Sure but a fake file supplier is not a Leecher. A Leecher is one who shares
nothing and expects you to give him\her what he\she wants. A fake file
supplier is a person who is sharing fakes. Hey even I might be guilty of
that. I d/l much more then I actually see at any one time. And share them.
But for the most part I do catch the fakes and delete them.
