This is the point exactly. Without the trackers, the end users cannot find the peers to get the file. This is the effective indexing "source" for the files in question. Without it, there would be a very few people with encoded files and no methods for anyone else to discover them. They could, well, email their friends I guess, but other than that, there would be no method for anyone to discover the content. That is the key to it all. The tracker initiates the process. No tracker, no process.
You are a fool arguing a less and less valid point all the time. You should stop before you prove yourself an idiot.

so now you are admitting the tracker only helps you find the peers (aka the people actually trading the copywrited material) the problem with trying to extend the law to say that action is ALSO a copyright infringement is that SEARCH ENGINES also help you find such infringing sites.
SEARCH ENGINES like GOOGLE allow you to find sites that stream copywrited material. holding them responsible for the infinging action of someone they link too is not a valid arguement.
LET HIT A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOME
AS a tgp you trade traffic with other TGPS should you be held responsible for the copyright infringement of all your tradeing partners.
IF someone post a gallery with stolen content should you have to pay for that infringement because you facilitated the access to the stolen content.
this is the problem with the bitching/ whinning cry babies when you use the same "loop hole" to protect yourself it just business, when the pirate bay uses the same "loop hole" they are theives.
You don't like the loop hole get it closed, but you will have to live with the consequences when it is turned against you.
given the number of abuses of the current laws (VIACOM's overly broad infringement claim) i think the laws are strong enough already if not a little too strong.
