The use of the BitTorrent protocol for sharing of copyrighted content generated a variety of novel legal issues. While the technology and related platforms are legal in many jurisdictions, law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies are attempting to address this avenue of copyright infringement. Notably, the use of BitTorrent in connection with copyrighted material may make the issuers of the BitTorrent file, link or metadata liable as an infringing party under some copyright laws.^[1] Similarly, the use of BitTorrent to procure illegal materials could potentially create liability for end users as an accomplice.

BitTorrent files can be seen conceptually as a hyperlink. However, it can also be a very specific instruction for how to obtain content on the internet. BitTorrent may transmit or include illegal or copyrighted content. Court decisions in various jurisdictions have deemed some BitTorrent files illegal.

Complicating the legal analysis are jurisdictional issues that are common when nation states attempt to regulate any activity. BitTorrent files and links can be accessed in different geographic locations and legal jurisdictions. Thus, it is possible to host a BitTorrent file in geographic jurisdictions where it is legal and others where it is illegal. A single link, file or data or download action may be actionable in some places, but not in others. This analysis applies to other sharing technologies and platforms.

  • 1.6United States: 2005–present

Jurisdictional variations[edit]

Legal regimes vary from country to country. BitTorrent metafiles do not store copyrighted data and are ordinarily unobjectionable. Some accused parties argued that BitTorrent trackers are legal even if sharing the copyrighted data in question was a copyright violation.^[2] Despite these arguments, there has been tremendous legal pressure, usually on behalf of the MPAA, RIAA and similar organizations around the world, to shut down BitTorrent trackers.

Finland: Finreactor[edit]

In December 2004, Finnish police raided Finreactor, a major BitTorrent site.^[3][4] Seven system administrators and four others were ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of euros in damages. The defendants appealed the case all the way to the Supreme Court of Finland, but failed to overturn the verdict.^[5] Two other defendants were acquitted because they were underage at the time, but were held liable for legal fees and compensation for illegal distribution ranging up to 60,000 euros. The court set their fine at 10% of the retail price of products distributed.^[6]

Hong Kong: individual actions[edit]

On 24 October 2005, BitTorrent user Chan Nai-ming (陳乃明), using the handle 古惑天皇 (The Master of Cunning, although the magistrate referred to him as Big Crook) was convicted of violating copyright by uploading Daredevil, Red Planet and Miss Congeniality to a newsgroup (Chapter 528 of Hong Kong law).^[7] The magistrate remarked that Chan's act significantly damaged the interest of copyright holders. He was released on bail for HK$5,000, awaiting a sentencing hearing, though the magistrate himself admitted the difficulty of determining how he should be sentenced due to the lack of precedent. On 7 November 2005 he was sentenced to jail for three months, but was immediately granted bail pending an appeal.^[8] The appeal was dismissed by the Court of First Instance on 12 December 2006 and Chan was immediately jailed. On 3 January 2007, he was released pending appeal to the Court of Final Appeal on 9 May 2007.

In 2008 and 2009, an unidentified woman and man were arrested for illegally uploading files with BitTorrent in September 2008 and April 2009, respectively.^[9][10]

Singapore: Odex actions against users[edit]

Anime distributor Odex actively took down and sent legal threats against individual BitTorrent users in Singapore beginning in 2007. These Internet users allegedly downloaded fansubbed anime via BitTorrent. Court orders required ISPs to reveal subscribers' personal information. This led to cease-and-desist letters from Odex to users that led to out-of-court settlements for at least S$3,000 (US$2,000) per person. One person who received such a letter was 9 years old.^[11][12] These actions were considered controversial by the local anime community and attracted criticism, as they were seen by fans as heavy-handed.^[13]

Slovenia: Suprnova[edit]

In December 2004, Suprnova.org, a popular early BitTorrent site, closed purportedly due to the pressure felt by Andre Preston, aka Sloncek, the site's founder and administrator. In December 2004, Sloncek revealed that the Suprnova computer servers had been confiscated by Slovenian authorities.^[14]

Sweden: Pirate Bay[edit]

