What would the government rather do? Fight cyber terrorism or see if Joe Shmoe torrent the latest movie/music?
Torrenting is 100% legal, and I'm pretty sure someone in Canada can download the latest Linux torrent... maybe I'm wrong though. It's a problem with the people using the torrents, not the torrents themselves.
