I was a member since 2006 as I was Oink. It’s sad, but fuck them. I had an archive of thousands of 12" singles, of which I uploaded hundreds of them at lossless quality. I spent thousands of hours restoring them, having the vinyl vacuum cleaned, removing the clicks and pops. Then they changed the file naming rules and anyone who downloaded my music could trump me and have my torrents deleted by renaming the files and uploading them as theirs. As if I didn’t spend enough time making this music available to the world. Long lost vinyl, such as Michael Jackson, Kelly Marie, Chaka Khan, etc. After they changed the rules, I never uploaded another song. When I told them of this, I was banned from commenting on anything.

Fuck you What.cd.




Wow.

Do you have any sort of record of what you uploaded? eg, hashes?
