Re: donors-have any of you have donated to pirate bay?
I would definitely donate to TPB... if I had the cash.
Luckily that cash is coming real soon thanks to this new job. :p

Hit n runs do not show the true spirit of file sharing.
Nor do mislabeled torrents or viruses you may download.
Nor the fact that thousands of people will download a torrent and there will not be a single "thank you" anywhere to be seen.
I support private trackers not only because of the tracker or the people who run it, but because of all the users.
I'm not saying everyone who uses TPB is bad, there are people who share their files just to share them - not to get upload credit, not to get thanked, and they risk being targeted by anti-piracy groups and there are people who seed long after a 1.0 ratio but these people get taken advantage of, and I don't support that.
Sure I like TPB, I completely respect those who run it, they've done something amazing for the file-sharing world, but I would rather invest my money somewhere else that needs it. (In reference to TidusBlade's post.)
The "true spirit" of filesharing? Well thats very debatabble but I can say this they are not some uber elitist bunch of pricks like some Private sites can be it is fee to all and that IMO IS the spirit of File sharing. You are right about the behavior of the people, but Those are the people there and not all of them, I also think they should implement a ratio system there to "clean up" their site a bit, but overall I think the Idea that all is free to everyone should be something to examine

Re: donors-have any of you have donated to pirate bay?
I also only donate to sites I use very regularly...plus I think that the pirate bay is a little to crazy for my tastes...i'de rather keep things on the DL, but all they want to do is run onto the battlefield! Good luck to them, I respect what they stand for, just not always how they go about achieving things
