just chatted with Fuuka and he informed me that, in fact, the Rebecca Black Tech archives are permanently down. I asked if it was a monetary thing because I felt bad for never donating despite using the archives endlessly, but he said it wasn't because of money and didn't elaborate further (making me think he just got tired of hosting it and maintining it). Anyway, let's pour one out for the best chan archive ever, and for maybe even giving you the links to some of your favorite albums.
R.I.P. RBT

>expecting weebs to do anything right
lmao
the funniest part is the people who have made 100 sharethreads for the archive purposes completely wasted their time haha
RIP
RIP Sharethreads
Damn, actually sucks a lot
>>66417324
>Rebecca Black
>>66417416
Use soulseek
No fucking way... ;_;
I mean so long as the guy has the database and uploads it, other people can take it and host it along with a new archive, like it's been done before. It's just that somebody else will be taking care of a server being up.
>>66417324
>all my troll images gone
shoulda saved them dammit
In other words it's time for a passing of the torch. Time for a new G8 Keeper. Fuuka served us well ;_;7
Here's an F to the archive.
SOMEONE MAKE A NEW ONE PLS I USE THAT FUCKING ARCHIVE ALMOST EVERY DAY
>>66417324
So, in other words, we don't have an archive anymore
>>66417324
>all the rare ferraros lost forever
Its all elaborate ruse right i-it cant be real right guys?
Fuuka here, don't worry OP is lying everything will be back to normal tomorrow
Now where am I supposed to find copy pastas to meme with?
>Making a big list of things to go and download from the archive and rutracker, if needed, so I can get everything in one sitting
>It's fucking dead
Pls no. Don't hurt me like this.
[spoiler] see you guys on the archive tomorrow. Right?? :( [/spoiler]
>>66417547
BUT I DON'T EVEN USE THE ARCHIVE FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS NIQQA
>>66417565
The hell do you use it for then?
Dammit I was gonna download an album but my internet gave out during the download and I told myself I'd come back to it later.
RIP Rebecca
>>66417599
She'll be fine.
>>66417324
FUCK
Call me a newfag, but RBT was literally my only source of obscure albums
>>66417603
SHE WAS SO YOUNG
This sucks but it was nice while it lasted.
well i guess i'll never listen to anything that's not already in my library

>>66417564
same here
I would just add sharethreads to the thread watcher and say, "I'll download the stuff I like later"
Now I can't
>>66417324
Fuck off, post proof you faggot
>>66417324
Godd riddance. Finally someone who's competent can step up and archive /mu/. This is archive.moe all over again. Jesus.
where the fucks the proof you faggot
>>66417436
how the fuck do i register on that bitch
>>66417666
>666
we're doomed
>>66417709
Anon is saying the truth. How could he fucking lie if he's saying the truth, dumbass? Do you even logic?
nothing hurt as much as when chanarchive went down. That shit had the best threads back from 2005
>>66417720
>register
What? You don't register. Download, pick a username, download music.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?
>>66417735
Don't remind me anon ;_;

