oh... sure, for distribution and casual listening 16bit/44.1kHz (or 48kHz) is enough. 24bit will make it more than plenty.
However, some dudes are picky and wanna be sure that their music came straight from the mastering table, and the high sampling rate is a proof of that, albeit a bad one.
Now, if you wanna really have a good laugh, torrent trackers are full of 192kHz/24bit _VINYL_ rips. Afaik vinyl can give you maximum range of around 72dB, which translates to roughly 10-12bits of sample size necessary. Why would someone do this? For shits and giggles, I guess.
