Most BitTorrent clients are not designed to provide anonymity when used over Tor, and there is some debate as to whether torrenting over Tor acts as a drag on the network.

After being made available solely on Tidal, The Life of Pablo failed to chart initially due to West declining sharing the streaming numbers with Nielsen Music. The album was reportedly subject to over 500,000 illegal downloads within 24 hours of release, becoming the most illegally downloaded album ever and causing a resurgence in torrenting of music. This cost West $10 million in sales since he originally planned to offer album downloads for $20 each, which would have equated to $10 million if 500,000 purchases had been made. Despite West requesting Tidal to withhold streaming numbers for The Life of Pablo in February, the service revealed in March 2016 that the album was streamed over 250 million times within ten days of being released.
