why no intellectual property on any trackers??
Why is there no truly useful effective, useful information able to be found on torrent tracker sites? Besides being a translator, I like to play around with diverse areas engineering, mining, medical field, computer theory, etc. as one of my many hobbies. What I’m doing is going for the engineering portion is going through all of there courses that are listed on their curriculum page and finishing them. For example, for mechanical engineering, all the required courses to obtain a degree in mechanical engineering from MIT are listed here:
http://web.mit.edu/catalog/degre.engin.ch2.html
I’m getting all the textbooks for the courses and reading them ensuring that I understand their contents before I move on to the next course. After I finish all the courses, I should be ready to take engineer’s licensing exam(s). But even after all that, I will NOT be able to simply build a high-end car since I don’t have the proprietary information for the particular automobile I wish to build. I understand that this is super secret information but I thought that this is what super elite trackers are all about. Almost all of the highest super secret trackers deal with entertainment instead of this type of useful information. Your thoughts on this?
I may simply be rambling on account of my frustration that I’m not privvy to the aforementioned data but notwithstanding this fact I’m still interested in your thoughts on these musings.
Re: why no intellectual property on any trackers??
In order for something to be shared, there must be a source, an uploader, and people interested in the material. There is also a bit of risk vs reward at play here.
1. Not many people would have access, or ability to hack into manufacturing companies' computers
2. Not many people would care about the info
3. There would be potential REAL damages (vs the bullshit, exaggerated claims of the entertainment Industries) and jail time
In short, most p2p users are 15-25 years old, and want media because they are bored. If someone wants to get into corporate espionage, they are more than likely going to get paid large amounts of money for doing this. It would also put the site(s)/owner(s) IN DANGER FOR HOSTING SUCH FILES...

It's a shame more people aren't interested in information like that. They'd rather be entertained than actually taught or offered something useful.

Depends on the what exactly is being shared. I don't see what harm would be brought about by distributing the blueprints, intricate details that would enable a hobbyist engineer to build his own custom McLaren. The potential aggravation from auto manufacturers' is analogous to the same BS you mention in regards to the entertainment industry.

Maybe... But it seems like the same thing to me. The movie industry is bigger than the auto industry. (just to give an example)

You'll have a different perspective if you 'rightly' owned the intellectual property. Morally correct and The Law are two different things.

Huh? Do you not participate in the pirating of property rightly owned by authors and others? There is no difference.

Oh ok. Oops. So, you don't download illegal files or engage in torrenting in any way, form, or fashion. My mistake. *shy* That's what I get for assuming. :P
Well, since you aren't engaged in "our world" then, yes, I do suppose you have a point. If my livelihood depended on the sales of my work then yes I would, in fact, have a different feeling about this. Nevertheless, life is what it is. Besides, I don't think I would sell my product for outrageously exorbitant prices. (easier said than done but still...)
Edit: I just checked your post history. So, yeah, just like I thought. You = Dishonest! (or in denial) You do, or rather according to your past posts here, have engaged in the illegal filesharing of things that are not yours to share 'rightly'.

Oh,So just because you are interested in something means others should also be interested in the same stuff?
Re: why no intellectual property on any trackers??
@AbyBeats - Huh? I never implied that other people SHOULD be interested in what I like. I'm merely lamenting the fact they seemingly don't share the same enthusiasm for learning the same things that I enjoy to learn. To each their own... The purpose of this thread is to gauge the possibility of sparking interest in the dissemination of IP in the torrent world. Also, to find out the history of said information. It is not to down anyone or their interests.

So you are lamenting and at the same time you are assuming that people only download stuff for entertainment and you are placing yourself to be better than others because they dont share the same area of interest as you (?)