SOULSEEK
>>66417834
I don't remember the names of the albums or artists.
>>66417834
Soulseek is shit.
>>66417842
it has nearly everything, what the fuck are you on
>>66417747
Oh fuck.
I'm a big dumb stupid then... It kept tellin' me I had to register and all this whack bullshit.
Do I have to share a folder like it says? I don't want to do this, since, my music is put up in the cloud.
My connection can't handle slsk or torrents
that archive was the only place where I could download music.
>>66417922
Sucks to be you then :^)
>>66417904
Have you downloaded it yet? It makes it patently obvious that you don't have to share a file, but that others may not be too keen to share with you if you're just mooching.
>>66417904
Good god why didn't I use this earlier?
Yo fuck all you motherfuckers doubting this program.
I've literally been scouring the fuckin' web for Kat Frankie's debut album, Pocketknife, and her other album Please Don't Give Me What I Want.
For both of them all links lead to dead shit, or RUtracker shit w/ no fukkin' seeds.
AND HERE IT IS.
ON SOULSEEK BY GLORIOUS USER, FCCPAX.
>>66417962
Yeah I'm using it right now. I've confirmed that I cannot read after many hrs of not sleeping.
>>66417966
Hey, that's me! Glad I could help senpai
>>66417966
it's beautiful isn't it
>>66417982
Really? I love you, anon.
You have good tastes.
Can you recommend me any other lasses like Kat Frankie?
You also wouldn't happen to know the singer Spider, would ya?
>>66417983
It really is.
When I get a new external to rebuild my music and take it off the cloud. I'm going to use the fuck out of it and share all that I can.
>>66417324
proof? also, the page says the archive isn't dead. And if it is, can you ask Fuuka about someone else hosting it?
>>66418143
Nice denial and negotiation
I didn't really use it but it always seemed like a good resource. Shame, hope he uploads it...
Damn... Half the music on my computer I found on rbt. Most of my favourite albums came from there. This is a sad day bros ;_;
>>66417324
ITS DEAD!? FUUUUUUCK all those great threads discussion GONE! So much information and knowledge, opinion, reviews... why the fuck does shit like this happen!?
Please don't leave us. I love you ;_;
This will upset me more later on when I need it
I feel like we should make a card for the guy who ran it for so long regardless
>>66418274
>tfw already snatched a lot of good stuff
>>66418303
Because the purpose of 4chan is its meant to be temporary
Oh fuck but WHAT DO WE SAY NOW TO NEWFAGS WHO DON'T CHECK THE ARCHIVE?!???
>>66417564
>tfw did that like a week ago
So many rares were obtained. I will never re upload them.
>>66417397

>all those underground hiphop taps recs from BOOTY lost
FUCK
Hopefully there's a replacement soon. There's some albums that were only accessible to download through the archives
>>66418484
Never come across this. Everything you can just get from soulseek. Sharethreads are only nice to find stuff you otherwise wouldn't have seen.
>>66418171
nice evidence. We have literally zero proof ITT
remember when /mu/ had standards and everyone had what.cd and soulseek and sharethreads were for only the rarest of albums
>>66418702
rbt is the only reason i never got a what.cd account
>>66418656
What about in the case of >>66417922
>>66418702
No I don't.
>>66417842
It's almost like people don't know how to use soulseek. I can't think of any other reason someone would not want to use it.
>>66418656
Not there's a lot of stuff you can't find on soulseek.
I also know that at least for me the account of data in some soulseek searches fucks up my computer
>>66417447
robert white enterprise when
>>66418721
You're right, anon.
'Cause after today I used it and it was successful where Jewgle was not.
The program is very based whereas faggots like fucker are not.
>>66418721
desu it has flaws
Not everything is top quality in terms of sound and tags and you're basically always trusting one particular stranger he could be dumb or could fall into errors. In shares the uploaders makes sure his stuff are in order because he's going out of his way to share.
slsk is my last resort usually.
fuck, there were still some katie pictures i had to retrieve.
>>66418765
This
Also just board culture as well
Is there another archive? Desuarchive, the other site I use, doesn't have /mu/
Well, that fucking sucks. Just when I was about to get the rest of Midori's discography.
This is actually quite good if it's true, rbt was great in 2012 when trip culture was booming and people were putting efforts into arguments but since 2014 it's served as nothing but a way to allow people latently interested in music to become "patrician" through mindlessly consuming. I hope he does a complete wipe of the 5 HDDs.
Oh and this probably happened either because of CeePee or the fact he's a lolicon and got caught out.
I'm going to miss all my old posts but there's a price that needs to be paid.
>>66418765
Same can be said about anonymous teens posting uploads on 4chan
If you want guaranteed quality, you're only choice is what.cd
>>66418802
Rutracker
>>66418817
I heard that's dying soon too
>>66418823
How so?
I just use Kazaa. I have found literally everything using that.
Whoops the shit out of slsk, rutracker, and what.cd combined.
Don't worry, sharethreads will continue. We'll get a new archive, and maybe Fuuka can provide what was lost. This is just assuming OP is correct
And if not, then we simply make pastebins after each thread with all links in it, and post in the next thread. Simple
>>66418870
Or just use soulseek.
>>66417324
no
NO

now rbt
I CAN'T KEEP DEALING WITH THESE LOSSES
I have a copy of the archive. Post as many memes as possible in this thread and I'll consider uploading it.

