"We should allow companies that provide what is almost a necessity in the modern world the power to decide who gets to use it and who doesn't" is a hell of a take.
While we're at it, I don't think thieves deserve clean water. Utilities companies should shut off the water supply to households where thieves live.
First is speed. I've been able to get speeds of ~50MBps (not Mbits) on private trackers, granted this is dependent on Internet connection more than anything but I get 20-50% of that speed on public trackers.
Second is retention and breadth of selection. If you're trying to download the latest Marvel movie then every tracker is gonna have that, but if you're looking for an older movie then it's much harder to find on a public tracker. And if you do find one, it's likely to be seeded by 1 person and you can only squeeze 10KBps out of it.
"access to torrentfreak"??
Here you go, it's a universal unlimited invite: www.torrentfreak.com
Oh i meant private has better retention. Oops. Editing
What.cd was one of the hardest to seed well on, unfortunately.
This sentence alone shows how short-sighted your point is.
"Abortion is the killing of fetuses. Providing women with access to information about abortion will lead to more deaths in just one year than Kiwifarms has brought about in its entire existence. ISPs have shown that they are able to block such sites. Given the higher level of harm abortion sites pose as compared to Kiwifarms, the Texas Court of Appeals moves that ISPs have to block all access to abortion information."
You don't have to agree with the paragraph above (I certainly don't), but that's exactly the point - if it can be used to block things you want blocked, there will be a way to justify blocking things you do NOT want blocked.
