#82I ran a handful of trackers from 2006 to 2013. They were money machines like you've never seen. I ran a British TV tracker. Everyone in the industry used the site.

WhatCD was pretty damn good, I'd say it rivalled Oink. Remember the bounty on that MSFT forensic tool? The copy of the unreleased JD Salinger novel? Both fulfilled...
I remember coffee getting fulfilled, but don’t recall the Salinger novel getting fulfilled. What was the story there? Iirc it was in the Princeton rare books library and it was hard to get access to? Guessing someone took photos?
Here's the story about the novel:
