        Depends on country. In Russia only being first seeder is illegal. New peers fall under “technical limitations” clause.

        So, the minimally illegal way to stiff the people sharing with them. They continue to innovate in the age-old field of bastardry.

      After doing terrible crap for so long without much, if any, punishment leads to brazen and absurd tactics…

      Soon I expect something akin to them running their own marketplace scams or similar fraud just because it’s so profitable vs expense/penalty.

      As you say, it’s like a bad caricature of the stereotype.
