Don't talk to me in legalese. I'm not a judge nor a lawyer. I'm not a policeman or a law enforcement agent of any type.
We all know what TPB is for.
We all know what TPB is for.
Google indexes both legal and illegal content, and the same goes for TPB. Some examples:
Legal: https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/14396611/ubuntu-16.04-deskt...
Illegal: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=game+of+thrones+s06e07+goo...
Illegal: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=1080p+google+docs
The difference is that the DMCA says it's okay as long as you take it down when you get a DMCA notice, which Google, but not TPB, does.
I realize that the idea that something is out of reach of US supremacy is a tough pill to swallow for some kinds of people, but come on.
What they claim is irrelevant.
Do you really think the DMCA embodies some universal moral code? That's the only way what you're saying would make any sense.
I'm not sure you even understand why someone would object to this, so I don't think we need to discuss this any further.
Their response to "take down links to this hash" is "you don't own that hash" which is true.
Which has not been established by any precedent yet, as far as I've been able to tell.

That's not the responses they've given before. (see http://beebulletin.com/hilarious-pirate-bay-legal-responses/)
Those hashes are not what they have ownership of.
Now if you meant hat they want to expand that law... well yes, but that's different.
And maybe that you seem to not be aware of the legal content available on TPB.
