The torrent is here if anyone wants to take a peek (for research / meta data purposes only of course)

If anyone needs to only download and not seed the torrent at all (to avoid potential copyright infringement action), there's a patch for libtorrent available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160625100706/citylight.thinkba....
I'm using this with the latest stable libtorrent and rtorrent releases and it's working great so far. Getting around 100 MB/s download rate from the swarm.
It is illegal to initially steal data.
But can you clarify which law would be violated by downloading it? And by "illegal" do you mean civil or criminal law?
DO NOT POST THE MAGNET LINKS IN THIS THREAD
Feel free to discuss this for what it is, news about a data leak.
As per rule 1 'Search the Internet.....' a quick search will give you the data should you want it, understand however that this is stolen data and should it be what is described the torrent will likely be peer logged and addresses handed to the relevant authorities should Twitch wish to pursue legal action against those sharing it.

Sorry if I was incorrect about the validity of the warning
I'm not sure what "at a baseline" means. If you know of other specific legal violations then name them, so we can discuss it.
That's inaccurate. You can configure if you're providing upload capacity, but other peers can penalize you for that.
> good luck proofing in court that you did that.
That isn't how the legal system works. They have to prove you uploaded since that is the infringement at the core of their suite. The emphasis is on them to prove both infringement, responsibility, and monetary damages.
Which brings us back to my earlier point which so far hasn't been answered: They have to show damages to successfully sue you in a civil court. How do they show damages here?
