Sure, in the same way that BitTorrent can be used to download Linux ISOs :)

I pull in about two batches of 5-30 torrents every month or two for content I paid for on Humble Bundle.

People who use bittorrent legally do exist, or at least there's one of us.

There's tons of people who use BitTorrent legally. Some companies use it on their servers to keep them in sync.

It's an excellent way to download Linux (or BSD) ISOs. Much faster than the nearest HTTP mirrors.
