If this is a tool and doesn't host any content, what exactly will you be taking down upon receiving a DMCA?

- vintikzzzz 2y agoGood question. Even though Webtor doesn’t host or index any content itself, users can generate direct links like https://webtor.io/{infohash} https://webtor.io/{infohash} to access specific torrents. Sometimes these links get shared publicly — on forums, blogs, or aggregators — and that’s usually how DMCA notices find their way to me. When that happens, I remove access to that specific infohash from the hosted service. It’s not about removing stored files (since there’s no persistent storage), but about disabling further processing of that particular torrent.
