YourBittorrent is a file sharing website founded as myBittorrent in 2003, the new site yourBittorrent is the result of a split in ownership in 2009. The site is a torrent tracking website for the P2P BitTorrent network. As such it does not host files, but hosts information about the ''location'' of these files in an indexed torrent file.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Slyck News - myBittorrent Expands Lineup )〕 These torrent files are read by a client located on an individual's computer. yourBittorrent uses automated software to search the Internet for host file information and does not actively oversee what is indexed in its database. With a lack of oversight, the site hosts some torrents which allow users to access software, movies, music and other items under which are under copyright and thus illegal to publicly distribute,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Poisoned Torrents Plague Mybittorrent - Slashdot )〕 though the files themselves remain on other servers. Illegal trackers are removed by the site when a request is made by a legitimate party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=YourBittorrent - Legal )〕 ==Kidnap== myBittorrent (Currently known as yourBittorrent) was the first BitTorrent site that has ever been "kidnapped" by its registrar. The website went down on 10 January 2006 for alleged violation of the registrar's abuse policy. myBittorrent was given two options in an email sent by GoDaddy, neither of which included an appeal process. The myBittorrent administration sent several emails trying to resolve the issue, but GoDaddy refused to respond until the myBittorrent administration told GoDaddy that they were going to take legal measures. Not long after that email was sent, GoDaddy fully restored the suspended account.〔 Dead link as of April 17, 2008.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「YourBittorrent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
