I have added BitTorrent to Section 2. However, I would not like to have 
too many examples in that section. Since Skype and Gnutella were already 
mentioned somewhere else in the document, I have not added new 
subsections with them in Section 2.

I would like to stress the fact that there are *fully* legitimate. If 
you have a suggestion to give more emphasis to the sentence without 
using "perfectly", let me know.

Since this is yet another example of content distribution using 
bittorrent, I do not think we need to add it to the document... but 
thanks for the reference anyway. It is interesting!

Thanks for your comments,
