don't take this as an attack in any way, but I have always been curious as to what is the business model of a site like Isohunt? What is its original purpose?

From what I understand, your boss is anti porn, yet, if I type in "porn" into the search box, I get 24 047 results... some might be samples, others probably full blown movies and a plathora of crap.


And of course, torrents are mostly known for being a good place to get illegal copies of software and movies, isnt that the main purpose of your sites? Isnt that what most of your traffic is there for?

So why bother even answering DMCAs? you're always going to get them cause most of your torrents are distributing illegal content.


I know you're a "search engine", but I don't think that really makes you innocent of whats going on.


You might be helpful when it comes to taking down torrents that shoudnl't be there, but I think we all know that in the long run, it doesn't really do much since another version will pop up in no time in your listings no?
