I would be trivial to use real torrents, but I could easily get into a significant amount of trouble if I hosted up real torrent files though. Magnet links are just a link, nothing more. It wouldn't help anyone if I was taken down. I'm hosting this in the USA on a linode at the moment.
- kzahel 14y agoThere is little distinction between in my mind between the torrent, whose bencoded 'info' dict sha1 hahses to the 20 byte magnet link, and the magnet link. The hash uniquely identifies a torrent. Either way, you are presenting a representation of the torrent. You might as easily argue that a torrent file cannot infringe, since it only presents sha1 hashes of chunks of files contained within the torrent, not the actual files themselves.
