This was normal torrents, not magnet links? Was the complaint retried |

I suspect the links in ebuilds are more like torrent files, in which |
| 24 |
case I think it makes sense to wait to be contacted to remove the |
| 25 |
links. Otherwise, lots of other precautions should be taken, such as |
| 26 |
disclaiming liability for acts of terrorism perpetrated using Gentoo. |
