This is the 2nd notice regarding this material. Upon receiving the 1st notice I immediately unpublished the torrent (in DrupalSpeak: the node). I wrote the Drupal Torrent module code so that torrent nodes which are unpublished cannot be uploaded again. This is extra protection for the copyright holder, so they want me to unpublish instead of delete a torrent node.
The problem with the last few technically illiterate and/or incompetent people is that the links they were pointing to were still visible even though the node was unpublished. This means that there was no access to the torrent file, and also that the tracker refuses to track that torrent. Yet because they saw an info or content page, they mistakenly assumed it was possible to download the torrent file itself. Not true. Pure laziness or I-Don't-Give-A-Fuckness on their part.
Rather than waste time trying to point out to these obviously incompetent people that ConCen is no longer hosting a torrent of their work, I wrote more code that blocks access to any of the content, info, or tracker tabs of an unpublished torrent node. Best of both worlds, because now I don't have to delete a node to get them off my back.
Does any of this make sense? Do you even give a shit? Probably not. Just remember you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone...
