Why do torrent sites lose their PayPal all the time?

there are numerous reasons for that but all that reasons tunnel down to the one common root of illegality

I really think paypal should not be giving money back from donations. Donations are to help whoever or whatever you are donating to. There is no service or item you get from donating except that trackers add an incentive like added upload and being exempt from a ban from low ratio etc. Yes ScottK they could do that but when you use paypal to sell goods and services paypal takes a piece of the pie, with donations I don't think they do.

Torrent sites are illegal, the torrent sites we are using they do not have the legal rights to make a connection between lots of p2p bittorrent user to share the copyrighted content between them. illegality is the main issue of a torrent site for losing their paypal account.

Torrent sites per se aren't illegal, just like the BitTorrent protocol and its clients are not, either. It'd be the fact copyrighted content is or can be distributed using the tracker that's illegal (and this may depend on each country's laws), but try telling PayPal all that. :idunno:

ahh, that was my mistake, it would be " legal" instead of "illegal"

So if I donated money to the Salvation Army for a tax deduction could I make a claim to get my money back months later :P

it's legal work. people like you and me wouldn't understand.

^^^ I dont know is there any tracker available who has the legal rights for distributing the copyrighted content over the bittorrent protocol but if any tracker available with legal rights then you need to spent money for signup and downloading.
