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

Can I introduce you to soulseek? I promise it's going to serve way better than torrents for that kind of stuff.

soulseek

I have heard of it, but admittingly know very little about it and its strengths. After a quick search there's a package for my Linux distro so I'll install it when I got some time to deep dive it and get an understanding.

Thank you tho I will have a good look later tonight. If there's anything you think I should read/watch regarding Soulseek shoot it through. Nonetheless I'll continue to seed regardless if I stick with Soulseek.
