Someone Is Stealing Tracker Songs and Selling Them

I think they were just artistic flourishes added by the tracker groups, crackers, etc.

I think "Tracker" is the name for a service that keeps track of p2p links. Some trackers are/were extremely exclusive and tight-knit with interviews and quizes to get in. You also had to work hard to maintain an upload/download ratio. Some, like thepiratebay are open and simply highlight quality downloads.

What.CD was a legendary private tracker if you want to look further into it.

Actually it's a type of sequencer used to make music for sound chips.

Nope, it’s about a type of music software rooted in the demo scene, with overlaps with the cracking scene: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_tracker

Wow, that's the first result on google. I've been noticing a trend of mental laziness in myself in the past few months.

Time to do something about it.
