Okay well, demanding ethical piracy from everyone except for the piracy that you use is pretty NIMBY of you.

And anyway, I'm not sure why you're being downvoted! This humorless website...

I'm not demanding ethical privacy, I just understand why they were shut down.

It's a bummer for humanity, but the people running z-lib should have known what they were getting into by charging for a fast lane.

Buying ratio is the same as charging for a fast lane.

And selling ratio opens a private tracker to legal issues far beyond where they would be if they didn't.

My tracker gives you points based on site and IRC activity which you can use to buy invites and ratio.

Donation gives your username a different colour in the shoutbox. I think you can pick colour if you donate enough.

This isn't a counter argument
