I allready know some torrents are using it

Great saying things like this too

"If Kim Dotcom uses his celebrity to bring attention to the use of Bitcoins for cyberlocker access, welding the two together will most likely bring both out with a much bigger market than before and make both of them much more resilient to economic siege by the copyright industry."
Please do some research on how Bitcoin works and also look at all the places that are now currently accepting Bitcoin. There are a large number of online stores now accepting Bitcoin and some brick & mortar stores, etc. Infact I believe there are now some adult paysites and adult hosting companies that are now accepting bitcoins.

It's very easy to accept and process bitcoin payments and for things such as adult paysites it's fantastic because it allows people who don't normally trust adult sites (cross selling, credit cards banged, statements showing weird charges, etc) to purchase memberships via Bitcoin which offers a somewhat anonymous way to pay!

Just because filelockers, torrent sites, drug websites (Silk Road 2.0, Black Market Reloaded, etc) use Bitcoin for payments doesn't mean it's bad.
