    Default torrent web host - legal issues?

    Does anyone KNOW any webhost free or paid, that has no problem hosting a torrent website?
    I have a website that lists ILLEGAL torrents mainly such as movies, applications etc. I have no .torrent files on my website, just links to them. For example I have a movie description and picture, and I link to the related page in mininova or piratebay that hosts the torrent.

    Please answer with something usefull. Do not answer like this :
    -If the files are legal why not?
    -I dreamt that in some countries torrents are illegal but I am not sure
    -You should buy the original movies
    etc..

    My question is clear, Any torrent host that has no problem with this kind of sites.

    There is no host that does not state clearly that, illegal items are not allowed... but.. most paid hosts don't care as long as they get paid... and nobody bothers them...

    i.e. you can go get a decent paid host, make your site.. and they will not say anything... but as soon as any organizations or visitors report your site as illegal or spam then they will sent out a warning letter to remove those contents from you....

    hey you can use my hosting service... as far as I am concerned... I don't care... but can't guarantee of other guys...

    You will only get in trouble, if your site becomes very popular I mean... really really popular..
    Where from, Why here, Where to..?
    May god bless, who he wishes to bless!!

    Torrent files are perfectly legal. The files that reside across the Internet that they point to are not always however. This issue have been in and out of the courts many times (in the US at least). Downloading a torrent from mininova or thepiratebay is no more illegal than downloading any other text file given to you by the writer or authorized distributor. When a torrent file is coupled with a download client, such as utorrent , etc... You are then downloading the actual file that the "torrent" is designed to scour the network for pieces of. mininova did not break the law, thepiratebay did not break the law, but you might have. There is one one single movie or music file on these websites, only torrents, a simple text file that searches the internet for pieces of files that reside elsewhere.
