Also, Windows is constantly shit on.
EDIT:
Wait a minute...
Kodi isn't illegal...
That's how you know it's fake news
Just like torrenting isn't illegal, it's literally just a file transfer protocol. Before bittorrent, people used ftp and usenets

Spot on.
I've always supported torrents and always will. They're simply providing a gateway to the content, much the same as Google Is providing a gateway to access torrent sites. So the question remains, why Is torrenting considered Illegal (by copyright holders) and Google Isn't?

Many of the things that are considered "illegal" come from misinformed parents that indoctrinate their children into believing it. Example article: here

fake as hell, but absolutely hilarious. Some parents (when I was a child, this included mine), actually take these things seriously and think this article is 100% fact

This article has made my weekend an even better one. It's not only hilarious, but also ridiculous.
I'm not going to quote each and every detail on the site on what I believe Is a complete exaggeration- you've already done that by providing the link. I will however, quote this (absolutely absurd):
Quote:Has your son radically changed his appearance?
If your son has undergone a sudden change in his style of dress, you may have a hacker on your hands.
My nephew has recently updated his wardrobe with new clothes. Luckily I read this, he may well be a hacker (LOL).

Yet another reason why I use Linux, specifically the Solus operating system!

This is a hoax that has been floating around for awhile. I remember hearing this when Windows 10 launched.
