As to what gets the greater use for BT
Legit
or
Pirate
I really cant say as there are several ways to quantify that.
Total bandwith dedicated
Total download connections
etc..
A Linux distro can be 3GB in size.. Meaning ALOT of Bandwith is used...
Where Pirate apps can be 32MB to 4GB
Pirate TV 300-700MB
Pirate Movies as large as 4GB
So A bunch of legit downloaders could pull down Terrabytes more data with fewer connections than Pirate users or vice-versa
10 people downloading a pirate 32MB app would not come NEAR the ammount of bandwith used as 1 person pulling down a Linux Distro.
When the Lawyers start talking, remember that. Because they will hand-select the figure that meets their needs.
Its like the figures on Gun use. Some groups use the number of Fatalities in gun-crime, some use the number of shootings, some use the number of crimes averted by guns, and some create statistical filters beyond the comprehension of Steven Hawkins
