Why are peoples going on soulseek to not share files and make them private?

Some people have exclusive content and they wanna sell it or change it for something of the same value. Some people have very high quality files that only other people with the same type of material know. These people are doing their thing, let them. Soulseek is anonymous and p2p, people are sharing music and books and stuff, wich is keeping their legitimate owners (the creators, labels or whatever) from making their money. Don’t complain. Nobody owes you anything. Some people take a lot of time and effort to make nice selections of files for someone to come and just take it, they want you to ask first. Maybe they want something u can offer. I honestly don’t see the problem. Yes some people just wanna brag of what they have. Why does it matter to you? If u had anything of value u probably would protect it too! If u find something you want and it’s private message the person and find a way to get what you want instead of crying on Reddit!
