Torrent websites tried to use the same defense and it didn’t work, unfortunately IMO.

Personally I think information should be free.

What do you mean? Torrents are legal in many jurisdictions around the world.

How do you feel about DMCA being used to takedown NFTs via Google and Cloudflare, in some cases against the original artist?

I mean in many countries torrent search/website operators were prosecuted despite only hosting links/metadata. e.g. People involved with The Pirate Bay.

I feel bad about DMCA being used at all.

I don’t want anyone prosecuted for sharing information. I’m just mentioning that the “it’s just links” defense might not hold up, based on prior events.
