Happy 10th birthday to Bit Torrent.
In 10 years, the technology has come into all kinds of interesting uses, legal and otherwise, eliminated the idea that any central authority can make content unavailable, and given inertia to the social understanding that replication cost for digital media is asymptotically close to zero, despite legal posturing to the contrary.

It’s my belief that history is a wheel. “Inconsistency is my very essence” -says the wheel- “Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don’t complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away”.
