Since when is downloading features legal in any country?
I've illegally downloaded terabytes of everything from movies to expensive software with no sort of precautions, and have never received so much as an email
>>70076010
I'm with Time Warner cable and have received eleven complaints about copyright from them.
>>70076050
And what happens then to u?
>>70075896
It would cost them more to sue me, because I'd never be able to pay up anyway. They are in a lose-lose situation.
>>70075961
GOOD LUCK TRYING TO PROSECUTE OR GET COMPENSATION FROM A CANADIAN, YOU FUCKIN' KEK.
>>70075961
It's not illegal in most places, or it's functionally legal anyway. Distribution is very illegal though.
>>70075961
legal in canada because one judge made it okay for the same reason we have photocopiers in libraries and copyright law says we're allowed to violate copyright law, unless it's for money or distribution.
>>70075896
No
Because im not an Amerifats.
>>70076207
nothing. i've gotten at least 15 letters from mediacom about hbo bitching with the standard threats of prison and fines and as far as i know that's all they can do. they don't cite any specific law that i'm breaking. i just got a vpn so they didn't have to waste paper. hbo can't mobilize the police.
they just go after the uploaders seriously, i've never heard of anyone ever dragged to jail or to court because they watched a goddamned movie
In my country non-commercial copyright infringment is a civil matter with a maximum fine less than a single hour of a lawyer's time.
Oh some asshole might try to shake down the rubes but any.ca with a brain knows we have a license to infringe for personal use thanks to the blank media levies.
Eat a bag of dicks corporate whores! No money for you. We invest our "entertainment" budget in real stocks kthxbai!
I'll just tell them I identify as a pirate
then tell them "Check ye privelege ye cis scum."
In the UK there was something of an uproar a few years ago when it turned out ISPs were sending letters to suspected pirates threatening legal action from non-existent law firms. Made it abundantly clear that it's really not a threat at all.
>>70075961
Germany is cruel and unusual about torrenting from what I read online.
>>70076050
I'm with TWC too but I've never received a letter. I bought a proxy service though anyway when I started torrenting more new releases just for peace of mind.
I'm a neet with no future
I might enjoy prison
At least lose my virginity
i got a letter a couple of weeks ago because i shared s06e01 of the walking dead in october. I am supposed to pay 1.400€
>mfw nothing is going to happen
jokes on them, I dont have a million dolllars
It's a crime so commonplace that even if they attempted to proescute as many people as they possibly could, they'd still never have enough resources to come anywhere near being a perceptible threat.
>>70075896
Worst you get is a letter and they threaten to turn off your Internet(fuck you CenturyLink). Just hide behind a VPN or get into a private tracker.
Australia here.
No.
Dont even use a VPN, just straight download anything I ever want.
The was I see it, all the film and music corporations should get in on ISP's and make money off a percentage from people paying for internet usage.
WITHOUT JACKING THE MONTHLY FEES!
>>70075896

some people in my country have gotten letters from some lawyer kikes after downloading shows or whatever but they wont actually do shit
other than that seems like they dont give a fuck
>>70080696
PMSL, My missus has asked me for it, but honestly, Id burn my computer down before downloading this or neighbors. They both are the worst shows in television history...
Absolute shit..
I almost spewed when EZTV started uploading it...
eh pirating is so bad in my country they don't even care anymore
>>70076010
Me, too. And all over more than a ten year period. I don't know why retards are always being hit up with copyright warnings. Never received one.

I think I got mine from rutracker
I remember when my mom started getting text messages from out cable provider about me downloading from kick ass torrents and my parents started flipping out because they thought I was going to jail.
>>70075961
It has never been illegal in my country.
>>70081152
What country? Are you open to being culturally enriched?
>>70081135
i thought rutracker is music only
>>70081209
Nope. I usually get large stuff from there like BD-ISOs. Helps to use Chrome and have it translate the page on-the-fly.
>>70081152
What is the incentive to create (media) in your country if there's no protection that anyone will compensate you for it?
>>70081254
if it's good people are gonna buy physical copies duh
I could easily pay for all the stuff I pirate, it's just so fucking convenient to load a few torrents and have that shit right there when I need it.
just don't seed.
/thread
How's the situation in Germany? I'm moving there in a couple of months and while in my current country I can download without any fear, I don't know if I'll get my ass Bratwursted if I keep doing it.
>>70076010
Same here
Was blowing through 400+ gbs a month downloaded and seeded in my heyday
Never received shit
>>70076010
I don't give a fuck
>>70081423
Germany is very severe in this kind of things
>>70075961
It's hard to peruse legal actions from one country to the next (a fact a lot of companys take advantage of to ignore regulations they don't like)
And some countrys ISPs also like to protect their customers privacy (or take advantage of the above to save money on legal costs.)
In other words they have the choice of pleasing their customers by "protecting their privacy" by just ignoring the right's holder (saving money), or in the case of dynamic IPs not bothering to keep detailed enough logs (further saving money and making them legally covered by being unable to help).
OR they can dedicate time and money to helping the rights holders and pissing off their customers.
Then the money the rights holders would have to spend to force the issue isn't worth it, especially when you have to factor in that you would have to argue it in another countrys courts, against another large corporations legal team. (Thats another legal team you have to hire, plus accommodation for all your personnel for months) and thats just to get the info on who the pirate is. Then you have to do it again with the pirate. all for ONE offender (especially if the country in question has a plethora of ISPs)
That last bit is why they only really worth it to go after the original uploaders and tracker sites.
its only illegal to distribute, the rest of that bullshit language is just to scare people from downloading
>>70081423
I have been downloading both with and without VPN for the last 1.5 years and nothing ever happened.
I just don't seed anymore and I recently started using Peerblock.
I don't use private trackers and I have downloaded straight from the top100 48h page of TPB.
>>70081463
What kind of punishment do they give you? Does it only apply to public trackers and major releases or can I safely download from public trackers?
Even if they actually take me to court and win my $200 that I saved for a bad day, I'll just kill myself anyway and they'll lose more money in legal fees. If the stars align I might even become some sort of martyr.
Suing people for downloading stuff is pointless.

