So why not consider people seeding these ebook torrents back so that it is readily available to the community a means of thanks? Obviously they care enough about the works to actively share it with thousands of other like minded people and in the process making it readily available. In addition, all the great literary works are now distributed across a huge number of people so that even if the original 'seeder' disappears it is still active. On the other hand if tomorrow, MR goes down for whatever reason, all the great work and effort put in by all the uploaders here will be in vain.
I know that torrents have gotten a bad name due to all the filesharing of copyrighted materials, but it is also a highly effective means of sharing files on the internet and it is a little surprising to see so much opposition to it.
