You can’t assume the rights holder is giving tacit consent to non-license holders to share. You can assume they are mitigating bandwidth constraints using the bittorrent protocols. Assuming the other seeders are pirates like “you” is the bad assumption here. Relying on autoseeding software to distort the legal reality is the bad assumption here (someone else mentioned this).
- washadjeffmad 6y agoHow does one reconcile the existence of the private torrent feature, then?
- vmception 6y agoA protocol can be used for anything. With torrents there is no one organization that has control over a proprietary piracy tool. That is how you reconcile it. If you are sharing things you dont have a license from the creator or another license holder to share, it is copyright infringement. If you are sharing things you have that authorization from then it is not.
