Your friend probably signed up for 3x years.

Also I use magnet links to download drivers and OS’s all the time. It’s not illegal, although it could be used as such - at least the same way a website can. Shall we start DCMAing chromium or Firefox? Obviously, you can use the web browser for nefarious purposes.

If Chromium or Firefox set their default homepages to 1337x or eztv and tied their search box into their results you'd bet they'd also get an DMCA notice

Google remove the links from _search results_

No they don't. Literally the first thing I tried had a link to 1337x: https://www.google.com/search?q=bc6dbb81c1218cb19c54cafc3ebd...

your own example has a link to the lumen db with a list of DMCA takedowns against that search ...

the third one has 11 different links to 1337x
