Going to be interesting times, in a bad way. Everyone knows now in the US the newly appointed FCC chairman is going to be Brendan Carr, who is against the idea of Net Neutrality so we expect that to go away again similarly to how Ajit Pai got rid of it when he was around.
Should anyone be worried about what this guy can do? Will he carry on the fight for entertainment industry’s interests?
Less that the meme is older than them, probably more so they don’t realize why we torrent Linux iso’s.
I can pull down an ISO in seconds over torrent, whole it takes minutes over https. Also it’s nice to add some of the good stuff to the traffic, if only to pad all the illegal traffic with some legitimate stuff.
Torrents are always better because they don’t cost the open source projects anything to host. Direct downloads are expensive relatively speaking for server bandwidth/cdn costs, while torrents can be distributed by the community.
Excellent point! Yet another reason why Linux isos should always be torrented!
