Occasions in which computer software was used to infringe copyright
Aside from the bad article title, the question of what does and doesn't go on this list is entirely subjective. DS 13:31, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. As presently stands the article displays apparent POV against BitTorrent, while the subject matter based upon the title could lead to a potentially endless and unmaintainable (not to mention subjective) list. 23skidoo 14:03, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unnattainable. Dunc|&#9786; 14:11, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename, or at least, keep stuff like this off the BitTorrent page. This text was previously in BitTorrent, and I created this page as a way to separate the discussion of what people did with the tool, from the software itself. The BitTorrent article is getting very long, and listing every instance in which someone used it illegally is probably a distraction there. Ojw 14:35, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unmaintainable. Pavel Vozenilek 16:05, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't even understand the point of keeping anything.  Perhaps, what would be more encyclopedic would be something like Filesharing litigation. Mmmbeer 16:48, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Be bold in establishing a reasonable perspective on illegal use in the (excellent) BitTorrent article. That may mean deleting material, rather than starting a new article. William Avery 16:54, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unmaintainable, and just plain stupid.  It's happened literally millions of times.   ral  315  21:30, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Attempting to provide a list of occasions in which computer software was used to infringe copyright is rather like adding the White Pages to Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. &mdash;Simetrical (talk) 07:04, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
