I guess you will have to pay so you can download pirated stuff for free.

For the record, such sites exist. I was a mod at one small tracker before. I resigned when they decided to make the members pay.

Although this is current news and therefore valid discussion, can we refrain from posting direct links or using the URL tag for torrent sites please.  

Altering the "tt" to "**" in the site address will be fine though.

I want to know, whats the use of paying for pirated material?
Then it just becomes another business for someone charging you for things they get free.
Oh wait,, thats typical business in America isnt it?

It's still cheaper to pay $50 a year then it is to pay retail for the content I download.  But I still consider TPB as sellouts.  Would I have done differently?  I dunno...that's a lot of cash.
