Then find it. With your statics I want the names of the towns the statics were taken from.

Moving along to my problem so far with the "guns have other uses" arguement. That is now. Guns have been around for how long? In the beginning they were made to kill. Simple as that. It very soon moved from killing animals to people as war was constantly happening in those days...seems like it is now also though.

The point is file sharing programs do have their uses also regardless of why it was created. Bittorrent is great for companies to distribute their patches on. It gets everyone to share the downloading and uploading of the file. It takes bandwidth away from the company as they are not the one distrubting everything to everyone. What other uses have yet to be discovered as this is new technology but give it time. Things like Bittorrent are tons safer to use rather than things like Kazaa. So the technology is improving as are the uses. Maybe Microsoft will find a use for it to improve the speed at which a company can distribute software throughout their company.

I think the argument holds up well enough.
