Not sure I agree. I’ve never understood why people perceive torrents as ‘not easy’ but then I spend an awful amount of time on teh interwebs. I also think that Limewire/KaZaA were easier than torrents, but also easier to be tricked into downloading junk files or viruses because there was no comment system for the community to vette downloads and warn if they were junk, contained malware or weren’t as labelled.
…that we never saw an explosion of bedroom coders…
Dude! Where do you think Bittorrent, TOR, Bitcoin & SR came from? These things don’t write themselves.
