Copyright infinging materials dont go "though" trackers. Trackers only keep torrent hashes and lists of peers.

I'm well aware of how trackers and torrents work. But again, do you think law enforcement understands the nuance of that?

Also the government and private companies have argued in the past that the hashes and lists of peers is inducement and enablement for copyright infringement.

So do torrent websites like the pirate bay. That doesn't protect pirates from getting sued to hell and back or even receiving prison sentences from the court.

Torrent sites also keep metadata. Often detailed, telling exactly what media is getting its copyright infringed.

I would argue the pirate bay was an index apart from a tracker, and indexes is what gets you in trouble mostly
