Not much of an issue, but illegal is spelled incorrectly in the title.

bittorrent and spelling have about as much in common as bittorrent and legality....so i guess it doesn't matter much...why all these laws against otherwise law-abiding americans, yet in canada, mexico, asia, the middle east, they are subject to none of these intellectual property laws, and we subsidize the WORLD's pharmaceutical industry....especially you cannucks....oh, well... like i said, guess it doesn't matter much... the hand-basket in hell awaits the US dollar....game over!
