The private tracker I use have random stuff like reality shows for Norway television, all the Olympics transmissions, and BlueRay rips of movies from the 30's. There's also the popular stuff, but you would be amazed by the random stuff people upload.

I know, I was joking. I've been a pirate since getting my first box of floppies for my trs-80. I got bit by young people being very literal in reading my comment.

I'm not completely wrong, it's a joke! Isn't it funny how I got all of my facts incorrect? Upvotes, please!

You misspelled ignominious in your username.

I know, dude. It's an inside joke with a friend, if you care.

We’re not young people, your original comment is just wrong and makes no sense. Or tells us what YOU preserve.
