I guess no one wants to go through all of the hell and expenses of federal court. The Pirate Bay drew way too much negative attention to bittorrent so now bittorrent is getting a bad name. Thats what happens when you try to take these underground downloading applications mainstream without securing rights or permission from copyright holders. It will be way too expensive and risky for anyone to run trackers or bitt sites. all of the torrent trackers are shutting down really fast without notice now that the guys from the pirate bay have lost their case.
