The Spanish‑language rock/pop group Ira (active 2002‑2015) released four studio albums, two EPs, and a catalogue of live recordings that have achieved a cult following in the Iberian‑American underground music scene. This paper surveys the complete discography of the band, examines how the material has been disseminated through both official channels and peer‑to‑peer (P2P) networks, and assesses the legal, ethical, and cultural implications of using torrent technology for music preservation and discovery. By combining discographic analysis, bibliographic research, and a review of torrent‑related scholarly literature, the study demonstrates that while torrents have facilitated broader access to Ira’s oeuvre, they also raise complex questions about intellectual‑property rights, artist remuneration, and the sustainability of independent music ecosystems.
