Bram Cohen

Känd för att ha skrivit BitTorrent. Kallas av sin fru Jenna för »My sweet little autistic nerd boy«.

»Cohen in fact has Asperger's syndrome, a condition on the mild end of the autism spectrum that gives him almost superhuman powers of concentration but can make it difficult for him to relate to other people.«

»The one person who hasn't joined the plundering is Cohen himself. He says he has never downloaded a single pirated file using BitTorrent. Why? He suspects the MPAA would love to make a legal example of him, and he doesn't want to give them an opening.«
