yakamo k on Meedium wrote two small postings about the usage of #
OpenPGP keyservers as a storage for #
torrent magnetic links. In his posting "
SKS keyservers being used as piracy sites" he wrote:
The most interesting is the use of Magent Links in UID’s, i found one old magnet link that did not work, and a small collection of links that appeared to still be active.
I suppose its a pretty clever way to use the keyservers as the data is distributed automatically and cannot be removed. A pirates wet dream!
Three days later he
noted that there was a
small discussion on the sks-devel mailinglist on this topic. #
openSUSE evaluates this new situation:
This might be a copyright problem for organizations and companies running SKS keyservers and I have an evaluation ongoing if openSUSE can still provide an SKS keyserver if we face this issue.
