Re: You're Screwed

Providing a link to a torrent is not quite the same as hosting the actual torrent itself. While the torrent is one step removed from the actual content, the link to the torrent is 2 steps removed.

Nice name.

The torrent file contains no pirated content, it just links to the person with the file, so there is a "step" you've ignored. Compare that to search engines pointing to sites that directly host mp3 files, which would also be "one step".

But really, who cares about your fancy "steps". The fact remains that torrent files contain absolutely no copywritten content, and thus the person who is violating the law would be the original seeder, and arguably anyone who doesnt disable their upload while downloading.
