  Weekend Political Stuff Remix

I've added a screenshot to the site of Torrentocracy being used to join the bit torrent of the Induce Act proceedings. If it wasn't ironic enough before to relish in blog entries of people using p2p to download video of anti-p2p Senate hearings, now we've got pictures too. Someone once told me those are worth more words.

Forget politics for your ipod, what about politics for your television? With the pithy convention coverage and rushed speeches of the last week, let's not forget that "gadget" that's just somewhat more ubiquitous than those white earbuds. Sure, its content has always been as locked in as the ipod, but until they pass the Induce Act, television doesn't really have to be that way. Perhaps it's time for those who are part of the larger blogging enterprises (weblogs inc, gawker) to jump on this confluence of Bit Torrent and RSS before it's too late. By doing this, not only could they actually reach the next rung of media delivery services, but it would show quite the "potential for a substantial noninfringing use." Though, the picture below does quite the job of this already...

  Added a Torrents page

I've added a Torrents section to the site for easy tracking of the torrents I'll be hosting. I'll fix up the formatting and make it a bit more useful in a bit.
