Just because the law hasn't been designed to accomodate the situation presented by technologies like bit-torrent and Peer to Peer does not mean it will always be so.
So, my point: ISOHUNT and any torrent tracker site will eventually get shut down and it's owners fined for their activities.
I just hope the law doesn't bring down the technology itself.

Isohunt isn't a tracker at all. They are just a search engine that finds the torrents on other trackers. Its no different than using google to search for the torrents.
Demonid wasn't shut down at all. The just got a legal warning so they have blocked all traffic from Canada as a result. They are still running everywhere else in the world.
