The only ones using torrent sites for legit reason as you love to claim so many are, are those masses which live in your personal fantasy world. In the real world, its just a bunch of people looking for free shit who are looking to avoid paying for it (myself included)... which is why they have so much traffic. "free" = "traffic"
fact more than 1/2 of all torrent traffic is tv shows.

80% of the 25 lists is broadcast tv shows

99.5% of the US population has at least 1 tv

97% has at least 2 tvs


just the people using torrents as a VCR is a MAJORITY

add in the people who use it for music (from countries that have a piracy tax)

add in the people who are simply recovering content they bought

add in people who are using the swarm to format shift their dvd /cd into avi/mp3

and that majority grows pretty quickly.

the only way you can claim that legitimate uses are a minority is by ignoring fair use and only counting copyright holder authorized distribution.
