The lawsuit did not initially mention the site's operator, Edward Webber; instead, the suit was filed against a set of people named "John Doe" to be identified at a later point. Loki Torrent's popularity had increased dramatically in recent days after the prominent BitTorrent site SuprNova.org shut down in a preemptive move to avoid a lawsuit.
The article doesn't say what the lawsuit is about, but it does involve a torrent site and mentions several others and these sites are primarily used for filesharing and media piracy. So it may or may not be about that. I think the system had difficulty with this because outside of the article it might not know what a torrent site is.
