A program is a piece of software, inluding, but not limited to utilities, applications and games.

A utility is a program used to configure/maintain/improve the system and the operating environment.

An application is a program designed to do one or several specific tasks that isn't directly related to the system it's running on.

Erm... after the BS I got from the copyright mafia, then how is anyone going to be able to sell or even give away all those old commercial programs without getting shot down in flames by the whingers who'd rather see all these wonderful old pieces of software gather dust and never be available to anyone ever again... ;)
From a technical point of view, Torrents are amongst the most efficient methods of distributing data without a centralised server.
