All I can see is that people use it to advertise the TOC of their folders. The links do not even guarantee that the files in those folders match description. But, I don't see what TPB has with that? None of these is on TPB. The users don't even use TPB to connect, but to get magnet links that are only an entrance to the network.

If I post this here: a4c5fd525f15cf929d6a38b0ccb854b4f88b2385 what can you claim about that hash?

Right... and the advertised TOC of their folders is mostly what? 99.999% linux distros I presume?

That's their private concern. TPB is not a busybody.

What?

Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? Have you clicked on this page: https://www.thepiratebay.org/top/all

Wtf is the point of acting like TPB is a legit site where the main focus is not to spread copyrighted material? Are you that fucking daft?

Craigslist is not responsible for what is done with hammers acquired through its website.
