It really shouldn't. their argument is probably that infringement is the main use case of a torrent tracker.

This is not a torrent client. They’re referring to a torrent tracker. Trackers generally serve to help peers find each other.

#9The MPA seems to be getting braver with these takedowns, considering how quickly the youtube-dl one got flipped around. This one seems particularly shaky as you could not use it to explicitly download anything - rather to host data of your own (with no explicit requirement for it to be unauthorized copyright violation).
EDIT: perhaps just a ploy to unmask the authors of the torrent site?
