    There are hundreds of trackers and thousands of people have donated. I have never heard of a problem with that kind of security issue.

    Possible solution...donate to trackers where you know and trust the staff. Those are the ones I will support.

    And you are saying ur mom didn't name you f5ZB40?

    Not if you use a pre paid gift card or a friends CC if concerned about that. I trust certain staff to be mature enough not to screw with any donors information. That would destroy the trackers reputation, nobody would ever donate again if it was a problem.

    If a member really likes a site then I see no problem in donating if you have the money.

    Edit: Btw could get in trouble either way, would not be from donating to a tracker. I don't think.
    Jail over a few downloads, please.
    Maybe a fine which would hurt more than jail.

    P2L as a reason to donate is really not worth it. It's much better to spend that money on a seedbox, which will help all your other torrent sites too.

    Ofc, you can look at the amount donated as a gift to perpetuate the tracker (and we all hope that it will do just that).

    However, the donation can also be seen as a thank you for all of the enjoyment and efforts that we have already received.

    I do not believe fear that a tracker will eventually fail (close its doors) is a fair reason to not donate. If everyone thinks that way, all trackers will eventually have to close or be entirely supported by owners/staff. That just isn't fair in my book.

    And remember, you do not have to donate such a large amount. It's great if you can afford that kind of generosity, but many trackers have donation buttons starting at $5. How far would that go towards a [pick whatever kind of entertainment you receive from your favorite tracker and imagine that it's gone].

    If my broke, Ramen eating, grad-school goin', twins due in March, ass can afford to donate, I think most people can.
