itunes releasers?

If HDB releasers really wanted privacy they would release on something private like usenet instead of what is essentially a pay-to-join site.
 
What you choose to host/leech from trackers/usenet is up to you. As I said, you're paying for a service to binaries/txt whether they're warez or open source is irrelevant.


Does it really matter how much profit a organization makes? The 'millions of dollars' isn't profit it's gross margin - how do you think the likes of Astraweb can have 700+days retention?

Not being smart and then being happy you don't know anything is something that's pretty strange. Congrats at being the laughing stock of this site for basically devoting all your free time to posting useless comments. 12,000 useless comments is really a spectacular achievement. Again you should probably go die.

I glad that in your contriteness of being able to manage to do what any semi-trained simian could , you are also able to glean that I'm "not smart".
As for the rest of your on the other hand not useless post ,you are repeating yourself on both calling me a laughing stock and wishing me dead.
I am sincerely sorry that your otherwise abundantly apparent intelligence doesn't also extend as far as either originality or humour.They are as far as I can tell the only things lacking in your otherwise sterling character.

Btw Just my guess but I don't think your mom if she happens to see this when you are off lighting puppies on fire would approve of you wishing anyone dead.
Of course I could be wrong because somehow in my illiteracy I seem to recall the phrase " The apple ( the fruit metaphor being ironically apt in your case) doesn't fall far from the tree"

Apologies to semi-trained simians for the negative comparison btw.
And to you mom for ...well you know.

I'm afraid that I don't understand your point ,that hdbits is supposed to be looked up to because they feel somehow it is their right not to share files ?
Geez some people will buy into anything if they think that it somehow makes them elite.:mellow:

ofc you didn't understood my point, you just came with the same thoughts and attitude from "imagine" thread and apparently never paid attention to what exactly i wrote. ;)
 
Polarbear you don't know what you're talking about. If there was a decent profit margin to be had in newsgroups, those big providers would be getting undercut by another provider until the profit margin disappeared. There is no monopoly market in newsgroups and I highly doubt all the providers are colluding together, since this is the internet we're talking about and anyone can just step into the business.

Also, you're paying for the convenience of the service and not for the warez themselves. With that mindset, everyone would be paying for warez by buying seedboxes or subscribing to an isp :rolleyes:

Its not stolen, we actually buy our own shit.

If someone is caught sharing the files on another site they will be banned instantly because it is original content that is not to be shared since it is bought by the people on the site. The only thing that is agreed upon is uploading to usenet for everybody to have access to it, uploading to another private site is not allowed.

It was a just turn of phrase.OK have it your way copyright infringement then.Point being as with your second paragraph it's incredibly hypocritical of anyone to do something themselves (take someone else's work and against their wishes surreptitiously distribute it) and then immediately turn around and tell people ( I assume with a sense of moral impunity ) that they can't do the same thing themselves.

And yes I know you don't care because you are always right and yadda yadda yadda.
Seriously if you want to call a spade a spade then the only reason that you buy and re-encode this "shit' is not from some heartfelt need to "share" (obviously) but rather so that you can then go on sites like HDbits and pretend that you are important .

Ofc I didn't understood your point because like the proceeding mess of a sentence it also wasn't very decipherable .
Just let me say that while I might indeed "have attitude" I am hardly alone in that respect .Mine (hopefully) at least is a little less conveniently prejudicial in it's foundation.

Btw I probably "came with the same thoughts"( although I didn't .You obviously didn't understood my point) because that's how I actually feel .:mellow:

Nobody on the tracker cares about that shit and more importantly they don't care about anybody not on the site. That's where the divide is, people on forums like this take it so personally even though they are not even on the tracker as if their opinion matters.

For the record, I'm a member on HDBits.org and I agree with most everything Abybeats/Idoleyes have said here. Rules keeping warez exclusive are unnecessary and hypocritical, especially when it's about an encode of video/music.
 
Also what seems to be forgotten is that it's a service that used to be free (and still is with ipv6). Due to some legal bullshit and ISPs willingness to drop support (US scenario), there's no longer free access to usenet binaries. You forget that usenet isn't just one thing, you can nearly find anything you're looking for, e.g. a specific version number of a program when the website doesn't even provide access to it anymore. Badass bandwidth isn't free, somebody's going to be paying for it, it's just not your ISP anymore. I think everyone reiterated this point. I don't get anything warez off usenet, it's cliche to even suggest that.
 
Its not a warez site or a scene site where the files are common and have no direct link to the uploader, that's all 2nd hand. 90% of the files on the site are original content that you can't find anywhere else that has been bought by members.

The only other trackers I can compare it to are What.cd and Waffles. Most of the stuff on those sites are user created which is what makes them so great and have so much content.
