Sorry to see it go. While we are at it, an honest question: Why should _anyone_ undertake the legal risk, monetary cost and development time burden for maintaining a public tracker? What would release teams gain from setting up encoding pipelines and upholding their networking infrastructure?
So said poor person learned programming and other skills to get a tracker working so that they could give back to others who are in the same boat.

So what ends up happening is even if they can avoid the shallow legal issues by remaining private, they then run into the problem that nobody can pay for the service (not many options for pro…
Also: ad companies and payment processors are a weak link. They can provide de-anonymizing information to officials and cut off payments when their corporate values shift.

Google will only remove specific URLs, not entire sites/domains. Even if every copyright holder with content on TPB sent a DMCA notice to Google today, new torrents -- at new URLs -- would pop up tomorrow.
Hmm i guess torrent sites can also counter by just not having static URLs for content?