not sure about legality but i've never heard anyone get fucked for downloading or uploading anything ever here .
its less about legality and more about lack of enforcement ,there's a shitton of illegal shit going on even in plain sight everywhere but if nobody cares its usually ignored .
its just that in burgerland there's a huge concentration of people who get 'screwd over' by their shit getting pirated so they can influence enforcement .
I'm in France and I'm using the site, how fucked am I?

>>70077922
You don't want to lose your virginity that way trust me
The only time I was afraid was after I forgot to stop the torrent after downloading The Avengers and seeded something ridiculous like 4TB.
No. Why would that happen?
Land of the free all right, can't even share a string of numbers over the Internet.
>>70075925
It's not bad at all. There's one guy who has like 50 letters from comcast. What's the point of a lawsuit that will lose you more money?
>>70075896
Been doing it in Britain for a good 8 years never had a single problem, only time anything was tricky was when I went to university and lived in halls, the internet didn't allow torrent programs to work.
>>70082434
You could've just used a VPN to get around it.
Balkan slav here, I can download shit 24/7 with no IP protection whatsoever. Just straight up google chrome, piratebay/kickass and leeching the fuck out of everything, all that even with my gmail account signed in lol. If you told a policeman here to go arrest someone for "downloading torrents" he would probably laugh at your face and tell you to go bullshit somewhere else.
Feels good.
>>70080189
What do you mean without increasing the monthly fees? Do you really expect ISP's to cover the cost without trying to subsidize it from the consumers? An increase in cost equals in increase in price, there is no way around that without government regulation and there is no way the ACCC or any other ruling body would rule in favor of the consumers who are committing the crime. One could argue the ISP is at fault for providing the means but lets be serious, when was the last time an ISP was prosecuted when child pornography was the case.
>>70075896
First, I hardly ever use TPB, it's a minefield for legal notices
Second, when I do, I never EVER seed. That's how they find you
>>70075896
Not at all, it's completely legal in Italy, you can also seed as much as you want
>>70082623
FUCKING SUBHUMAN GOY PIECE OF SHIT
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>70082526
Same here in Spain
Law only prosecutes the sites and owners, but since they do all sort of tricks to avoid it it doesn't matter that much, only a couple public sites or long runing ones have been taken down

The misinformation itt is abhorrent.
First you need to understand how P2P works, which sadly most of you do not. 'don't seed / peerblock' response is inherently flawed, you would know that if you understood how it works.
'I torrented copyright materials for [insert x amount of years] and nothing has happened.'
Although that is true in many cases since third party content creators generally target the ISPs of up-loaders, it grants you absolutely no immunity. If you are in the swarm you can be tracked, your ISP subpoenaed, and sued. The ISP will give you up, do not doubt that.
Most likely they will just send you scare tactic emails if you are a small fish, but regardless... why have exposure when it is easily mitigated.
>How to prevent ISP DCMA infractions
>Use a 0 knowledge virtual private network that works in accordance with FIPS 197
This is the protocol the United States government uses to protect, SECRET and TOP SECRET information.
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips197/fips-197.pdf
This protocol can be used with both transmission and data storage.
Specifically with transmission, asymmetric encryption is utilized to effectively render your traffic as gibberish to anyone, including your ISP and peer/seeds of copyrighted materials.
tl;dr

Talking about Peerblock.. are there still lists for it that are maintained?
I heard the guy behind iblocklist.com (or whatever it's called) died and since then they haven't been updated.
>>70083008
From a perspective of someone that could absolutely catch you, do not trust it. It is impossible to generate a reliable list that is infallible. Use a box, or encrypt your connection. Those two options aside from using a public WAP, if the only way to ensure your anonymity.
Also, here's a newsflash 4chan is not anonymous.

I have 100's of dvd's and yet when I feel like watching a film I own, I would download it instead of going downstairs to fetch it.
That's how lazy I am.
I'd make a great fatty.
I don't waste space on things i'll only watch once. I just find streams. Don't know what the sue rate is on doing that, but nothing's happened yet and it's been years.
>>70082544
>Second, when I do, I never EVER seed. That's how they find you
They find you as soon as you start downloading if they are watching your swarm.
estimate the combined cash value ofeverything youve ever illegally dl'ed.

Stay away from free shit.
You can use HMA, air vpn, and there is a Russian one that works well.
Not all VPNs are created equal. It is important that you use a 0 knowledge vpn that uses bi directional 256 asymmetric encryption. Generally you want to go with one that is trusted, because the VPN is only as good as the company that provides it.
The cost is generally 50-100 USD per year (or less, you get what you pay for), but you get many nodes. (pic related).
That's air vpn. you get a little under a hundred nodes.
VPNs were used primarily with companies in the past, but they are a viable option for those that seek anonymity. This can be used for region restrictions, ban evasion, stealing content, or anonymity for the sake of anonymity.

My weight is a genetic problem, it is ignorant and insensitive to mention it.

Lowering the possibility but it is still possible, because there is nothing stopping a content creator from entering the swarm. Private trackers are exclusive, unless if you pay. Which makes it just as easy.
