what?!

What is PSA and why mention cars?

 

[zinxpxbl]

PSA = public service announcement.
I have no idea what you think torrents are, but it's a generic term covering many possible uses. Just like cars. Yes, it's illegal to drive your car into your ex wife. In ~some parts of the world~ it's illegal to use torrents certain ways too. That's about it.

If you do not share illegal content, well, torrenting is not illegal.

Many games are distributed via torrents deliberately by their developers, for instance.