I saw Flying Lotus a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw FlyLo trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I've got 3 terabytes of 60's pre-ambient
800 gigs of live recordings of this local band called the fuckerfucks. They played only 2 shows before breaking up but I had 11 redundant recording rigs all recording flac which I then layered over one another for 25,000 kbps bitrate.
8 terabytes of the beatles. No not THOSE beatles, the new beatles. They haven't recorded an album yet and technically they're not really a band yet but they're indie-gospel-post-funk-punk style is going to be huge when you guys hear their stuff in about 5 years.
4 petabytes of the Ethiopian Free Jazz wave that occurred in 1973 in a town called Wenji Gefersi.
18 terabytes of sound check recordings from the mid 90's band LFO. They only scored a hit with "I like girls (who wear abercrombie and fitch)" but they were way ahead of their time.
That's just my C: drive. I have 41 drives.

You know what was a lot of fun? Trying to explain to my father what "fanservice" is without making it sound like I'm drawing porn . . . and then realizing halfway through that I'm pretty much just drawing porn. LOL. "No, no, Dad! It's not porn! I'm just drawing my characters scantily clad and in seductive positions because people want to see them as naked as possible! That's all!" Perfect argument.

Tyson once interviewed me for Beat. It was an experience.
We agreed to meet at a cafe at 8am for breakfast. He arrived at 9:10, clearly drunk. When the waitress asked what he would have, he replied bottled water and gin. She told him they didn't serve alcohol and he was taken aback. Not angry, but clearly upset, like he hadn't prepared for this. He drank his water in silence. No mention of my music.
He then told me we had to go to a bottle shop, and get some gin. I figured there was no way I was missing this, and followed him to a local BWS, which hadn't opened yet, but did soon, so we waited. He made a call to someone, maybe a relative, and was complaining about the lack of gin in the cafe. Still no mention of my music. Eventually 3 girls, maybe 16 years old, came over and asked if he was Tyson Wray, and then took photos. He asked them if they liked Yacht Club DJs, and then mocked them when they replied yes.
When the bottle shop opened, the guy knew him by name. Tyson selected a bottle of Bombay Sapphire, and started necking it there and then. He asked if I wanted anything, but being barely 10am, I declined. He told me his tram stop was down the road, so we headed down there.
We were waiting for his tram. I had figured no interview was happening, but I felt I should see him onto the tram. There was this gross busker there though, and tyson told him he would give him $50 if he played wonderwall. The second the dude started playing, tyson ripped the guitar out of his hands and jumped on it, destroying it. The dude got riled up, but ran off screaming about finding a cop.
Tyson turned to me, and said 'fuck guitars, hey', got on his Tram, and left. My band got a great writeup in Beat a fortnight later, not a word was true.
I like the guy.
It's strange how much I took Fuuka's efforts for granted now that I know the archive is actually gone for good. Soulseek is way too unreliable for steady bitrates in their uploads and What.CD requires far too much effort all for the sheer sake of downloading some music. With the rumours of RuTracker going down in the near future, these are actually really dire times.
>>66418713
How is that even possible?
I live in a third world country and soulseek works fine.
Let me preface this by saying that I've been a memer since they first appeared on 4chan circa 2006 (ages ago in internet time). I remember refreshing /b/ all afternoon with the hope that someone would make a new meme. I was a memer back when Advice Dog was the only one and I still upvote every Advice Dog meme I see becasue of the fond rush of nostalgia it brings me. Nowadays, there are many thousand on quickmeme and other meme websites. I was a memer back before memegenerator was created (the first meme website) and I had to make them with MS Powerpoint or Paint. Speaking of meme websites, I was one of the first submitters to memebase.com and still have one of the top accounts there despite having migrated to reddit nearly 2 years ago. It was on 4chan and memebase where I cut my teeth creating memes, way before I had a reddit account and way before /r/adviceanimals was created in late 2010. Back before I could get any sort of points or even username recognition, I was creating memes as a clever and easily digestible way to reflect on society, relate some story to my audience, or just be funny. Do you remember rich raven? No? I do. You probably don't remember depression dog, crazy girlfriend praying mantis, introspective pug, or friendzone Johnny either. I remember all of them. So please, respect my judgement regarding the direction of the subreddit and the integrity of posts I have held dear to my heart for nearly 7 years but you have no strong feelings for. Thanks
Have I told you about how nerds destroy the world?
Take conspicuous consumption as a lifestyle choice and combine it with early hardware adoption, and you have great swaths of gadgetry out of stock because of stock because they're incrementally better than the last model.
Then there are landfills full of functioning electronics.
Wasted time, resources, money, etc.
The best part is that these things were never necessary, it has never mattered how thin a computer is,
There's a special kind of nerd though.
Who thinks computers will overtake mankind in thirty years, changing humanity in ways incomprehensible to us now, ignoring the third of the world without electricity.
So the singularity is the nerd way of saying "In the future, being rich and white will be even more more awesome."
It's all flying car bullshit: surely the world will conform to our speculative fiction, surely we're the ones who will get to live in the future.
It gives spiritual significance to technology developed primarily for entertainment or warfare, and gives nerds something to obsess over.
That isn't the crushing vacuousness of their lives.
It doesn't matter what you obsess over.
Nerds just gotta obsess about something so you can research alternative energy, or, more likely, beat a video game very quickly, or draw a cartoon.
It's okay though, there are people on the internet that will tell you you're doing a great job, and since people say you're doing great it's gotta be just as good as other things people say are great, right?
Nerds do not redefine adulthood, they waste it.
>>66417447
could someone get in touch with fuuka about this?
>>66419001
>far too much effort
you mean $5-10 for a month-long seedbox that'll guarantee ~450 gigs during freeleech events, lasting you two years at most if all you download is V0.

