Torrents are not a bad thing, they are just sometimes used badly.
Well the television stations and TV show executives have a problem with that. If people can just download the episode, there is no urgency or effort put into being at home and around the TV when the show comes on.

P2P and torrents aren't bad, it's just a tactic of sharing files online. But most people using them are using it for bad things.
