Pretty much, yeah, TPB will presumably only be publishing DHT/MAGNET links from their index, which are able to automatically find peers/seeds in a decentralised manner.
... upon looking, they still seem to publish .torrents for now, but the huge magnet icon on their home page pretty much tells it all :)
- oikujhgfvg 17y agoSo why won't hosting the link be aiding and abetting copyright violation?
- pyre 17y agoI suspect that the lack of a tracker helps them out more (legally) than hosting .torrent files vs magnet urls.
- NikkiA 17y agoBecause the link doesn't point to an actual resource anywhere, it's just a hash of the file in question. That doesn't mean the MPAA won't try, they've argued that file hashs are equivalent to the file before, and they may win in the US, however, I'm not sure that arguement would hold up in the EU due to the possibility of hash collisions, and the fact that you can't make the file from the hash.
