First of all it's "programs".
Secondly, what does shareware have to do with peer to peer?

Shareware? Copyrighted software that is available for personal use for a small fee, and often downloadable from the Internet? Shareware is like a free-trial of Norton antivirus...They are going to ban that?

You cant ban BitTorent clients, they arent illegal. All clients do is download what a user tells them too, clients dont even search networks. They are just a tool for downloading a file. Not to mention its impossible to stop bitTorrent, there is no central server.

Besides, if it was illegall to be downloading copyrighted material from torrents, do you think they would care wether a plugin to share downloads was illegall too?

PS: Azureus is the sucks. uTorrent is the rocks.

One of the main reasons bittorrent wasn't shut down a long with some p2p networks is that it is also used quite a lot to download large open source programs, completely legally. I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, but I can remember seeing them from before i even knew what bittorrent was

yeah and because IT ISNT POSSIBLE TO SHUT DOWN BITTORRENT

1) snap, they closed bittorrent.com!!!now i'll have to use another client!!!
2) oh shit, they closed my favourite tracker!!!now i'll have to go look for another!!

Already in france the government is bringing forth the "DADVSI bill which has the aim of making criminal counterfeiting out of publication, distribution and promotion of all software susceptible to being used to open up data protected by author's right and not integrating a method of controlling and tracking private usage (technical measure). All software permitting downloads is concerned, such as certain instant messaging software (chat) and all server software (P2P, HTTP, FTP, SSH)"

First of all, what does shareware have to do with anything, second, that will never go through, third, if you're doing something illegal anyway, why stop because it's more illegal?

by the way, you forgot tcp, udp, irc, dcc, icmp, msnp, aimp, jabber, oh and what was that last one... right, internet.
