>What.cd, an invite-only music torrent website first launched in 2007, has been shut down after a raid by French authorities. The private tracker offered free (and often illegal) access to a massive, deeply thorough collection of music and was popular among audiophiles for its strict rules around quality and file formats. The site was created after the shutdown of another well-known torrent website, Oink, which operated between 2004 and 2007. Though its primary focus was music sharing, What.cd also permitted torrents of computer software, ebooks, and other content.

Ok, but anyone can simply convert music from YouTube now, use the hacked versions of Pandora, or use TPB. Sure, it's riskier, and you don't get muh sound quality, but you're getting it for free. Quit whining.
Entitled mother fuckers. Start your own torrent site if you're upset by it. Torrenting is dying anyways, and no one seems to give a shit.
