Flaws in recent BitTorrent Study

This seems to be part of a trend that started in the 90s and has
accelerated since 2000: the use of totally bogus "facts" to support a
political position. We saw that recently in the attack on Shirley
Sherrod, but that's just one of many examples.
This anti-BT study is just one more among many.
I'll be frank with you, folks: if it didn't appear in a peer-reviewed
journal, and you didn't see it (the actual event, not a "photo" or
"video"), don't believe it. Especially if it has any connection to a
controversial issue.
