So it would seem to me that search engines such as Torrent-Finder.com are unfairly being lumped into this category, from what you have specified is that people selling fake/knockoff items should have their storefront closed down.
FTA - "When a site has no tracker, carries no torrents, lists no copyright works unless someone searches for them and responds just like Google, accusing it of infringement becomes somewhat of a minefield – unless you’re ICE Homeland Security Investigations that is."
So dwlovell where do you draw the line? Should Homeland Security shut down google, because I can search for copyrighted materials on google and find it in a torrent? Its a very slippery slope we are treading.
Here is VZ's trick to getting around looking at anything other than bandwidth. They have a terrible EULA that basically says you can only use the internet for surfing and checking emails anything else is in violation, and if you are found in violation you will be dropped as a customer. So yes downloading any streaming video, audio, or movies is in violation of their EULA, and heres the kicker if you go over their 4 or 5 gb mark per month of usage they flag you as violating their EULA and send you "the letter" saying your service is no going to be dissconnected on X date.
