However, downloaders can also pay a fee to download the files quicker if they want. That is how they make money. Plus, if you are one of the people that uploads files that other people download a lot then they give you free access to their quicker downloads.
There's nothing illegal about that business model.

I know how their system works because I've used their free service before. I was stealing. I guess I'm just one of those weird people who is dishonest enough to steal, but honest enough to admit it.
You weren't "stealing", but I assume you knew that before you chose that terminology.
