I've downloaded as many as 50 files over BitTorrent, it doesn't make me a pirate.

As far as the feds are considered, if you are a private citizen and own a computer, you are a software pirate.
We're ALL criminals to the tyranny.
By the way, BitTorrent is a download program with no frontend GUI, nor search program, therefore it is not a peer-to-peer program.

Depends on what the files were, doesn't it? If they were photos from your G-ma you are OK.

I've downloaded as many as 50 GIGS using BitTorrent. It doesn't make me a pirate, either.

"I've downloaded as many as 50 files over BitTorrent, it doesn't make me a pirate."
If I understand that correctly, you are referring to files that are free or paid for.
...haven't used bittorent, yet (CVS and the like instead, so far). But everything on my machines is free (no proprietary or for-sale copyrights), and all of the free libraries I use for development practice are also alright for commercial, closed code use when the time comes.
But then I'm an old nerd who doesn't watch the latest movies or listen to the latest music. Radio and used tapes/CDs from shops and yard sales for a couple of hours on some weekends is enough.
