A year ago today the wildly successful Bittorrent search engine SuprNova.org went offline. It has now emerged that, despite police raids on their ISP and administrators home, it wasn't doing anything wrong.

Bittorrent, like explosives, has a wide range of legal uses, particularly in the open source and open content worlds. Azureus maintain an excellent list of legal torrent sites carrying only apparently legal content.