well now you're just treading down the territory of subjective emotional investment which isn't my concern at all especially considering how little effort it takes to work a seedbox in the first place
>>66419190
cash money isn't an emotional investment its a physical investment
>>66419190
i know you tried to be clever but when you can't distinguish between subjective/objective and emotional/physical how can you expect to be taken as anything other than a court jester

>desustorage went down
But everything is safe. Cuckchan has it now. Fuuka should do the same
Does this mean more discussion, less spoonfeeding threads?
Could it be time for more variety?
>>66419362
Fuck off newtrip, you can't hope to reach neat's level of kwality posting.
Regardless of whether you use Soulseek more or What.CD more, the loss of a service like the /mu/ archive is a huge one in regards to how easy it made finding albums on a surface level. Sharethreads used to be utter trash not too long ago when they were filled with links to albums already circulating on an almost-public level in bitrates lacking, but lately they had seemed to turn around this year. For the archive to have died out the way it did is really fucking unfortunate, but I feel for Fuuka and I thank them for their efforts. Fuuka didn't need to put forth the time and energy to keeping servers alive and the archive as tidy as it was, but they did anyway, and for quite a while too. Hopefully someone picks up the helm and picks it up soon, because it would be really tragic for all the stuff posted in the summertime (what is usually when this site gets the most traffic) to become lost in the transfer of servers and sites.
Thank you, Fuuka.
>>66419362
as i said earlier, there is no need to be hostile;
and even less need to vent your personal rage at innocent bystanders.
i am patiently awaiting my apology - hopefully a change in your shocking attitude will accompany it

i haven't kept up with sharethreads in over a year, but last i checked it was 90% japanese shit

I don't know what's worse; newfags thinking the loss of an archive is sad or people thinking the owner of rbt.asia/mu made Fuuka. For all of you out there who clearly came here post-2013 the person who made Fuuka was eksopl, anounyym1 (owner of rbt.asia) made a fork of Fuuka.

i hope you don't think that constitutes an apology.

