It hasn't violated the rules. If it had, it would have been closed.

Brinson is right regarding the letter of the rules, but not the spirit. Not all torrents are illegal, and the tracker sites themselves are not illegal, hence these can be discussed. Once the conversation turns to the aspects that ARE illegel, such as copyrighter material and specific torrents, they are closed/deleted.

This policy is in place to prevent a few from spoiling what Tech-Forums is and will be, as well as to protect tech-Forums from lawsuits over copyrighted materials.

It is a delicate subject, Luke. The client is not illegal, using a torrent is not illegal, and even the location itself is not illegal. It is the (sometimes) content that is illegal.

Legal content is available on even private tracker sites. Of course there is a lot more illegal content there as well.

It is the discussion of the illegal that is prohibited.

like there are some legal things put on Torrent sites like Service Packs or Upgrades for people who don't have legal keys, some free games even put up their updates on there (Rappelz Epic Series is one that does that)
