Are they legally required? Why would they then.
Apple on the other hand...
There is nothing about torrent apps in DMA.

Here's what I found after asking chatgpt:
In the US, Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, Section 512
In the EU, E-Commerce Directive (2000/31/EC), Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive (2019/790/EU, “DSM Directive”), Digital Services Act (DSA).
Additionally specific countries each have their own laws on the matter.
DMCA would require something like a torrent tracker to respond to specific takedown requests in the prescribed manner. It has zero relevance to a torrent client.
Asking what?
Why would the DMCA apply to an app store hosting torrent download apps?
And that's not even the case there. Its like claiming Microsoft is somehow responsible for someone downloading a torrent app.
Silly...
