I think we should be able to co-op a digital library... Say, the Internet archive seems to be just that!
Why is it under constant attack? Oh yeah, greed.
Why aren't we able to digitally host a communal library where each owner can "buy in" access by contributing a library?

You mean private trackers? Fr those who are against piracy seem to be missing the point. For me it's about refusing to pay into a corrupt system where the creators get very little of what they make. The agencies get the majority. Which is why I pirate from Ubisoft, buy from Humble Bundle, steal from the corporations, purchase from the independents, donate to charities and exploit the greedy.
