Yeah true…but I am not making cash off of their product…I am just sharing it with the intetion that my other peers need a backup as well. Whatever they do with it is up to them.

Good point… but don’t torrent’s work by getting peices of a certain file from various “seeds” to make one complete file? So I, nor anyone else ever gives a full file to one user, as opposed to a p2p like Kazaa or gluz where you direcly connect to one user for a file? In a way you really are never handing out a free COMPLETE backup. Or am I misunderstanding something here?
