Somebody is trying to download Chopin's Premier Concerto performed by Emil Gilels and The Philadelphia Orchestra off of me.

Alas, the upload speed is low and the connection often breaks, and I've been searching internet for some time now about how to improve torrent upload speed. I want this unknown person to be able to hear this excellent performance so much!

And no, I'm not ashamed. #Gilels is a treasure that belongs to the humanity. And so is #Chopin.

Well, there are different situations. But in this particular kind of case I don't think the recording label has any moral right to withhold music.

And the pianist himself is long since dead, so he doesn't care about royalties anymore.

So it's not like I'm getting in the way of a musician earning money with his art. More like, not letting the capitalist label make money out of thin air.