The Pirate Bay torrent website, formed by a Swedish anti-copyright group, is notorious for the 'legal threats' section^[2] of its website in which letters and replies on the subject of alleged copyright infringements are publicly displayed. On 31 May 2006, their servers in Sweden were raided by Swedish police on allegations by the MPAA of copyright infringement.^[15] The site was back online in less than 72 hours, and returned to Sweden, accompanied by public and media backlash against the government's actions.^[16]Steal This Film, was made to cover these incidents.^[17] On 17 April 2009, as a result of the trial following the raid, the site's four co-founders were sentenced to one year of jail time each and to collectively pay 30 million SEK in damages.^[18] All the defendants appealed the decision, although two later served their sentences. In 2012, to minimize legal exposure and save computer resources, The Pirate Bay entirely switched to providing plaintext magnet links instead of traditional torrent files.^[19] As the most popular and well-known facilitator of copyright infringement, The Pirate Bay continues to shift between different hosting facilities and domain registrars in the face of legal prosecution and shutdown threats.^[20] Telenor was recently forced to ban the DNS of TPB (although other cloud based clones still are available).

United States: 2005–present[edit]

Soon after the closure of Suprnova, civil and criminal legal actions in the United States began to increase.^{[citation needed]}

LokiTorrent[edit]

In 2006, Edward Webber (known as 'lowkee'), webmaster of LokiTorrent, was ordered by a U.S. court to pay a fine and supply the MPAA with server logs (including the IP addresses of visitors).^[21] Webber began a fundraising campaign to pay legal fees for actions brought by the MPAA. Webber raised approximately US$45,000 through a PayPal-based donation system. Following the agreement, the MPAA changed the LokiTorrent website to display a message intended to discourage filesharers from downloading illegal content.^[21][22]

EliteTorrents[edit]

On 25 May 2005, the popular BitTorrent website EliteTorrents.org was shut down by the United StatesFederal Bureau of Investigation and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Ten search warrants relating to members of the website were executed.^[23]

Six site administrators pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement and criminal copyright infringement of a pre-commercial release work.^[24] Punishments included jail time, house arrest and fines.^[25] Jail sentences were issued to some defendants violations of criminal law, the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act.^[25][26]

Newnova[edit]

In June 2006, the popular website Newnova.org, a replicate of Supernova, was closed.^[27]

TorrentSpy[edit]

On 29 May 2007, a U.S. federal judge ordered TorrentSpy to begin monitoring its users' activities and to submit logs to MPAA. TorrentSpy ultimately removed access for US visitors rather than operate in an 'uncertain legal environment.'^[28] In the face of destruction of evidence charges and a $111 million legal judgement, TorrentSpy voluntarily shut down and filed for bankruptcy in 2008, although appeals continued through 2009.^[29]

isoHunt[edit]

On 21 December 2009 a federal district court found the founder of isoHunt guilty of inducing copyright infringement. The ruling was upheld on appeal in Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. v. Fung in March 2013 and the site finally shut down in October 2013.

Copyright holder actions[edit]

Copyright owners have undertaken a variety of tactics and strategies to try to curtail BitTorrent transmittal of their intellectual property. In 2005 HBO began 'poisoning' torrents of its show Rome, by providing bad chunks of data to clients.^[30] In 2007 HBO sent cease and desist letters to the Internet Service Providers of BitTorrent users. Many users reported receiving letters from their ISP's that threatened to cut off their internet service if the alleged infringement continued.^[31] HBO, unlike the RIAA, has not been reported to have filed suit over file sharing as of April 2007.

Beginning in early 2010, the US Copyright Group, acting on behalf of several independent movie makers, has obtained the IP addresses of BitTorrent users illegedly downloading specific movies. The group then sued these users, in order to obtain subpoenas forcing ISPs to reveal the users' true identities. The group then sent out settlement offers in the $1,000–$3,000 range. About 16,200 lawsuits were filed between March and September 2010.^[32]

In 2011, United States courts began determining the legality of suits brought against hundreds or thousands of BitTorrent users. Nearly simultaneously, a suit against 5,000 IP addresses was dismissed.^[33] A smaller suit, Pacific Century International, Ltd. v. Does against 100 ISPs, has also been dismissed.^{[citation needed]}

In October 2011, John Wiley and Sons brought suit against 27 New York 'John Does' for illegally copying books from the For Dummies series.^[34] According to TorrentFreak, Wiley is thus 'the first book publisher to take this kind of action'.^[35]

Settlements[edit]

On 23 November 2005, the Motion Picture Association of America and Bram Cohen, the CEO of BitTorrent Inc., signed a deal to remove links to illegal content on the official BitTorrent website.

Other notable search engines also voluntarily self-censored licensed content from their results, or became 'content distribution'-only search engines. Mininova, announced that it would only allow freely licensed content (especially free content distributed by its author under a Creative Commons license) to be indexed after November 2009, resulting in the immediate removal of a majority of Mininova's search.

