The point is that they don't have any offending material. They have links, and/or hashes; neither of which can possibly be considered 'offensive' under the current state of DMCA precedent.
If the laws of their country change in a way that forces them to comply with the DMCA as it is, they're still not infringing. That they aren't obligated to comply with the DMCA as it sits is kind of irrelevant to the conversation, considering the follow-on point is also true.
- techthroway443 10y agoI think I see your point. So in order for TPB to be considered out of compliance with the DMCA there would have to be a clause in the DMCA where it clearly states that magnet links to copyrighted material are not allowed?
- bmelton 10y agoI think that either that, or deep linking would have to be outlawed, which would obviously yield questionable results.
