They are saying that seeding is inherently part of torrenting, not that it's fair use. I mean, at least they weren't a leech.
My stance is fuck the copyright companies and fuck Meta for everything they do except in this case, because seedings a good thing and so is Anna's archive.
Seeding is NOT needed for downloading.
To be fair, I did say inherently part of. It would have been rude of them not to seed.
Those bastards stole all our data! But hey, at least they seeded it. Would have been pretty darn rude, otherwise.
