Uh, it doesn't matter where it's licensed, it only matters who licensed it.

If you stop the torrent and then re-active it, it should be dead.

When a series gets licensed staff de-activates the torrent download link and the search results for said torrent get blanked, but they leave the torrent upload page intact. They started doing that at least a year ago IIRC. You can only find those pages via Google and such.

So the activity you still have must be from leechers that activated the torrent download before this was licensed.

The torrent has been removed from the site, so you can no longer download the torrent file, but the torrent itself should still work if you still have it. There are many torrents like that. Don't quote me on this, because this is just my theory, but I think it's so people who are still downloading the torrent can complete it so the bandwidth they have used already is not wasted, while still keeping people from (starting) downloading the torrent.
