Through blockchain.info, which is also the perfect tool for law enforcers to track possibly fraudulent money transactions, so they can't do without it. > You need to challenge people who are abusing laws, because that's how you actually make a change in this arena. Why choose? We can do both. EFF has expanded in parallel to TOR development. That's nothing uncommon. Plus, it's a huge argument for political groups to be able to say : "we can fight this through technical tools that we already have, but we want to find a peaceful solution with you". You don't negotiate when you can't achieve anything the other side doesn't want. > Who distributes their own content via BitTorrent? There's at least Blizzard that I noticed, I suppose others as well. The thing is that they don't advertise it - why would they? It's an implementation detail (built in their client). But I think of bittorrent legacy as way more than that. I'm not sure we would have had Spotify and Netflix without it. Sure, there are DRM, now. But music and movies are now affordable. Everybody wins, which is the desired end result. Regarding ads, how could everybody win? There's one thing people made clear : they hate ads. So instead of fighting adblockers, ad industry should find a way to allow people to discover products without annoying them. For now, some prefer to fight adblockers with legal tools. We're entitled to answer with means just as aggressive, while still maintaining discussion channels with opposite side. |
