I'm dumb. I don't say I know how torrent sites work, but I was just thinking about how someone pays their bandwidth bills. Doesn't one who starts a torrent site have to front a bunch of bandwidth to start disseminating content through the peers? Isn't there still a cost to maintaining the "front" of a torrent site?
There must be a cost and there must be a benefit.
I own nothing, yet I can see someone / some people pay the bills for such sites, and I'm sure much comes from hidden sponsor deals with affiliates. Rapists aside, you're usually a point of wisdom in such arguments. Please be a point of wisdom rather than trying argument-style.
