This is not a torrent client. They’re referring to a torrent tracker. Trackers generally serve to help peers find each other.

>Indeed, copyright infringement is so prevalent within the Project that infringement plainly is its predominant use and purpose.

Directly from the claim. If they can ban a torrent index (I don't know if there's actual tracker code in the project) for it being predominantly used for piracy, why not a torrent client?

They took down youtube-dl first, then torrent tracker, so torrent clients, browsers and ffmpeg are next.

a tracker isn't any more infringing than a client is though.
