Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to agree with you.  :(

Interesting.  In what way do you envision someone take advantage of it? 
  How do you see BT being different from, say, an http or ftp service?  
Personally, I've used BT without problems.  In fact, it's worked really 
well for me when I've used it.  And I keep my downloader running after 
I'm finished so that it uploads data to others.
