Can't Get the Banned/Take-Down Philosophy Yet
-
What's the real deal? There are literally thousands of torrents of practically every studio/genre. Why is that some torrents are quickly taken down while others stay there for years? I can't believe other studios don't use the DMCA and associated features. What's the real philosophy here? One can't find MuscleBearPorn or StudFist videos, for example, and these are not major studios either. Hot House Club Inferno, Lucas, MEN and dozens of other big shots' videos are easily available. What gives?

GayTorrent.ru is taking down all torrents for which it receives a valid DMCA Takedown Notice with links to the concerned torrents.
Please read the DMCA page in the menu band for details about GayTorrent.ru's procedures concerning alleged copyright infringement takedowns.

Thanks. But my question was why? Torrents are illegal to begin with and we all are culprits. What's the real purpose of DMCA and stuff? I don't believe there should be any ban or taking down at all.

Torrents are not illegal to begin with. You start with a wrong assumption.

What you should understand is that when torrents are taken down it because the site has been issued a legal notification alleged copyright infringement, such notice containing the needed information to prove that the torrent in question is their legal property. The site does notify the uploader of the notice and gives the uploader an opportunity to refute this claim, in which case the torrent is (if the uploader sends the needed proof that the torrent in question actually belongs to them) then put back up so other members can again download.
Failing to get confirmation from the member who uploaded the torrent in the first place that it is their legal property, the site has no option but to remove the material in question. Failing to do so can result in the site being sued along with the member who uploaded the material. The end result would be that the site would end up being sued out of existence, resulting in all torrents no longer being available for anyone to be able to download. I know it is frustrating when this happens (from personal experience), but I would rather loss one torrent than the entire site and I suspect you would agree with that?

Thanks for the detailed response. It does make some sense now.
