Was it required to be unique? Plenty of private file sharing sites enforce seeding/sharing as well.

- leoc 10y agoIn this case there's presumably the added 'advantage' that by uploading CP you're incriminating yourself, which probably gives the site admin more confidence that you're not a police officer or a likely informer (not that that seems to have stopped the FBI). Not unlike like, say, having to assassinate someone for the Mafia before you can be considered for full membership. Other than that, the overall dynamic seems like it could be disturbingly familiar to ordinary, (comparatively-at-least) decent file-sharing scenes all right, with leeches, seeders and so on.
- cup 10y agoYes. If you read the foi documents they had tasks that were required to be shown in the new material. It's sick.
- mcbits 10y agoDid the FBI lift these requirements or close down new registrations entirely when they ran the sites? If not, it would make them culpable for more than "just" continuing to host existing content.
