The downloaded files are technically sitting on Amazon's server (IIRC). Put.io doesn't know an illegal file is there (it's encrypted), so how would any one else?
- sva_ 4y agoBy seeding a copyrighted file, someone could get Amazons IP address, who would in turn know the data was hosted by Put.io? I doubt they could get out of DMCA that easily.
- mbesto 4y agoPut.io uses magnet links. IIRC there is no way to track an IP address of a seeder because they use DHT's.
- anacrolix 4y agoThis is not correct. The point of the BitTorrent DHT is to share address information of peers for a torrent.
- anacrolix 4y agoPut.io reuse download content amongst all its users. It's only present on the network for a short period of time. Because it's a paid service, actual usage is quite small compared to all regular users combined, so they would not get much attention.
