I am surprised this has not been reviewed here on sitejabber before. I see so many spam sites for illegal downloads of tv shows and movies and yet nobody has reviewed the legal yet controversial bittorent website. It is true that copyright infringement using bittorrents and downloading hollywood movies is against the law but bittorent as a company is very legal as they just provide the software to do so. It is the trackers that are the target of law enforcement. In case you haven't guessed so far, people tend to use bittorrent as a way of obtain copyright movies, software and pretty much everything. For a more complete description of how it may be illegal to use bittorrent read this
