Pirate Bay to abandon .torrent files for magnet links. This just goes to show that the more you try to limit access to information, the more defenses get built to protect it. Now instead of needing a server, it can be run on a usb stick. Looks like free files will always have a future. Should we pay for things we find useful? Yes, and I do. It is also true that many people cannot pay things. In the US we currently have 50 million people in poverty. Does that mean we condemn them to a questionable existence?