Infringement's sales impact[edit]

Some commentators have suggested that copyright violation through BitTorrent need not mean a loss of sales.

The actual story is probably a bit more nuanced. There’s plenty to suggest, for instance, that HBO doesn’t necessarily lose business when someone pirates 'Game of Thrones' -- in all likelihood, that person would never subscribe to the network, anyway.

— Caitlin Dewey, The Washington Post^[36]

In addition, the Game of Thrones director, HBO programming president and Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes spoke about the positive effects of file sharing.^[36][37]

If you go around the world, I think you're right, that 'Game of Thrones' is the most pirated show in the world,' he said. 'Now that's better than an Emmy.

Bewkes further commented that he did not consider the unauthorized distribution to result in the loss of HBO subscriptions, rather: 'Our experience is, it all leads to more penetration, more paying subs and more health for HBO.'^[37] The show is the most infringed TV show, and 'the show’s first season was the best-selling TV DVD of 2012.^[36]

Patent infringement[edit]

In June 2011, Tranz-Send Broadcasting Network filed a U.S. District Court lawsuit against BitTorrent Inc. for infringing a patent applied for in April 1999.^[39][40]

For years, Microsoft allowed us to download Windows 7 ISOs through their content delivery partner, Digital River. On February 2015, the company decided to take those links down. Thankfully, there are a couple of ways to download Windows 7 ISOs, legally and for free, either by using Torrents or a free app that provides links straight from Microsoft.

Unblock any international website, browse anonymously, and download movies and Mp3 with complete safety with CyberGhost, just for $2.75 per month:

Why do we need to download Windows 7

Many of us bought our copy of Windows 7 pre-installed with a new desktop or laptop PC. More often than not, though, the box didn't contain a full Windows 7 DVD.

Usually, we would get a 'recovery disk' or a recovery partition, to reinstate the operating system to its default settings. But this would also restore all the third-party bloatware and crapware the manufacturers include. Remember Superfish?

The ability to download Windows 7 ISOs is essential for anyone who wants a clean Windows installation for their PC. It is also handy if we misplaced, lost, or destroyed our original disk.

How is it legal to download a Windows 7 ISO?

When we buy a copy of Windows 7, we don't get a special installation DVD. Every DVD of a particular version - e.g. Windows 7 Home Premium x864 or Windows 7 Professional x64 - is identical to all the others.

What we buy is the unique 25-character product key. We will find it as a sticker on the retail Windows 7 DVD case. Or, with pre-installed Windows, stuck underneath our laptop and on the side of the PC tower.

With this product key, we can install Windows 7 using any disk of the corresponding version. No matter where we got the Installation DVD, we will end up with legally activated Windows 7 on our PC.

We can even download Windows 7 as an ISO from the shadiest torrent site. As long as we are using our genuine product key, the Windows installation will be 100% legal.

Where can I find the Windows 7 product key?

If our Windows 7 PC didn't have Windows preinstalled and doesn't have a sticker, we can use special applications to get the Windows 7 product key.

Some apps will even work in cases where we can't boot into Windows, as long as the hard drive is functional.

Just check out our guide on how to find the Windows product key.

Microsoft giveth, Microsoft taketh away

Even though it would work, downloading Windows 7 from questionable sources is never a good idea. For all we know, the ISO could contain a host of malware: rootkits, trojans, keyloggers; you name it.

That's why it was a big deal that Microsoft allowed us to download Windows 7 as an ISO through Digital River. We could download Windows 7 and be sure that the ISO was clean and untampered.

And then, in early February 2015, Microsoft decided to take down the Digital River ISOs, for good. Sure, they have set up the Microsoft Software Recovery website, the 'official' way to download Windows 7.

However, to download Windows 7 through this site, we need the product key of a store-bought, retail version of Windows.

In case we have a desktop or laptop computer with pre-installed Windows 7, we own an OEM Windows 7 License. And Microsoft's website, for reasons unknown, won't let us download Windows 7 ISOs with a valid OEM product key.

So, as OEM owners, what are we supposed to do? Steal a disk? Beg friends and strangers for a Windows 7 DVD?

According to Microsoft, we should order a physical replacement disk, wait a couple of weeks for the delivery, and pay the shipping and handling fees. Not exactly an ideal solution.

