    Well, the domain name doesn't mean a thing here, it is more what you plan to do with it.

    The Torrent technology is legal and if used to distribute software or contents with the explicitly blessings of the copyright owner is acceptable.

    However, sadly torrent has been used primarily to distribute copyright contents without permissions and that distribution is illegal. That said, there is this technical loophole which allows you to distribute torrent seeds or point to anything illegal and as long as you do not do the actual distribution, you be safe from the law.

    I guess it all boils down to what is legally right and what is morally right. This is pretty much in a very grey area. The law may tip soon, who knows.

    You will only host the .torrent files so that isn't illegal. piratebay.org got raided I believe, but nothing happened since they don't host the actual illegal files.

    Anyone else have any idea or information? I did some research last night I just dont want to get in trouble with the law without being sure of the legality of something.
