Linux distros and have yet to receive any warnings or fines.</p>

<p>Bittorrent is not inherently illegal, but the technology has been adapted to downloading copyright infringing files, so that’s why people generally say torrents are illegal. There isn’t much to torrent legally in comparison to the pirated material available.</p>

<p>Yes. Illegal downloading is not… assuming they catch you. <em>wink</em></p>
