The difference between even just a few years ago and now is STARK. It feels like we pretty much have no choice but to torrent any and everything nowadays, whereas I did fine without torrents for the past 15-20 years. Worse than that, it seems the number of reliable torrent sites with decent amount of seeders is dwindling too, so now we have to try and get into private trackers, which is a nightmare. Is there any way back from this or are we screwed? The notion of the “hydra” with piracy where you cut off one head and two grow back is just dead wrong now.
