Your ISP CEO seems a little confused here. That is a Debian mirror. Debian ISO images can be downloaded from many mirrors, although I don't see them available on this particular one. Debian ISO images can also be downloaded using BitTorrent. Of course, the fact that you download something using BitTorrent doesn't make it illegal -- it is simply a file sharing protocol. Debian ISO images are legal to download via HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Jigdo, and so on. When I speak of "legal", I'm of course assuming sane laws. Debian is given away for free, so it makes no sense to outlaw one method of obtaining it while other methods remain legal. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
