Well, I can only speak for myself (notice the words "to me"). And really unless anyone here is the person uploading to a torrent site, it's all speculation as to what motivates said person to do it. Just as I am assuming they get "nothing" for it, others are assuming they get some sort of feel good thing. But unless one of us is actually doing the uploading we're all writing fiction. They could be deranged, against government, getting paid, doing it for malice, doing it for the sheer joy of scanning copies...
My only real point was that it boggles MY mind that anyone would bother.
