[Hearns, John]

I can. I did.
 
I have used bittorrent for all sorts of legal stuff.

AFAIK, the only mass-market legal use of BitTorrent is World of Warcraft updates...
 

BitTorrent is used to provision compute node images in big Beowulf clusters,
as it can scale very well. You want to be able to move around images of diskless nodes and update them.
(In fact the Oscar toolkit has three modes - rsync, bit-torrent and flamethrower which uses multicast)

Hardly a mass-market use of course.
