Blockchain Idea: Blockchain based torrent tracker

Good ideas to be reused although, as you note, the full scenario seems fraught ... as the blockchain is not only an accounting machine (main functionality you use here) but also a hard to erase memory ... so if the copyright owner does not agree with some past behaviour, he can track past exchanges of files he owns and chase down the seeders ... with hard-to-predict legal consequences ...

Yes, this is actually very hard to deal with, and a very actual debat.
The decentralized constraint I wanted to deal with doesn't allow a lot of control on what is shared.
It could be solved by adding moderators who deletes copyrighted contents (which doesn't leave a lot of content) or by the centralization of the whole system, a digital marketplace like any other one who doesn't need big storage servers to let their user download.
Thanks for reading and for your review !
