Newsweek: Bram Cohen Interview

Bit Torrent developer Bram Cohen submits to an interview for Newsweek in which he talks briefly about his meeting with MPAA chief Dan Glickman, and what it's living and coding with Asperger's Syndrome. Cohen talks his usual talk about copyright infringement, distancing himself from all such behavior. "If there's widespread copyright infringement, you really want to go after the ringleader. And we're not being the ringleader for that." Now, this I don't get. Cohen's site, www.bittorrent.com, fronts a torrent search engine that for all the world seems to operate just like MPAA-busted sites that no longer exist. Not that I mind, but how does Cohen coast on friendly meetings with Dan Glickman while making it ridiculously easy to locate and download every movie and TV show I type into his site?