>>66418901
The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

How the fuck is everyone believing OP with literally no proof at all? How is this different than one of those threads people make claiming to work for some /mu/core artist and have details on their new album and then every time, without fail, it turns out to be fake?
When other 4chan archives have died permanently, the host always puts a message on the page about it. It wouldn't just show the normal downtime page. Christ /mu/ is retarded.

Why are tripfags so autistic? What.cd is shit and stop shilling it here constantly.
How much space did the archive take up anyways? I'm wondering how bad it would be to host.
>>66419690
beats me
why do you rely on your surface-level intuitions to make decisions for you?
>>66419690
>What.cd is shit
Objectively false
>>66419711
you thought "/mu/tracker" was a good idea so you're the last person i would trust to host an archival site
>>66419722
You can fuck right off.
>>66419690
PLEASE name a better alternative to What.CD, I'd love to hear about it.
>>66419737
spotify
>>66419733
bitch you had to be reminded to pay for an SSL certificate, who the fuck in their right mind would trust you?
>>66419750
I wasn't the one handling the SSL certs.
>>66419750
O SHIT WADDUP

I shared a lot of albums over time, its a real shame. As much as soulseek had more on offer, there was something kinda nice about sharethreads (when they were actually good), in the sense that someone would share something that was personally appealing to them, it had a really nice communitarian vibe to it.
Anyways, I still have a lot of stuff in my mega (including releases not on slsk) so happy to share what I've got.
>>66419766
In fact, I handed over server control a few months into the project, for both money and time constraints. The initial Mutracker crash was because I installed something incorrectly but I later fixed it. I've been running Tapmusic for the past 7 years with little issue as well.
>>66419737
Google, where I get most of the shit I can't find on Archive/Soulseek. I know, it's a pretty obscure website, you probably would've never heard of it. Also shareblogs exist too.
>>66419746
Are you retarded? How is paying every month to stream music better? Audio quality is lower, not everything is on Spotify, and it barely supports the artists.
>>66419803
>>66419808
to be fair, piracy doesnt support the artits
>>66419808
>Audio quality is lower
extreme quality is 320
>and it barely supports the artists.
neither does downloading music for free
>>66419808
>>66419808
>Website goes down
>No more music, no collcetion
>They decide to hike price, no more music
>You for some reason can't afford spotify, no more music
I'll let you listen to my record collection for 5 bucks a month if you want.
>>66419819
Piracy leads to a less centralized music economy where the average Joe has more incentive to learn how to create music and ultimately leads to a more thriving music industry through greater distribution.
>>66419797
your team of literal monkeys sucked ass regardless who was manning what, which is why the tracker isn't up these days lol
except for the fact that it was a stupid fucking idea of course
>>66419803
Ah yes, Google. I love spending 5 minutes to find a bad transcode hosted on Uploaded.net that takes several minutes to download. My favorite!
>>66419819
>>66419824
that's my point. there's no incentive at all to pay up $10 a month for Spotify when I can just download everything for free. Both Spotify and piracy don't support the artists.
>>66419853
*regardless of who was manning
I'm more upset about all those copypastas than I am about sharethreads.
>>66419819
Well this isn't true necessarily.
You should say that piracy does not support the artist monetarily directly. However it does gain an artist recognition; especially in the case of Sixto Rodriguez whose music only traveled outside the US, BECAUSE, of piracy/bootlegging.
Faggot.
>>66419554
>>66419627
My thoughts exactly really, some random OP being a faggot
>>66419845
Basically, with piracy more people end up listening to a wider variety of music because they can share it freely. This allows for joe from down the street to get more attention on his release, and encourages more people in general to make music. This creates a demand for lessons, and an incentive for self education. Leading to more music being created, more ideas being spread, and ultimately more profits for people at large. Through donations, physical copy sales, lessons, studio time, gigs, instrument sales, and instrument maintenance.
