 Q. Can I use Tor with bittorrent?
-
-Q. Does the Tor Project have control over onion services?
+A. Using Tor with bittorrent is not recommended or supported. For further details,
+please see our blog post on the subject at https://blog.torproject.org/blog/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea. 
 
 Q. Is using Tor illegal?
+A.
 
 Q. Why did you infect my computer with malware? (CryptoLocker)
+A. You have been infected with malware. The Tor Project did not create this malware. 
+
+The Tor Project writes software that is used every day for a wide variety of purposes 
+by the military, journalists, law enforcement officers, activists, and many others
+[https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en].  Unfortunately, the protection that our software
+can provide to these groups of people can also be abused by criminals and malware authors.
+
+The Tor Project does not endorse, support or condone the use of our software in this way. However,
+we are not able to assist directly with these cases as we did not write the malware that you
+have been infected with.
