I keep reading in many threads such as this on tracking sites and search engines and the like that since tracking sites provide the means for people to infringe they are (pick your word, evil, illegal, immoral) isn't that a matter of point of view? Yes a tracking site makes it easy to find infringing content. Try another viewpoint, a traking site aids in the finding of illegal content and those sharing it. Why... we have it all wrong! It CAN be used to infringe, it also CAN be used to find the infringers... OMG, tracking sites help to find infringers! They are, therefor, paragons of virtue and upright stalwart internet citizens! Why they should be rewarded a medal of honor for their efforts by the XIAA!
Gee, point of view makes a world of difference doesn't it?
The tracking site is neutral, neither evil or righteous.
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by javajedi.
So is it point of view then?
