what are the legalities here? i can't see where they have protection.
For one I think most of the torrent sites, at least the ones I have looked into, are all sitting in a shit country that does no enforce nor care about copyright law.

The only way to really hit these sites is to full on attack the companies they advertise and cut off their funding.
