== On the subject of sources == 

 On the matter of USA Today, and this particular discussion is more directly to Tmorton166; As Wikipedia, as you doubt know, relies on verifiability. Without a login for whatever USA Today's got going on their website, that particular article as a source can't be verified. Hence, it's not a legitimate source. Now, I may have missed something that says "Oh, USA Today's an exception to our rule for this, that, and the other reasons", but somehow, I sincerely doubt it. 

 On the matter of Torrent Freak; As per WP:IRS (Not, of course, to be confused with IRS) and WP:SPS, "self-published media... are largely not acceptable". Torrent Freak would, in the examples in WP:SPS, probably fall under both "blog" and "newsletter", perhaps depending on your opinion. Yes, by some standards it is a "news service", but it's not the New York Times. And that's before the bias, though that's somewhat beside the point if it is to be dismissed under self-published guidelines. Which, of course, I strongly contend we do.
