Google and Torrents

Here's an interesting use of Google, as reported on unmediated -- finding torrent files that are associated with lots of illegal content. Using Google's file type search -- filetype: torrent Illegal Content -- you can search and find torrents. If you know the torrent hash for the file you're looking for, you can also search for that -- and it works. Drazen @ unmediated suggests that this may be a way of using Google to find those who pirate illegal content. Interesting.
