> For torrent sites, this would be an attractive solution because they wouldn’t need to maintain a central HTTP server which implies costs and can be easily shut down. On the other hand, their mutable torrent magnet link cannot be easily shut down, does not imply maintenance costs, and cannot be easily tracked down, This would imply that all torrent sites exist because they believe in the "cause" and have no other motive. While a small subset might the rest enjoy the ad revenue while appearing to only care about supporting p2p networks.
