Don't trust him Flanders, look at this custom user title. It's been the same for as long as I can remember!

What Ynot said.

The torrents themselves contain no copyrighted material.

I'm perfectly aware of that. Doesn't change the fact that somebody is linking to a website with tons of illegal torrents.

I'm trying to copyright the phrase

which all torrent files start with

Your argument is invalid. If I linked a pornsite here, that coincidentally had no images or improper material, but just trackers, but it did have an off-topic section where people would just talk normally, would it then be perfectly fine with you?

While it is true that these torrent sites offer both legal and illegal material, and it's true that it's up to the user to choose what features they will use, it still means that the site is clearly and purposely sharing illegal torrents.

from a legal stand point, there's no issues

but I'd have to mod the post for inappropriate content on a 15+ forum
(this forum has rules above and beyond any legal laws)

*edit*
again, my own personal opinions

The point is the torrent by itself isn't illegal. It's only illegal if you use the torrent to download the copyrighted material.

Also, I think if you own the material it's not illegal either. I own an original copy of warcraft 3, got the original cd key to prove it, no one could possibly arrest or fine me for downloading the game.
