- crazygringo 1y agoThis article is about someone running a tracker site, not just downloading. Regardless of what you think of the ethics of pirating, they are completely different things. Meta never ran a tracker. It's like the difference between being a drug user vs. a drug dealer. (And I'm not taking a stance on drugs either.) There's just no comparison with Meta here.