The clean ways to download a Windows 7 ISO

The good news is that whatever goes up on the Internet, never really goes away - for better or for worse.

The German mirror http://mirror.corenoc.de/ has done an exceptional job gathering the Digital River ISOs and uploading them as torrent files. They have all the different English versions and even a few in other languages.

Download Windows 7 Torrent

To download Windows 7 using a torrent file, we will need a torrent client. In the example, we will be using the popular torrent client qBittorrent.

Any torrent client will work, though, such as uTorrent / μTorrent or BitComet. So, if you already have a torrent client, you don't need to install qBittorrent.

With a torrent client installed, we only need to download our preferred version's torrent file:

The torrent file is just a few kilobytes in size, and it will download immediately.

Please note that the MD5 Checksums and SHA-1 Hashes refer to the Windows 7 ISO, not the torrent file.

How to use the torrent file

With a correctly installed Torrent client, we just need to double-click on the torrent file, which will start the application and will ask us where to download the ISO file.

Depending on our internet speed, and the available seeders, the ISO file should download in a few minutes.

How can I trust that the Windows 7 ISO is clean?

As we mentioned earlier, downloading Windows 7 from questionable sources is never a good idea. So, since a random German mirror site isn't exactly a reputable source, how can we be 100% confident that these ISOs are clean and safe?

Fortunately, Microsoft can help with that. You see, these ISOs are the same ISOs we could download if we had an MSDN subscription. And Microsoft provides the SHA-1 checksum for the ISOs downloaded by MSDN subscribers.

We just need to visit this page, where we will find the relevant information for all the Windows 7 ISOs.

We just need to look for the version we downloaded using the torrent file, and click on 'Details'. For the example, we will be using Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (x64).

- Ignore the Product Keys and Download buttons; they won't work without a 1000$+ MSDN subscription -

We know that we have the correct version from the ISO filename.

To confirm that the ISO we downloaded is 100% clean, we just need to compare Microsoft's SHA-1 checksum with the ISO file's checksum.

For this, we will use the free MD5 & SHA Checksum Utility.

This app requires the .NET Framework 3.5, and Windows will prompt to install it if we don't have it already.

Apart from the .NET framework, the app is portable, and it doesn't require an installation. We just run it, click on browse, and select the Windows 7 ISO.

Make sure to select the Windows 7 ISO and not the torrent you used to download the ISO.

Depending on our CPU speed, calculating the checksums will take a couple of minutes.

On the MSDN page, we select the SHA1 checksum and copy it.

We paste it on the Verify Hash with Generated Hash field on the app and click on Verify.

The 'SHA-1 Hash matched' message means that these Windows 7 ISOs are 100% identical to Microsoft's ISOs, and not a single byte is different.

How to download Windows 7 straight from Microsoft

Torrents are an excellent way to download large files, but they are not for everyone. If you don't have a torrent client and are not keen on installing one, there is an alternative way to download Windows 7 straight from Microsoft.

What's best, this way will allow us not only to download Windows 7, but also Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and several versions of Microsoft Office.

How Can I Download Torrent File Using Idm

The Windows ISO Downloader from Heidoc.net

Firstly, we need to download the latest version of the Windows ISO Downloader from Heidoc.net. As of this writing, the version is 4.36, updated on May 12th, 2017.

The app is about 1MB and it will download instantly.

VirusTotal gives the app a 100% clean bill of health. But feel free to test the latest version yourselves on VirusTotal.com or with the antivirus app you use on your PC.

How to use the Windows ISO downloader

The Windows ISO Downloader is a portable app, that does not require an installation. We just open the app, and we are good to go.

The app is particularly easy to use, even for completely novice users. Firstly, we select the version of Windows or Office on the upper right-hand corner..

Then, from the main window, we select the edition that matches our product key. For most users with preinstalled Windows 7, the correct version is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 COEM, or Windows 7 Professional SP1 COEM.

After we hit the 'Confirm' button, we get to choose the Windows 7 language. Our product key will work on any language available.

Once we confirm the language, we get the option of downloading either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows.

These buttons and the subsequent links will only work for 24 hours from the time of creation.

You should note that the download happens straight from Microsoft's servers.

On a fast ADSL or VDSL connection, the download will take approximately 20 minutes.

If we want to use a different browser or a download accelerator, we can get the download links from the 'Copy link' buttons on the right.

We can then paste the link to the browser or app of our choice.

What's next: Creating a Windows 7 DVD / USB and Installing Windows 7
