    On quite a few popular torrent sites, the currency of the pirate economy is ratio of data uploaded to data downloaded, which approximately tracks how much of what you take you’re giving back

    Surround sound copies of albums are always heavier in data than their stereo counterparts, so it burns more ratio to download them.

      Ah, neat. Wasn’t familiar with that phrase. I also didn’t know there was a surround sound copy of the album.
