YourBittorrent uses automated software to search the Internet for host file information and does not actively oversee what is indexed in its database. With a lack of oversight, the site hosts some torrents which allow users to access software, movies, music and other items under which are under copyright and thus illegal to distribute publicly,[3] though the files themselves remain on other servers. Illegal trackers are removed by the site when a request is made by a legitimate party.[4]
