But don't you see it as wrong to use someone's material if they don't want it to be, any longer? Don't misunderstand me, I'm all for the torrent staying up on the tracker for 7-8 years, but there has to be a limit. I haven't uploaded a torrent in years, but I'm sure that when the time comes, and a place pisses me off enough, I wouldn't like a place that doesn't appreciate me to continue using that which I have given to them by effort/time/money etc. I can understand the logic behind deleting one's own material, just as I can understand the logic behind forbidding it.
I honestly don't think there's a completely fair solution, perhaps on places like BCG/HDBits it could be reworked into a "I'm giving people a 2 week notice, after which I'm deleting my torrents, upload your own or lose the material forever, because I don't feel like sharing here any longer". Shouldn't the uploaders work be his own, and shouldn't he have the rights to do whatever he wants to it?
