Is it just me or is this article very poorly written? It doesn't have that encyclopedic feel to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.74.196.118 ( talk) 15:46, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
"What does it matter exactly how many balls he's capable of juggling?", haha, genius. But yeah, I am sure this article was written by Cohen himself.
He "diagnosed himself with Asperger's"? Since when is he qualified to diagnose himself? Seems like the sentence should be changed to reflect that he _claims_ to "suffer" from Aspergers. Or more accurately, you could just say he's a bit too pretentious. -- Jgw
The Bram Cohen Asperger claim cites two three sources: the Wired article (which doesn't go into any detail), the Fortune article, and the interview on Wrong Planet. However, the sources don't say anything about it being a self diagnosis. Are there any reliable sources for this, or is he formally diagnosed, or is this just another spurious claim that yet another random genius, celebrity or luminary has it? In any case if this can't be clarified then the paragraph needs to be struck (or at least reworded) due to BLP concerns.

The community that BT was built around was the free high quality bootleg community for such bands as Phish. Bram wanted to trade large FLAC files around without a lot of bandwidth. This was the primary purpose and goal of BT. -- Gayhippo 19:51, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
"Cohen collected free pornography to lure beta testers to use the program." LOL! A smart idea, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.114.59.41 ( talk • contribs) 00:29, 18 January 2006
On Bram's own site [1], he claims to be a pirate. Why, then, does anyone think BitTorrent was intended for any legitimate use? -- Mikeblas 02:19, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
I came across this today. Is he from Bellevue or New York then? Anyone know for sure? -→ Buchanan-Hermit ™/ ?! 08:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I know the problem with blogs as sources, but if a link is to an interview - and the blog has no additional analysis - is it still verboten? Thanks, WalterGR ( talk | contributions) 01:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

"Mojo Nation lineage went through a series of restarts and a changing lineup of performers. Err, I mean of programmers. During this time, Bram Cohen left Mojo Nation and invented BitTorrent.
