Listen, twit, I work for neither the Tor Project nor the US Government
and it is deceptive to imply that I do (like you have). This is not
propaganda. There are good technical and ethical reasons to not use Tor
for BitTorrent data. It's the same reason that you're okay (from a
social, ethical standpoint anyway) filling up your water bottle from the
river, you're okay getting water for your whole campsite with 10 people
from the river, but pulling a Nestlé and scooping the river dry is not
(even if you're not selling the water at a profit).

I don't proclaim authority. I just give advice and spread the truth.
