Why do we have to bang heads George?
I honestly don't see where he recieved any money for Bit Torrent. Infact, if he has anything, it would probably be a legal bill. Granted, I am sure Valve Software paid him a pretty penny for steam, but he still lives off of donations at the moment.

When people think of Bit Torrent, they think of Bram Cohen. How would you like to have your name associated with something when it becomes a tool of spreading adware and such.

But I suppose you are right, he is locking out innovators, or atleast restricting them in using the technology. How much he locks it down, I will be curious to find out.
