P2P & File Sharing Technology is completely legal. There are an countless number of legal uses
for content found on P2P networks (such as to comment upon, criticize or parody
a copyrighted work.). However, many of the files traded via P2P are copyrighted to their original owners
and their rights need to be respected. Check your local laws to find out when
file sharing is considered piracy in your country.
TorrentPortal is like Google™
in that it only links to .torrent metafiles and takes a cache of such files.
None of the data transferred by or stored on TorrentPortal servers is content
linked to by .torrent files.
Unless you live in Canada, downloading copyrighted material via P2P may put you at risk for a lawsuit. Canadian users are currently shielded from P2P lawsuits. Canada signed the 1997 World Intellectual Property Organization Internet Treaties, but has not yet ratified them by enacting their provisions into domestic law. Recently there has been class-action suits filed against users who copy and distribute copyrighted material
without regard for the law. The MPAA, RIAA and the governments of both England and Australia have taken several thousand users to court demanding thousands of dollars. Your ISP may, on their own judgment, give their logs of your downloading activity to those who request it.
In those situations, the more you download and share, the more risk you put yourself at.
Please keep all this in mind before you use any portion of TorrentPortal.
Know your local laws and be sure you are following them.
