Tell that to the legit torrents hosted on tpb

• yzzxy 12y ago
  There's no incentive to host a legal torrent on The Pirate Bay, except to "shield" illegitimate activity or for some kind of marketing stunt. With a legitimate torrent, here is no possibility of a legitimate takedown request, so it can be hosted on the originating sites or somewhere like the Internet Archive. Those locations will be more stable, and will not associate your product with illegal activity. It's like knowingly depositing your money with the mob to invest in their money laundering business, and crying to the police when it's confiscated during a raid. Except not really, because the torrents probably all still exist. TPB is a site for content piracy. Everything else is probably such a tiny margin of the site's use that it's not worth discussing.
