The company I work for is one of them.

If things like BitTorrent are ok, then Skype must be ok, so why would anybody buy Akonix’s stuff?

that is a good idea, and hopefully some can figure out a way to do it. but right now tell a sys admin “torrent” and they start to freak out

Or, thinking externally, imagine the cost savings for businesses who served torrents on their corporate/product/service site as oppossed to the actual video content or free download of their software.

Om muses aloud about the impact of Star Wars Episode 3 torrents clogging up corporate networks. As opposed to, say, all the other high-productive Flash and/or cat-related items that get passed about on any other Friday?…

Often times there’s near dvd quality releases before the opening night of the movie.

I dunno why everyone is making such a big deal out of Star Wars III being on the bittorrent networks already. It’s like this for every movie. I’d guess more than a few thousand have downloaded it already. I’d put the number more around a few hundred thousand, just based on the numbers I’ve seen.
