No, the worst that can happen is that the RIAA or one of their pals accuses of something in court and we have to defend it. There have been sites that have been crushed by that, and we have no interest in joining them. We have no way of effectively policing every torrent, which we would have to do to make sure that none of it is illegal in any of the venues where we have a sizeable number of members.

But maybe you're just complaining about something without being aware of the whole picture:

1) Paypal changed their tune a few years ago. Maybe your donation was back before they cracked down.
2) Why should I or any other individual have to be responsible for it? Why would you trust us to be?

Lasereth, the porn isn't coming back. If that's a deal killer for you, I'm sorry that you won't be with us down the road. I'll miss you, but I'd rather the site grow into what the majority wants it to be rather than the rather small minority (of which you're a part) wants.
