I wonder how hosting a torrent is different to google showing a link to a pirated movie, both are just holding data that tells you where to find the content, no

  neither "hosts" the content. they both just point to the destination with the content.

  I think Google is expected to abide DMCA takedowns in such cases, but IANAL. My understanding is that even an indirect reference (such as a link or infohash) is a DMCA violation.

    They happily link to a prime number that will decrypt DVDs in blatant disregard for the DMCA, however. I don't believe they received a takedown request for this one. https://www.theregister.com/2001/09/11/worlds_first_decss_executable_prime/ https://www.theregister.com/2001/09/11/worlds_first_decss_ex...

  That was The Pirate Bay's defense and... they're still around.
