Hello DHT, Magnet, PEX and that other protocol that we do not speak of.

[tfh → 4ensic]

I don't understand the difference between serving torrent files and serving magnet links. Both gives the user the data to start downloading (illegal) stuff.

[Andys → tfh]

Think of a magnet link as hyperlinking to another, different, website which contains the actual downloads & download links.

I imagine that distinction is too subtle to matter. It might make some lawyers more cash though.
