So I saw this post here a couple days ago about music piracy and got interested in soulseek. I’ve installed nicotine in a docker container and started searching for some music. I’ve found some pretty hard to find music and this album my father used to have in vynil when I was a kid. Cool. But the files had PRIVATE written on them… Tried to download but the user did not share them with me. My question is: what’s the point of sharing folders in a p2p program and denying access to these folders? I mean…just don’t share it if you won’t let anybody download it. Am I missing something in order to download this album?

    Yeah I don’t even have a large collection but I’ve seen some jazz albums locked that are pretty easy to get by torrenting. If I don’t wanna share something I’d just keep it in a different folder…anyway, I found nicotine awesome and plan to spend some time looking for new unlocked stuff…thanks
