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.

Right but different countries different rules. If Isohunt is hosted in Canada it isnt subject to the same rules as napster. I didnt know it was hosted in Canada but without actual seach testing it appears at least the public host is in Toronto. I doubt its actually hosted in TO, rather just using Canada as a mim host but...
