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.
But how do you know which torrents are illegal. You yourself make the argument that the websites have no idea who has legal rights to download this material and who doesn't and you don't want them to be forced to have any responsibility in determining that so how can they determine if a torrent is illegal?
