> Public, legal trackers would have NO problem with this. How can you tell that? What would make legal content more likely to be supported by the seeders? Believe me, none of the seeders ever asked themselves whether holding that data was legal or not in the decision on whether they keep it. Private trackers solve this issue by rewarding people that does keep seeding them, I guess supporting that kind of private community could allow to support older content, but there will always be an effort/gain that will be considered. For something to keep being seeded require someone to still want to seed it. There's just too much content to care about and not enough people caring about it though. People want what's new, not what's old, so they go that way instead and abandon the older things. I have no doubt that I could find a bunch of royalty free content that just can no longer be found anywhere, even with Web Archive goal to archive everything. The legality of it doesn't affect how people act with content.
