![]() You could also run the BitTorrent Kademlia DHT on top of Tor, without any explicit tracker needed just with Tor hidden-service BitTorrent client nodes publishing the hidden-service addresses of other client nodes to the DHT ring. If BitTorrent clients also had the option to publish their open port as a Tor hidden service, then they could register with a tracker that's also a hidden service, entirely over Tor and then use the tracker to discover the Tor hidden-service addresses of other BitTorrent clients to connect to. ![]() It makes more sense in the context of a larger hypothetical infrastructure. That VPN providers (unlike ISPs) aren't required to maintain such logs, and thus typically don't.įor comparison, in Germany, downloading from "obviously illegal" sources is prohibited, further sharing a copy from such sources among friends is prohibited (and since breaking copy protection is prohibited too, having a DRM-free copy of the content is a pretty strong indicator that it comes from an illegal source - unless you got it from a Swiss friend.). That ISPs and VPN providers aren't required (and quite likely even aren't allowed) to disclose the identity behind an IP address to a private entity private companies collecting IP addresses to sue uploaders violate privacy laws, and thus commit a crime themselves (!) Sharing it with random strangers (as happens while torrenting) is not legal, but hard to prosecute, because: Sharing said material with your friends, even if you obtained it from an obviously shady source, is perfectly legal. Downloading copyrighted material, even from obviously shady sources, is perfectly legal. Switzerland is interesting from a copyright aspect in multiple ways:
