Malaysia Boleh (BitTorrent Edition)
auyongtc | February 20, 2008So Demonoid is back, well at least the tracker is. And it’s now hosted in Malaysia. Malaysia truly boleh. And we’re moving up the chain, aren’t we?
No longer do we need to rely on manufacturing pirated CD/DVDs late nights at the factories, we’re now attracting foreign BitTorrent trackers to setup shop site in the country. So even if Google don’t end up setting up their big data-centre here, at least we can brag that the best BitTorrent tracker is now in town 
Hosting a bittorrent tracker does not amount to piracy. The tracker does just that; tracking. It doesn’t host any files, it doesn’t facilitate the transfer, it just tracks.
And this doesn’t even touch on the issue that bittorrent is a good protocol to transfer big files using P2P protocol. Whether the files are “pirated” or otherwise isn’t a fault of the protocol nor the trackers.
