Sure that's what is going to happen, because all of you monthefucking thieves are doing it only because you want to provide your users with what's rightfully theirs, timeshifting whatever. Not because you want to profit from other people's work, you're only doing it for principle. As soos as we have a private tracker, all links to our videos on thieving sites will magically dissappear. What a fucking great plan.
if you do it right you

1. create a liability that is outside the scope of the fair use defence (and therefore outside the scope of safe harbor)
2. slow the download speeds to a crawl for the illegal torrents

so yes for the most part it will stop the illegal downloads

their may be leachers who are willing to wait months or years to get a file but for the most part not really.

just because your to stupid to understand the way torrents work, and how a private tracker is really a solution does mean it won't work

it just means your to stupid to know how to make it work.
