I can't understand that, isn't peer to peer inherently more resistant to law enforcement than any centralized FTP server?



From my understanding, the scene is about being part of a club, belonging, and part of this is contributing back.

Torrenting is just getting movies, without these social aspects, and without being part of the "elite".
