    hello all,

    i`m building a review website for WII games and i was wondering if i can link to torrents sites (where you can download those games). basically i only link to the site that link to the download copy (so it`s not even a direct link).

    is it legal?

    thanks !

    the torrent site won't mind it as long it's a public tracker you can't link private trackers anyways cause they have DHT on and are a closed community . the torrent site site does not also host any material on it's server it just indexs the torrent files which are just hash and meta info the content lies on millions on computers and servers world wide, this just what google does now if someone can explain this to RIAA/MPAA retards the world would be a very happy place or other wise plz shut down google too . coming to legal issue in your case it will depend on your hosting a lot , cause this is very hot issue as of now . so check your hosting if they allow torrent files to linked and check the legal status in your country if it is alrite their to share copy righted material , other wise you would be taken down fast since all WII games are copy righted.
