Meta argues that it's fair use, and that they just downloaded, and never seeded, all the torrents.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoSeeding and downloading are in the same protocol. You can't do one without the other
- HDThoreaun 2y agoWhy comment if you have no idea what youre talking about?
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoI've written my own torrent clients. Have you?
- HDThoreaun 2y agoclearly not good ones
- tredre3 2y agoSo have I. So we both know that it's possible to not seed a torrent while downloading it. It's even possible to pretend to seed whilst not transferring anything, just to boost your ratio on a private tracker. That's the protocol we're talking about.
- TheJoeMan 2y agoThe article is purposely conflating the downloading from the seeding statistics. Saying "just 0.008%" the size resulted in big punishments is confusing when Meta is also saying they set their client to be leechers.
- larodi 2y agoNo they never seeded the essence of it ALL :;))
- qiqitori 2y agoThey have so much bandwidth and never seeded anything? Damn leechers! That is not fair use of torrents at all!
