Valve Swipes Bittorrent creator!

[ComradeBadger]

Shacknews reports Valve Software has snapped up the author of BitTorrent a few months ago to join their team. This is sure to add fuel to the peer-to-peer rumours circulating about the future of Valve’s content delivery software, Steam.

You can read more of this in the original article at nytimes.

That's like saying they shouldn't use CD's or DVD's because people are able to spread illegal games using those mediums. If you haven't noticed, BitTorrent's popularity is currently rising, and it's being used for hosting popular game demos, linux distros and similar legal downloads

Edit: Okay, I read your post again, and I might have misunderstood what you meant, sorry 'bout that if I did
