Directly from the claim. If they can ban a torrent index (I don't know if there's actual tracker code in the project) for it being predominantly used for piracy, why not a torrent client?


They took down youtube-dl first, then torrent tracker, so torrent clients, browsers and ffmpeg are next.


a tracker isn't any more infringing than a client is though.
