myBittorrent is an automated website, using the Google API to find BitTorrent websites on the internet. These websites are then crawled by bots and information about their files saved to the myBittorrent.com database[1]. This is an automated process and myBittorrent.com has no control over what is indexed[2].
[edit] Kidnap
myBittorrent is the first BitTorrent site that has been "kidnapped" by its registrar. The website went down on 10 January 2006 for alleged violation of the registrar's abuse policy. myBittorrent was given two choices in an e-mail sent by GoDaddy, neither of which included an appeal process. The myBittorrent Administration sent several e-mails trying to resolve the issue, but GoDaddy refused to respond until the myBittorrent Administration told GoDaddy that they were going to take legal measures. Not long after that email was sent, GoDaddy fully restored the suspended account.[3][4]
