BitTorrent survived and even thrived in a hostile adversarial legal regime because it was possible to run nodes on consumer hardware and Internet connections.

If BitTorrent was a data center protocol, it would not be around today.

@Bonecondor Nice knowing you

The other question is why people who are ambitious for “status” go into medicine to begin with, presumably there are other fields that cater to that more directly. Did their parents force them to go to med school?
