@pcboy:
Of course I know how torrents work. And when the hell did I say that “torrents are always a way to get pirated stuff over the internet”? The stats are up there, what you fail to realize is that this country will hardly if ever use torrents for less-than-noble uses. Don’t try to sugar coat it, and don’t be surprised if they pass France soon. The creator of Bit Torrent had a great idea, but like many ideas, they are used differently despite taking advantage of it’s intended purpose.

And that’s the sad fact about torrenting, if you want to change this country, make all ISP’s like Globe Tattoo Prepaid: block off torrents by severely limiting the connection limits, then we’ll see how many people use torrents.

I hate it when you don’t do arguments statistically. So eat “Bobo ka”‘s user name.

Seconded Vincent’s speech. Although marami nang paraan, like applying for E-On sa Union Bank. Saka nag sisimula nang i integrate ang visa sa mga debit cards. So there’s a way na affordable than CC. Pero kung libre naman makukuha, bakit ka pa magbabayad.

Saka another point din, is availability. Swerte na yung mga sikat na shows like CSI and such ay na iiari dito. Pero meron din mga hindi talaga available, like Anime shows na hindi talaga puwede for Public consumption (Not Hentai mind you) na hindi talaga kukunin ng mga networks. So yeah, torrents are the next easiest way to go.

It’s obvious that you guys don’t know the real purpose of torrents together on how they work.

@Bobo Ka
Eat your own username. Only geeks and people with high knowledge regarding to computing download Ubuntu. It’s obvious that your saying that because you don’t even know what does the “sudo” command in ubuntu means. You’re such a substandard sub-specie of human and you deserve to be killed.

I hate when people use this Ubuntu argument all the time when it comes to defending torrents. You really think 8 million people here will download Ubuntu over a TV show or movie rip?

The thing is Chinese use proxy addresses to download contents usually blocked by network firewalls, so they should be around the top most in download count (the download count here instead goes to the proxy server wherever it is located) and not to mention the fact that you could buy almost any software or media at a meager price around the corner
