Tracker Tretchery Oink founder: We’re just like Google – Telegraph
[From Oink founder: We're just like Google - Telegraph ]
So, this begs the question as to whether being a conduit for illicit behavior is implicit with that behavior? Google does not route the packets that enable illegal activity, but torrent trackers do by facilitating the initial seeking of seeds and peers, as well as participating in the scrape that leads up to the successful completion of a download.
I love BitTorrent, but its forces an interesting issue in terms of the liability of the tracker.
