Complete noob from /mu/ here, I downloaded a torrented file of an album from nine inch nails official website. It's creative commons. I know downloading is fine obviously, but is seeding also legal in this instance? Am I seeding that specific NIN file, or am I seeding all sorts of random stuff? thanks :*

That's up to you.
As for whether or not it's legal to seed it, you should read the creative commons licence, I'd say it's probably fine.

>Is seeding ever legal?
Yes.

when you seed, you're re-uploading bits of that file to people who are downloading it at the same time you're seeding.

There's more than one creative commons licence, but yes, you can do whatever the fuck you want with it.

Yes reseeding the NIN torrents is legal, that's why he distributes them via torrent and not direct download.

That said, your ISP might have an upload cap. I remember when I seeded the high resolution concert footage from the year zero era I got an angry letter from my ISP, saying if I kept seeding they'd start charging me for a business-tier plan. That was ~2008 with Comcast, upload cap was 200 GB/month back then.

Nothing is illegal about seeding.
The problem comes when you're seeding strings of numbers that someone else bought the rights to.

i wish my upload speed was fast enough for that to be a concern

This shouldn't be making me laugh but it is.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
