That can be argued. After all, the principle stays the same and BT does use HTTP, so one could say that a .torrent is an advanced form of hyperlink (with the advantage that it does not even specify the location of the material, only what server *might* know that location, ie it links to a link).

Wether anyone would go to court to get this view officially approved is another matter.

This won’t change anything for BitTorrent sites. A torrent file is not a hyperlink and they must be hosted somewhere even if it means pushing them all into the DHT.

This is good news.

I think, however, if the courts educated themselves a little bit concerning the nature of Bittorrent we wouldn’t have Tracker issues and lawsuits in the first place since there aren’t any illegal files on their servers. It’s like getting arrested for merely posting pictures of marijuana on a personal website, it doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t happen.
