Parasites.
they did define themselves as leeches recently
Wait, what? I missed that, do you have a link?
They stated they didn't break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn't seed any.
Torrents are downloaded by "leeches" and put out for download by "seeders"
A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you're not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don't seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you're called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn't seed.
So they're stating "we didn't break the law, we're just leeches!"
I've run into an issue lately where nearly everything I torrent is from IA, who has 2 webseeds. I can sit there seeding for weeks and still be at a 0.0 ratio
Ahh, gotcha, thanks. Not the leaches I had in mind, but funny that they said that regardless.
