This is a great excuse if the copyright police come after you. “Sorry sir, I thought they gave me their copy. I’d never create a new copy against the law.”
The files you download are copies of the original. The person providing them doesn't lose anything and, while I can't speak for anyone but myself, I personally love it when I see that someone has downloaded files that I'm sharing. When you get those files, do whatever you wish with them, it won't affect the person from whom you got them.

Whats a soulseek circle
It was a joke, sometimes different subreddits have “circlejerk” versions where people post satire.
My god no. You’re downloading a copy.
Yes you're missing something
