  1. Mike, that's what I'd like to believe. But the terms of service clearly says "other users of the software" and "only files that you are explicitly synchronizing or sharing". If it said synchronizing AND sharing, then what you say would make sense. Automatic Uploading The Software accelerates the synchronization of data by enabling your computer to grab pieces of files from other users of the Software simultaneously. Your use of the Software to synchronize files will, in turn, enable other users to synchronize pieces of those files from you, thereby maximizing synchronization speeds for all users. In the Software, only files that you are explicitly synchronizing or sharing or have synchronized or shared through the Software will be made available to others. You consent to other users' use of your network connection to download portions of such files from you. At any time, you may uninstall the Software through the Add/Remove Programs control panel utility on Windows Operating Systems or drag the Application to the Trash on MacOS. In addition, you may control the Software in multiple ways through its user interface without affecting any files you have already synchronized.
  2. Can anyone explain this text in the EULA? It sounds creepily like Bittorrent sync is "seeding" files stored on my computer to other random people if they have the same file on their computer. This is bad from a privacy perspective, because if someone has a file, say a documentary that is banned by their government, other people can prove that they have that file. Is this the case? http://www.bittorrent.com/legal/eula-sync Automatic Uploading The Software accelerates the synchronization of data by enabling your computer to grab pieces of files from other users of the Software simultaneously.
