By seeding a copyrighted file, someone could get Amazons IP address, who would in turn know the data was hosted by Put.io? I doubt they could get out of DMCA that easily.



Put.io reuse download content amongst all its users. It's only present on the network for a short period of time. Because it's a paid service, actual usage is quite small compared to all regular users combined, so they would not get much attention.


Put.io uses magnet links. IIRC there is no way to track an IP address of a seeder because they use DHT's.


This is not correct. The point of the BitTorrent DHT is to share address information of peers for a torrent.
