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

    Decent but not in size. Not for those long seed times with big sizes.
    500gb at best at the price.
    And good luck getting seedboxes with unlimited upload

      I have seen seedboxes with 3, or maybe 4TB of storage under $10 (don’t remember). And that’s recent (about a month ago). Yes, unlimited uploads are definitely an issue. Such cases are best combated with buying an IPv6 slot and putting that on a VPS with a provider friendly to such things (they exist at reasonable prices)

        Not if you want public trackers well.
        But your point about ipv6 sounds interesting. Care to elaborate?

          There are providers who are OK with public trackers and don’t care about DMCAs.

          In principle, torrenting over IPv6 is the same as doing it over IPv4, it’s just that there’s a lot of IPv6 addresses so you might find it cheaper to buy IPv6. Yes there are some differences in the technology but from purely an operational POV, it’s not very different.

          The reason I mentioned bringing your own IPs is related to the reason why providers don’t like public torrents: it pollutes their IP space and puts their IP ranges on blacklists. But if you bring your own IPs, suddenly the provider (in theory) is safe and doesn’t care as much. YMMV of course, send an email to your provider of choice to ask more.

            bring your own IP? Don’t you need to register as someone with a node and do BGP routing protocols (forgot the specific terms for the objects)
