> Public evidence is hard to track down (especially quickly) since raids on private trackers are so rare And why is that? It’s because nobody cares about private trackers. It’s not like it’s particularly difficult to find the people behind sites like BTN and PTP, one of the sysops uses their reddit account to discuss the tracker, their US tech job and frequently comments in their local city subreddit. > The damage there was limited since according to the admins all site and user data was destroyed. Maybe true, maybe not. The servers were at OVH and seized by French LE. Perhaps they were encrypted, but I rather doubt they had any hardening against DMA tools. But what about BCG then? That was shut down by uk cops around the same time as What.CD, as far as I know nothing happened to the users. Also, despite what that torrentfreak claims. Gay-torrents was not a private tracker, but a public (paid) site. If people had started receiving letters after private trackers getting raided, there’d be a plenty of forum discussions to be found. This just hasn’t ever happened.
