    Torrents of all kinds can be easily tracked and its users be sued because they do not only consume but also distribute.

    One-Click-Hosters and Streamingz-Sites on the other side are hard to track and their users don’t distribute.

    At least by German Law it is mostly “we only care about distribution, not consumption”. The later has an estimated damage of $1 per case, that is not even petty crime. Distribution on the other hand often is handled at $1000/case… I think there was not a single case of a Streamingz-User being prosecuted but already millions of Torrent-Users.
