If your country persecutes individual piracy. Mine doesn’t.
Our ISP sends 3 strike letters :(
Our ISPs are too cheap and lazy to even try looking. I still use I2P, but only because I need to justify my tin foil hats collection.
I’m pretty sure our ISPs would advertise piracy if they could
I have had like 14 while I was still in school here in canada. if things haven’t changed you just ignore them because they can’t do jack if you don’t respond. Someone I worked with was blown away when I told him this because back home he was banned from all but the slowest ISP.
That is supposedly the case in Australia as well but I haven’t got a letter from telstra since around 2004 and I have never used a VPN and watch all my shows and movies via torrents so either I’m extremely lucky or they stopped bothering.
Though recently I started paying the $4 / month for Real Debrid for better streaming performance, which is just as good as a VPN for torrent anonymity. I used to be fundamentally against the idea of paying anything to pirate but honestly this is worth it, I’ve even been able to watch a few shows that had 0 seeders because they were previously cached.
Scroll down and there’s a section about Australia on here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Buyers_Club
Basically, they fucked it up so bad in Aus no one’s ever tried again.
Yep, my govt only cares about porn, manga, hentai, online gambling sites, reddit and duckduckgo.
Woah where do you live?
I don’t use a VPN because my government has acknowledged that an IP address cannot identify what individual was using it.
wouldn’t trust that tbh

watched the mental outlaw video i see
Yeah, if you don’t mind it possibly taking a week to download something… Really like the idea, but in practice it’s very slow for something like that, unless you got a lot of seeders for something maybe.

let’s say that VPNs are compromised and “they” know that you’re downloading “illegally”
in order to prosecute, “they” have to prove you’re a pirate and show how they know
would they compromise their backDoor to go after a tiny pirate?

This is why I compose all my messages on an air gapped computer and send them out from my compound with couriers.
I personally just use a VPN that connects to NSA servers so they think it’s themselves doing the torrenting.

In fairness I doubt the NSA give a single solitary fuck about piracy and aren’t about to give themselves up over a telesync rip of Beetlejuice 2.
But probably best to plan 9/11 part 2 over something a bit more secure.
do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour mullvad vpn
I don’t think they care about piracy.
Who is the original artist?
Not sure about the artist, but these are characters from the game Persona 5 (Haru and Futaba)
My country doesn’t care, so it’s not necessary
Instructions unclear, VPN’d into my own home network.
I use Comcast VPN cheaper than mullvad /s
Nah, Verizon VPN is better
Haru asking Futaba where she has to type in her dad’s credit card number
I thought you don’t need a VPN for things like usenet
If your provider supports SSL and you actually turn it on then no technically don’t need a VPN for Usenet.
this is dangerous advice. courts can still subpoena the usenet provider for your information.
IP law firms tried to get their cases into my country and they only got a 50% success rate on court so they stopped trying (cost benefit thing I suppose).
Also private trackers in my country do not allow the use of VPN (why do they care IDK, they say it is to have more control on who join), so there’s little point on getting a VPN for piracy here.
Or pirat through a public library proxy :)
Even Haru’s billionaire ass can’t afford all these subscriptions 😭
And make sure it’s a VPN that supports port forwarding. Sharing is caring.
or just use Usenet.
And please don’t use anime girls to refer to every fucking thing in the world
I mean this is Persona 5 and this is 100% what Futaba would say and do
