Hosting Company Shuts Down Legitimate BitTorrent
Well, it seems that the efforts by the copyright industry to vilify BitTorrent have had some success. Elmwood Strip was attempting to use BitTorrent as a better way to host homemade videos that they had had online since 2001. Unfortunately, their hosting company, 1and1, disabled BitTorrent and told them to knock off the copyright infringement (Cease and Desist!). Elmwood wrote them back:
Um, I made that movie. It's mine and I am trying to use Broadcast Machine to host my video files. This is not a copyright infringement at all. I've been hosting it on GamesFirst! (also my website) since we made it in 2001. Please cease and desist these silly letters and allow people to access my legitimate and completely legal personal creations.
