You're making an analogy with a google search and a bittorrent
search engine
search right?
No, I'm arguing that relying on a chain of intermediaries doesn't
mitigate the intention. Google's intention is to serve up search
results regardless of context or content. Gipirate's intention is to
connect you to illegal material, presuming you allow my assertion
about their name showing their intention.
Let's say that Giporn linked you to pages that linked you to pages
that linked you to porn. Does the fact that they distance themselves
in a strictly mechanistic manner alter the fact that their intention
is to link you to porn?
gipirate must be making *some* decision about where to send you based
on you eventually getting to pirated material.
gipirate = function (string) -> ... -> pirated material
google = function (string) -> ... -> anything
