    Seems a bit short sighted. There are some games, movies and TV shows that simply don’t exist to buy legally or even second hand.

    Torrenting is the only way in some instances to preserve content.

      Also as long as no illegal content is shared, but is only referred to, there isn’t really anything illegal about it right?

      Yep, I don’t torrent that often, and when I do it’s usually because something is out of print and all the publicly available scans I can find online are really shitty. The torrents more often than not have pretty decent quality.

        Interesting, I’m fan of 1970-80 European comics, I’d love a torrent aggregator feeding scans from that era…

          Depending on what exactly you’re looking for, they’re probably out there, it’s just a matter of finding them, and then hoping there’s enough seeders to get it to download. The last thing I went searching for took me nearly a week to find, and then another half week to wait for someone to get online to seed it from, but I was determined lol
