Notice the weasel word "legal" rather than the clear "unless ordered by a court of law".

An easy way would be whether it's being used to pirate content or not.

You use that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

Is it legal to download an album/movie/videogame without paying for it?

say you’ve observed a bittorrent packet. tell me how you’re going to determine whether that packet is illegal.

Okay, clearly I didn't know as much as I thought I did about torrenting. I'd only heard of it being used to pirate content before.

Same here for Linux, and I also used it to download Open Office back before we had enough bandwidth to download thru a direct connection.

But I think Time Warner did something similar, our router would shut down & need to be rebooted every ~1 hour of torrenting. I hated that.

Unfortunately Hanlon + the large number of connections BT uses provides a great deal of plausible deniability to them...
