This was being talked about in several places on Friday.  I first say this
article on Mashable:
http://mashable.com/2010/11/26/torrent-finder/.<http://mashable.com/2010/11/26/torrent-finder/>
 I wonder why a warrant or some warning is not needed on the Internet when it
is required for everything else that is not an emergency situation.
