Were any of the 24 albums, 9 movies and 4 games downloaded directly from the Pirate Bay's servers? No. The pigopolists continue to insist that torrent site operators have the copyrighted files. This is incorrect. It is the individual users that have the pieces or the entire file of the content in question. The torrent tracker just gives you a hash code that allows users to upload and download the file from each other. It is never stored on the torrent site's servers.
