From a networking perspective, most Internet providers are generally not thrilled with BitTorrent users. Historically, torrent traffic has placed quite a burden on the network , which is one of the reasons why Comcast quietly began throttling torrent traffic many years ago. Another reason to limit torrent traffic is to reduce costs. BitTorrent users transfer large amounts of data that’s not always covered by cheap peering agreements , which can become quite costly.

Prior to the launch of NFTs, laypersons and lawyers alike evaluated tangible and intangible assets in the context of physical (real) space.

But why this has been allowed to drag on for so long can only be answered by New Zealand’s government.
