Besides Linux isos and piracy, what are some common uses of torrenting?

When they say that “they have an army of lawyers” or that Disney has more lawyers than animators and things like that, do they tho? Is an army of lawyers really effective? Do companies actually have an “army” of lawyers to redact and sign documents?

What changed for you when you got a better job?
How often do you change your mobile phone plan?
I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal.
