Although bittorrent has a reputation for illegally distributing copyrighted content, there is a large, and rapidly growing amount of content in bittorrent that is legally distributable. Much of this is issued under a license which allows you to copy, distribute, advertise and play as long as you give credit to the artist. Some also allow altering for mixes as long as credit is given to the artist. Most of this content is music audio and is from up and coming artists. There are some current movies from independent producers, but most is older movies in the. There is some content from mainstream popular music, mostly live concerts, but a few popular artists have released their content over bittorrent. All of the content at these sites is legal to download and distribute.
