    I would think they would be better about it because private tracker accounts cost money and big companies don’t have infinite resources to fight piracy, they can’t get every tracker.

      private tracker accounts cost money

      No, those are ‘semi private’ the ones you can buy into aren’t really ‘private trackers’.
      The ones that are near impossible to get into without knowing someone are the ones that are actually private.

      They do have infinite resources (a lot of money) relative to the difficulty and expense of getting into a private tracker (not a lot of money). If you are in a jurisdiction where seeding is an offense, it is only a matter of enforcement priorities whether users who leak their ip address get targeted.

        Sure but there are a lot of private trackers

        I don’t disagree that you should treat any torrenting site as compromisee
