Another failure. Wonderful. Actually, when you add openbt on the torrent you may be (re)registering even if they had the ability to delete hashes..

Nice work Hollywood, you keep failing for our entertainment ;D

There are no “technical reasons” which would forbid blacklisting a known hash. What OTB however doesn’t do is verifying the content to which the hash belongs thus there is no “pre-screening” process which would blacklist the hash before publishing.
The media companies have to specifically tell OTB that hash X point to copyrighted material and should be blacklisted.

Which is good for pirates because minimal modification to the torrent data will create a different hash ;)

Hollywood should be sued for trying to waste the court time.

Hmm fuck, Since when did OpenBT have a DCMA takedown policy?, I thought the whole point was that they where an impartial cog in the system and blocking hashes wasn’t possible for ‘technical reasons’. Not to mention they don’t have to be in a country that even has the DMCA (ie any country that isn’t America).

Well I guess trackers are no longer an issue thanks to DHT+PEX, although it would suck for it to be taken down.

On the plus side they have a .txt file containing all the torrent hashid’s. Anyone looking to setup their own .torrent index site has an instant 2 million torrents up for grabs in a few minutes (well a few min followed by months worth of scraping DHT for metadata to get names and complete .torrent files, but you could do it in order of ).

I found a HOTTEST interracial club =MixedConnect *.* C0M=for black Women and white Men, or black Men and white Women, to interact with each other. Interracial is not a problem here, but a great merit to cherish!

If it isn’t the trolls its the damn spammers. Somebody needs to ddos these spammers. Or better yet hack their network and install a BT client and get them busted for downloading pr0n!

Careful who you piss off spammers, we are geeks and we know how to take you down!