>>66419845
>>66419877
i meant specifically monetarily this isnt some anti piracy bullshit message im just saying that "not supporting the artist" isnt a valid reason for piracy over spotify
also who the fuck ends a high horse post with "Faggot."
No fucking way. The end of an era. It seems all the archives are slowly dying off. RIP RBT, I will always remember you fondly.
>>66419899
Well there's a few reasons.
1) You're a faggot.
2) I can.
>>66419857
>Ah yes, Google. I love spending 5 minutes to find a bad transcode hosted on Uploaded.net that takes several minutes to download. My favorite!
Learn how to search then. It doesn't take long to find a good rip, especially if you know where to look. You also didn't say a single thing about shareblogs.
>5 minutes is a long time
>Compared the to infinite amount of bullshit you have to do for What.CD
RIP
What now
Is 4plebs literally the only archive that still didnt't manage to die?
>>66419899
Also if you SPECIFICALLY meant monetarily then I suppose it would do you justice to be more concise in your usage of words, eh?
Ya fuckin' faggot.
>>66419937
why can't they just take up the /mu/ archive job
who the fuck needs an /adv/ or /pol/ archive
>>66419930
Yes, the whole interview process is long and ardious but it's well worth it. In the span of like two minutes I can search up just about any release I want, find it in any format I want, download it in 1 minute, and start listening.
>>66419930
it's astounding how you have the reasoning skills to understand how easy it is to search for music but you think it takes any sort of work to have your way with what.cd lol ??
>>66419946
Thanks, I needed that.
Does this mean sharethreads will die too
>>66419988
What.CD a shit
Elitist faggotry raking in the dough off your stupid ass.
I bet you paid to get an invitation for blackcats too.
>>66420022
try some meta-analysis or at least hit your 18th birthday before posting again
Well, this sucks.
>>66419162
tfw u will no longer be able to search the archive for sick reccs from turny
>>66420022
>buying invites for blackcats
>not just getting an invite to GGn on Invites forum
The archive has been going down a lot recently, I knew it would happen
>>66418901
Give Proof
so...........
do wat
>>66420038
so are u a huge patronizing faggot for posterity or do u just like being one?
>>66420076
>not just having your dad work at nintendo or for kojima
>>66418830
It won't die, it's a cash cow.
>>66420157
i'm only patronizing to those who deserve it, rest assured
Be fuuka create this thread come back and receive lots of donations
If that's not the case and hes really shutting it down /mu/ will go to shit with the Lazy counts creating threads asking for links
Girls, girls,
OP has posted no proof. No need to argue
>>66420209
> /mu/ will go to shit with the Lazy counts creating threads asking for links
Not their fault if people enable their behavior by spoonfeeding them.
There's a board dedicated to spoonfeeding now and we still have ~20 "guiz more liek dis cuz im to stupid to find music on my own" threads up at any given time.
>>66420247
Was supposed to say lazy cunts but I'm on my phone
And it's going to get even worse if the archive is permanent down because people can't reply with "Check the archive" anymore
>>66420205
idk man you seem like you like being a faggot for posterity reasons
>>66420389
you're right in all honesty
i'm secretly a humanitarian
>>66420247
I'm honestly not opposed to spoonfeeding, what's wrong with sharing tastes and artist? It solidifies the memory of the person sharing as well as exposing someone to something they otherwise wouldn't of found
>>66420412
honestly i didn't think you could increase your homosexuality levels by this much
but you've gone and done it.
bravo.
say... how do you feel about equality?
>>66420247
>>66420286
There is a reason why we have a sticky.
Tell people to use it and download soulseek instead of bumping those threads.
>>66420437
i smell an ulterior motive
>>66417429
Hello summer
>>66420427
Spoonfeeding people attracts undesirables who are too lazy/stupid to find music on their own.
ITT: Babies who don't know how to use soulseek
https://web.archive.org/web/20151230134841/http://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/mu/? archive of an archive
someone get all those sharethread links
>>66417324
damn
where will i spam all my slam metal albums???
>>66417436
This is probably a stupid question but is it any more likely that you would get caught for stealing your music from soulseek than was for the archive?
