Does Watt have the copyright to the torrent as well?  If not, then you are not hosting material that is his copyright. Come to think of it, your tracker is running on your personal hardware and your internet connection. DynDNS provide nothing more than name services, so what business of theirs is it?

That thought also crossed my mind, if you could please suggest a new register, it would be greatly appreciated.

They do say in their T&Cs that they equate running a tracker with torrents of copyrighted material to be the equivalent of actually serving up that copyrighted material. However, whether this is legally enforceable is another matter entirely. I don't know of any other name server providers that would approach the matter any differently.
