So I saw this post here a couple days ago about music piracy and got interested in soulseek. I've installed nicotine in a docker container and started searching for some music. I've found some pretty hard to find music and this album my father used to have in vynil when I was a kid. Cool. But the files had PRIVATE written on them.. Tried to download but the user did not share them with me. My question is: what's the point of sharing folders in a p2p program and denying access to these folders? I mean..just don't share it if you won't let anybody download it. Am I missing something in order to download this album?

Edit: hey guys I sent a message to the user asking if he could share the folder with me and he answered that he'd added me and I could download whatever I wanted! Great! Thanks for the help!

Do you have a folder that’s being shared? Some users only share with others who share.

You can also message the person and ask if they would be willing to make that folder public.

Yeah, some dickheads apparently want to monetize and should die in a fire, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Patience usually does the trick, but I need to work out how to filter Private out of search results.

Wow... I mean,if you paid for your music and don't want to share it,OK ..just don't share it

I ran across it somewhere, greed makes it sound plausible, but I have no direct evidence.
