There is no such a concept as "BitTorrent Pirate".

Where do you get these?




It refers to someone who pirates media or software using bittorrent.


What I meant is that one can't pirate media or software. Call it copying or sharing without permission of an original author, but that has nothing to do with piracy, theft, murder, etc...


Its a long accepted colloquialism. It also doesn't help that a lot of torrent sites openly embrace pirate crap as cutesy. I guess no one likes saying copyright infringement.


So you mean nothing at all?
