Dropbox Bans BitTorrent Startup Boxopus Over Piracy Concerns

On Saturday we covered Boxopus, a new startup that allows people to download torrents directly to their dropbox folders. The news was quickly picked up by many other technology sites and as a result the service’s member count surged to more than 50,000. Boxopus didn’t go unnoticed by the people at Dropbox either. However, where most reviews heralded the usefulness of the service, Dropbox sees it as a threat. Although Boxopus is a neutral technology, BitTorrent’s piracy stigma is something Dropbox wants to stay far away from.
