    If instead of a giant omnibus torrent they put a folder structure on IPFS, it would be essentially a fully available streaming Spotify clone with the ability for people to “pin” tracks or albums or artists to have them stay locally on their device…

    Just saying…

    One day (communities, localities or government libraries) will again host public goods information with free access. Fighting intellectual monopoly is fighting for the return of local libraries (just the modern ones).

    The absurdity that western governments fight archivists is beyond insane. They should be helping to distribute and host the data.

    The half life of data is getting worse not better in the digital age. These pirates are doing the work of the public good and being vilified.
