The same goes for file sharing sites, sure people share copyrighted material BUT you can equally share things like ios files for Linux distributions or other free content. So if anyone is using things like this for positive purposes lets all share this, any post made to the dcgug blog gets auto shared on the twitter page @dcglug The press will pick up on anything that is negative , so it is up to the community to spread positive stories.
