I never have, and I haven't heard much about it lately.
Have any of you gotten earned (or more) lately? And if so, was it a public or private tracker?
I always wondered how they could prove you uploaded to other users, anyway. It seems like the burden of proof should be on the accuser.
Note: I do not philosophically accept IP infringement as being immoral.
>>73122008
Just wait till TPP passes. Then we're fucked. Till then they can just hope we feel bad about it when they complain to our ISP and the ISP warns us of the infringement, then log into their lawyer site and pay for avoiding court.

>warns us of the infringement, then log into their lawyer site and pay for avoiding court.
You've never actually done this, right?
You do know they know literally nothing about you beyond your IP and ISP?
I've gotten a bunch of those notices, just ignore them.
>>73122008
I only got a notice once when I seeded a game of thrones torrent for like three weeks straight. It was my favorite episode (the red wedding).
You only get busted if you seed. 99% of my other torrents I leech. Yeah, I know, I'm a fucking asshole, but I can't afford to leave my computer running all day because my electricity bill is already $400/mo
>>73122008
Got one for torrenting GoT. I guess HBO honeypots some of their shows. Funny thing is we have HBO, but the site is fucking slow as fuck because people were binge watching before the new season.

Don't pirate anything current or profitable and people are less likely to go after you
>>73122772
Of course I ignore them. It's entirely reasonable to assume people/lawyers put up torrents for the purpose catching/logging and luring unsuspecting newbs to pay in their scam.

I'd use a VPN if I were going to do something like this, which I wouldn't, because a few bucks for a movie is short money for peace of mind.
i use itunes for anything I want to watch.
VPN's are cheap. Get one, use public trackers.
Private trackers are full of dorky cunts with their shitball HnR policies. They're only worthwhile if you're willing to up your investment toward seedboxes to leave running 24/7.

You can do download whatever you want.
>>73122772
Not literally true. They will file with court for your ISP to release your info to them. Your ISP may (or may not) comply.
Then they will look through that list for anyone interesting (e.g. anyone with money), and go after them.
>>73122008
Think its still legal to download shit here for private use, the distribution is what gets you in jail.
>>73123279
This is akin to selling a stolen car... if the car's new owner got it from somebody else, they'll keep climbing the totempole until they find the original crook. Same idea with IPs.
>>73123695
>>73123844
If they don't know my current IP then they can't even sell me a stupid notice.
>>73122008
I've only received complaints when it's something popular that's licensed for sale in the US, like Game of Thrones. Now I use a VPN for torrents.
>>73122008
I stopped using a vpn because it doesn't seem like much of an issue anymore

Unless the VPN's are also honeypots.

^ what he said. But then again, there's no way of 100% security, and it's pretty easy to puff yourself up on the internet with fake reviews, fake testimonials, fake forum posters.
In reality, nobody is going to want to go after you bad enough if you bothered with a VPN and you just download your episodes of Blacked and the newest hollywood Jew bullshit superhero movie.
They only go after easy targets (retards using their home ISP, which is hollywood using a big fishing net for the stupid fish that are easy to catch).
Don't act like you're Kim DotCom. A.) you aren't that big of a kink in their system, and B.) you're not that fat, hopefully.

These days it's always the ISP that finds out. They are able to recognize how torrent traffic behaves. They can send you a warning directly through your browser now, I've gotten one before. Do it too much and they will cut you off or maybe notify the MPAA.
Also, fuck off

It's not the downloadin, it's the seeding. As long as you change your download folder from the default of whatever program you use and don't seed there's never an issue.

As far as I've heard and seen it isn't really an issue anyone cares about, the only people getting popped are the ones downloading and seeding CP.

Got one email for dark souls 2. Apparently it takes 6 before any action.
In the UK we need a TV license to watch live TV, even if it's an internet stream. Apparently there are detection vehicles that can detect real TV signals coming from houses without licenses.
But I'm curious as fuck how they're supposed to be alerted to the fact someone is streaming live TV, unless that person is watching off the BBC website or some shit. But other live web stream services won't care, ISPs have no reason to care, and with https how is it even possible for the government jews and their meme vehicles to even find you doing it? Is there some method I've forgotten?

>>73130347
You are asking wrong questions, since you are under false belief that there has to be an address. I'll give you a hint: people connect to server or no server at all, just interconnected pcs between each other, you can add a password if you want, but really not necessary. I could think of many ways to do this and i know many ways. The only thing important is that you bring some stuff, 1 terabyte was entering ticket 5 years ago, of course sorted, depends what you looking for. I had like 1 terabyte of rock, then i had 3 terabytes of films and you get all kinds of invitations, depends what you offering, there are people for everything. Of course the names of servers you won't find anywhere mentioned, it's simply an address you enter you and those people who share know.

Nah, i run couple of such servers, i would search around internet for vinyl collectors, invite them to join, when you have like 1000 people in each server, each sharing from 1 to 10 terabytes and you have like many hundreds of servers, since other people invite you too, it's really limitless. Lets just say i was going by genre on imdb and could download anything and then i was going by itunes or cdbaby by genre and download it all. Nothing to do with warez or sites, you need a client program, could be a modified program you made and you give it to people.
>>73132088
That sounds really neat. I dont torrent much shit at all, but I am aware of a lot of peer to peer crypto stuff. Your strategy has got to be the one thing that pisses off the DMCA fucks the most
3 years ago I left a seed open for 24 hours and got a letter in the mail saying I owed universal pictures $20. Never sent them that $20.
This is the first time I feel good for being a hue. Nobody here does shit about torrenting(sometimes we get Whatsapp blocked though)
>>73132518
You got public places too, but mostly for recruiting and you got public clients, but really no serious person will use public places, while with torrents everything is public. Many public client programs have build-in options if you need protection, but it's really not necessary, since nobody knows where you are and everybody uses a password and address. It's not accidentally going to happen that somebody you don't know is going to connect and even if, i can any time kick him out or simply not even allow him to download from me.
