A niche band from Asia I loved as a teenager disbanded in the early 2000s. Due to legal reasons their work is in forever limbo, no Spotify, official YouTube etc. Best you can get is 2nd hand CDs on online marketplaces for a premium.

One guy was seeding a 4GB torrent over on PirateBay from 2008 with every song, music video, numerous interviews etc. Reasons like this is why pirating needs to stay alive. Legend made me want to seed it with him longterm. Now we're 2 seeders strong.

Keep sailing pirates, and whenever possible please seed.

EDIT: For those asking the band is the Japanese band Malice Mizer. The torrent in question is https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=4158529 And I love seeing how a few of you guys know the band and getting hit by nostalgia. Enjoy

seeders who continue seeding weeks and month after the download is complete are basically mercy from overwatch

Is that not the normal? I just started sailing again recently, and I legit feel bad having to clear out an old torrent to make room for something new.

For popular stuff I stop seeding when I've uploaded 10x the download size. For other stuff I keep it uploading forever.

I felt the same, but there's just things that's forever popular. I don't mind not seeding, if there's already 200+ doing it.

But for all the niche things, and for personal favorites, I'll seed for a loooong time.
