Camcorder and Bit Torrent question


1 - Just saw a news item on the main page that Bit Torrent is now legal. Is EVERYTHING on the service now a legal download? Never used it before, but if it's DRM free, and quality is good, I may give it a shot.

2 - I just hooked up my camcorder to my 20" Widescreen monitor., and the picture was horribly blurry. It was bought in a hurry, and serves it's purpose well, but I was thinking of getting a Hard drive based recorder with better resolution than 800X600. Holding this disc based camcorder after a while is annoying, because the side where you put the disc on obviously gets hot after a while of recording..

Any recommendations? Obviously 1080p camcorders aren't in the $500 price range

The makers of the original Bittorent protocol/program have a new legal service. Other sites & services using the bittorent protocol are in no way legal because of this new service - they have the same legal status they had before.



high resolution ipod featuring dlp hd programming is the best, almost as good as playstation 2 with wega windows media on a super cd! ps2 and tivo do dolby tv with broadband hdtv!

Bittorrent has never been illegal. However, if used to transfer files that are copyrighted without having the right to transfer said files it may or may not be illegal, depending on where in the world you live.

In the US, of course, they now have the death penalty for even thinking about copyright violation.

Oops, no wait, they haven't passed that law yet, my bad. I'm sure it is coming though.
