No need, honestly. Clicking a link on TPB isn't against any laws that I'm aware of. If you want to nail someone for infringement, you watch them on the swarm, not the site.


Well, what's someone going to use the site for other than getting the torrent files?


maybe i just want to know what's popular so i can watch it on netflix/etc?

no better metric for popularity than seeders/peers


Netflix actually watches/watched torrents for popularity and based some of their decision making on it.

Not all torrent files are illegal
