No different than a TGP, and YES I do know the difference. I am playing devils advocate and asking a few questions it seems none of you even consider.


I dont care if any of you get arrested tomorrow and I surely dont *care* about torrentspy or its owner. But the fact is, torrent site operators are not providing the content, and users are.

To go after them is no different than going after any site that shows user content. Except the fact is, they dont even provide the content.

So its not like going after youtube....

(i can feel my profits go down as i sit here and waste time in this thread)

So, if someone ran a site called CPTorrents, and they predominantly traded in CP torrents...you would have an issue with them being held accountable? After all, they're not PROVIDING content...they're just giving people a place to share it. Nothing wrong with that, right?

I'm not saying unlicensed content is anything like CP...I'm just using it to prove a point.
