my dad and older brother both received multiple warnings (over several years) but nothing ever happened as long as they deleted whatever and chilled out on the downloading for a while. i think it's related to both of them having security clearances and also working for the government. or maybe they're retards and consistently pick bad links.

lol if you get a cease and desist dont delete the files. your isp cant tell whats on your drive

Someone just suggested to me that the new Pirate Bay might be a government honeypot...which would be amazing

I don't think we know who is hosting it, which makes me think it could be a honeypot.

But you shouldn't be using public torrent sites anyway. Or torrents at all imo. Plenty of safer ways to get your :filez:

It's not like you knew who was hosting it before so why would not knowing now matter? Tin foil hats make yall stupid

There's several mirror sites that are going to claim to be TPB but I don't really give a poo poo who is who until someone gets at least a significant portion of the content back online. Losing TPB was a gigantic blow considering there's no other site even close to that level of content.

Last time the servers were hosted by the Swedish Pirate Party, which was supposed to grant them immunity to raids.

Loosing TPB isn't a big deal, because all of the sites aggregate torrents from each other. No content has been lost, because all of these public trackers have the exact same torrents.

They wouldn't do it randomly, they'll ask the isp for a list of the sites accessed by that same IP address. If there's anything leftist, activist, or about social justice in there then they move forward with it. Well, that's how I'd do it.

Oh and you pull up their ID once you know their identity. If they're white don't bother with a proper bust, just send a cease and desist. Again, pretty much just like weed.

lol if you think government isn't pushing leftist poo poo

yeah I'm sure our government loves libertarianism or right wing full freedoms(for the cishetwhite master race, ofc) instead of thought policing/censorship/privilege checking

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense

EugeneJ posted:

What would happen if some big artist like Taylor Swift decided to combat piracy by selling preorders and saying "if I don't get 1 million preorders, I don't release the album"?

That would seem fair in my mind

Same thing with movies - the studios can sell tickets online and have a quota, and if the quota's not reached, they don't put it out

Taylor Swift's studio accidentally released 8 seconds of white noise on her iTunes and it sold like a million copies for $1.30 each why do people still pretend the big studios don't make like a gazillion dollars constantly.
