I think that’s just about right or maybe a large site like TPB and say 1-2000 torrents are hosted on individual servers and each server would have a tracker script on it or something (do i even know what I’m talking about??) or maybe google should add a search torrent service :D if only…

that way there would be abit of muscle to fight back and make it ALOT harder for them to work out what server is serving up what torrents and whos done what on what server and if they do take down a server theres still hundreds to pick up the slack and keep the site going (i doubt they would have the muscle or be smart enough to organize a 1000-2000 server take down in multiple countrys within 24-48 hrs of eachother which would be needed to totally close the site and take down the tracker)

anyway as i said just an idea lemme know what u guys think
