I can't see the problem with having a select group of people maintaining the repository (i.e WCD users) and also distributing the content of the repository on the Internet for all.
As another commenter mentioned, GNU/Linux package management and in fact most free software projects are managed this way.
The only downside would be that maybe some of the information would be infringing copyright, even if it's just the database rather than the music itself.
- thatcat 10y ago>maybe some of the (torrent database) information would be infringing copyright. This isn't likely unless they're hosting the cover images instead of distributing them with the torrents. iirc, wcd used a separate domain to host cover images to be viewed when browsing the site.
- damson 10y agoThat's exactly the case, what.cd had its own image host (whatimg) for cover art.
