Hi there,

We all know hosting .torrent sites is frowned upon and against TOS, but what about indexing and hosting magnet links (hashes), in the way recently adopted by the owners of ThePirateBay.org?

Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme and http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10840

What is HG’s stance on the publishing of magnet links from their shared/reseller hosting users? A client of mine is curious. As far as I know it is not illegal or copyright infringement in any way to publish magnet links on web pages.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer!
