That's right, we shouldn't place blame on the sites hosting all of the illegal software torrents. They started it completely with the intent of only distributing media in the public domain. They were also totally unaware of people using their project to distribute the latest Adobe Photoshop release, and thousands of movies.
- cmiles74 10y agoEh, I think it's clear they don't host the actual intellectual property; they're mostly like signs pointing to who actually is hosting the IP. It seems like prosecuting those actually hosting the IP is too much work or would cost too much money and so the torrent indexers are prosecuted instead. I don't think their motives are relevant.
- overcast 10y agoTheir motives are entirely relevant. Especially when they speak out against it. The most prolific site ever, has the word PIRATE in it. I mean come on.
