Cops crash invite-only BitTorrent network

poor source

TorrentFreak has a better article on this incident. It should be noted that the UK does not care if friends are sharing music via the internet.

The copyright infringement doesn't seem to be the primary reason the UK arrested these guys and instead is because the media itself was illegally released.

sharing BT wifi

I enjoy being right about poor security. All the talk about encryption doesn't really matter. Download a copy of BackTrack from exploit.org and with some intelligence/time you can break WPA. Not very surprising that a week or so after BT decides to 'share' your wifi there is a leak about a backdoor. Surprise, surprise.
