Don't most torrent sites run advertising? Yes some of that likely goes to maintain the server, but I doubt it all does in most cases.
A lot of sites distributing content like this are set up as for profit ventures.
- tomp 10y agoI think that's a false dichotomy. If these sites were unambiguously legal, people (like myself) would donate money for the costs of running them. But the problem right now is, that even if a site wasn't making any money (no ads, no nothing), the operators could still be thrown into jail.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoWhat's the problem with making a profit from the legal provision of information? They're not infringing copyright themselves anymore than Google are - put "torrent $mediaName" (eg https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=torrent+mad+max+hash&oq=torrent+mad+max+hash https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=torrent+mad+max+hash&oq=to...) in to Google and you can get all you need to torrent that film.
