see i would really like to here this arguement

a private tracker would only be accessable by people who bought a membership to the original site, so i am curious to see how the freeloaders would get access to that source.

MPAA won their case against the dvd ripping software that used DeCSS because they were able to prove that the fair use right of backup was fully services by the free liciencing of "Content SCrable System Decrypt". And the added benefit (the ability to make a copy from a copy) did not fall into the right of back for legitimate copyright liciencees. Setting up a private tracker would represent the same level of fully servicing the fair use right (and no more) as this case, which eliminates the arguement of fair use and make it an order of magnitude easier to stop the public trackers from listing your content. Again cutting off the free loaders from that source.

That cover 100% of the sources, no free loaders, no problem.


Until you put a private tracker and fail to stop the freeloaders then at best your claim that it would suspicion that it would not work, add the fact that you refuse to give any explaination about WHY it would not work make your statement even more questionable.

look at it another way if you were to remove the public trackers without giving former members a way to recover the content you would be forcing them to pay you monopoly prices (membership prices) to recover the content they previous paid for. Even if you were to claim that was not your intent, that would be the consequence banning the content from the public tracker.


which means every request to remove the content can be represented as a greedy copyrightholder who want to charge monopoly prices for fair use distributions like recovery. your now in a position where you have to prove that is not the case before you can successfully win any case in court, and your going to pay a lawyer $300/hour to do that for you.

when you compare that with the zero net cost (you get the advertising revenue the pirate bay is currently getting) of setting up a private tracker, and proving absolutely you are protecting your content from non paying freeloaders.
