Childish and against the spirit of piracy. Always have been.

Public trackers are shit because of freeloaders and Stremio. This is why we can't have nice things.

This is how I feel about people on soulseek who lock files, even more so the cunts that want things like bandcamp vouchers in return for accessing something they have. Cunts.

Being open to all and then shut down by police after 6 months doesn't help piracy either. The upside to closed trackers is that stuff can be archived for years.

Until it gets nuked by pigs stealing everything. A decentralised pirate catalogue based on Musicbrainz is something I want to see before I die. People diverted their efforts into vulnerable private trackers instead.

Single point of failure also. What.CD was the best vaccine against them: those naive idealists had hosting in France…
