The GOG Quake distro, and the various shenanigans that have happened with the way it handles the soundtrack, probably makes this more likely. It's entirely possible that id/Zenimax will at some point have a change of heart - or some new person will learn about things and disapprove - and then require the removal of soundtrack file hosting. I'm not sure what's going on there but it smells like fine-grained legalities. it was specifically selling the ripped tracks that got them in trouble. One odd part here is that GOG is in fact still selling the soundtrack, but only as a CD image instead of ripped tracks. Officially selling the soundtrack though brings on board all the folks concerned with the music licensing agreements. Just judging from appearances it looks like an accommodation benefitting the players and requiring less work from the developers, similar to the way that Night Dive winks at "Le Corbeau" making patches for Dark Engine games using illegally leaked source code. Of course nobody at id/Zenimax has officially said anything about this, but we do know that guys who work on the Quake IP at id these days are familiar with the digital-distro version of Quake and its soundtrack situation - they've mentioned it in forum discussions, the links to ripped soundtrack files were in a sticky-thread in the old Steam community forum for Quake, etc. Possibly because this helps restore a large part of the experience that has been missing from the downloadable versions of Quake. It's more that id/Zenimax has been winking at the community distribution of the Quake soundtrack for the past decade or so. Get in contact with Quaddicted site owner and be productive rather than just someone wagging the finger at your fellow comrade. If licensing reasons stopped GOG from providing the musical scores for Quake1 and other mods, what gave Quaddicted the greenlight to do the same thing? Giving it out for free? There is no Mods group/link/category/CLICKME linking to Mods, same goes for Music!

The same can be said for MUSIC! I just skimmed over the front page of Quaddicted and found no section linking to MUSIC!

He isn't the only one who doesn't understand the Quaddicted site structure! Some one just recently posted about a ne_dynamic mod, and it's apparently being hosted on Quaddicted albeit behind some obscure lack-of-linking section! We do not need warez kids for this.Woah buddy calm your jets. Of course quaddicted has impel music tracks as well as ALL other Quake expansion music tracks: You still do not seem to understand the structure of quaddicted. Ezzetabi, posting a hash for an illegal quake compilation torrent?!
