literally nothing's stopping them from ratting you out if law enforcement comes knocking at their door

I've probably only torrented about $500 worth of movies considering most of them are old shit that can be had super cheap.
This is literally petty theft and isn't even punished on the first offense in my state.

this just puts out garbage if you have a dynamic IP anyway

>>iknowwhatyoudownload.com/en/peer/

Ohhh shit bois I am fucked. didn't know this was a thing till now.

>start clicking on similar IPs
>some dude distributing CP en masse
surely these lists are fake right?
are people that stupid?

You must live in a good 3rd world shithole, like me.

t. Brazilians
t. Russians

Dynamic IP addresses are nice.
Also CP guy could just be a seed box. But yes people are that dumb.

This.
Faggot OP, state your country.

I've been doing it since like 2006

Not OP, but I live in Greece, and I have been torrenting for 8+ years without VPN.

>Torrenting when you can find virtually anything and download it directly.

is piracy legal there, or just nobody bothers doing anything about it?

...

The latter probably. The most recent (and actually first ever) action by the authorities here against piracy was to block thepiratebay, yts, ytssubtitles and some other piracy domains. Easily circumnavigated with a proxy, the tor browser or just using a non-ISP DNS server and they didn't even block all of them. 1337x for example works normally. That happened a couple of months ago.

how does this work?

Honestly a tor or a vpn is only small potatoes for protection.

Sure if you're a pedo or a high profile target you should go the extra steps. That or if you live in your standard dystopian western society.

So? Just don't live in the FREEDOM™ land that you won't have any issues.

Imagine living in a third world country where this could become a problem

Kinda hard to do if they don't keep logs. Also, they'd be killing their own business if they did that

Live in freedom land, and I never had an issue torenting, or any p2p without using a proxy/VPN.

What about Germany?

>Don't keep logs
Kind of hard to do when this is a requirement to be able to do business in most of the countries that VPN companies operate in.

Why would you get a VPN from somewhere where they're required to keep logs?

>out of hundreds of torrents seeding 24/7 this only displays ones I didn't actually download
hilarious

For people wondering a lot of trackers will poison their own swarm records on purpose.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opentracker
>opentracker may mix in random IP address numbers for the purpose of plausible deniability

Unless the VPN is operating illegally then they are in fact keeping logs well that is unless you're going through an established micronation who you know won't sell you out for gibs.

you can view the list of IPs using the same torrent as you
so the site connects to a bunch of torrents and logs all IPs that interact with them
that's why you can blacklist IP ranges in some torrent clients but it's not guaranteed to make you safe

How does a VPN not keep logs?
Do they pretend that they don't have ram, or hard drives?

based

PIA is hosted in the US but seems like they had nothing to give to FBI
I'm assuming they delete them instead of saving them for safe keeping. That's what the "keep" part seems to imply

They sell them. Sending logs is technically a way of getting rid of them so you're not "keeping" them.

>PIA is hosted in the US but seems like they had nothing to give to FBI
So you were told. Honeypots work better when they seem secure. Also the US technically has a few laws in place to make it difficult to go after Americans (hence the elaborate deals leaked by Snowdon), but non Americans are fair game.

Lel how do you guys get caught? Back in my time I used to smuggle cigarettes and repackage sugar and hadn't had issues although I was very close to taking my time in the slammer with the sugar repackaging scheme.

>how do you guys get caught?
I'm convinced it's nothing but propaganda from MPAA/DMCA people.
They push out all kinds of FUD to disrupt and scare people.
>if you torrent you'll go to jail, it happened to me!
>ok but if you're going to torrent rememebr to cap your upload so they don't detect you
>if you stop the torrent they can't detect you
>buy my VPN for true anonimity

What the fuck guys you really can have legal issues for torrenting in your countries?
Here in Argentina downloading CP wasn't illegal until 1 year ago, why even bother when torrenting, the future is so dark

>So you were told.
Seems to be the best information we have on it. Other than that, it's just guesses.

it's capitalism at work, law firms go after people on behalf of corporations demanding stupid amounts of money for downloading something or they'll take you to court

Well I hope you guessed right, then.

So, you are just not a mutt?

Capitalism is ruining the internet, I want it to being back anarcho-communist, imagine is no one would give a fuck about laws or money and just shared everything for free with their comrades

Do they even go after mutts? Most the news I've seen is usually about some yuroshit getting caught, and fined.

It's very unlikely any of these bigger VPN companies are going to burn their customers for torrenting, that would be suicide for them. If I was doing anything sketchier, yeah I wouldn't trust VPN companies to not sell me out.

been doing it for at least 14 years.

The most that'll happen is that they tell you to stop anyways. Even without a VPN.

>signing yourself willingly to death because nobody would give anything for free to you
That's real honourable of you user.

Clique-based capitalism, which is what anarcho communism turns into at the end, is the worst form of socialistic ideal though.

Never said that the society should be an anarcho-comunism, that would be retarded like any kind of anarchism, im saying that the internet should work like that

>Downloads 6000 copies of the Debian Netinst through Torrent
Yeah... I torrent

There has been extortion letters, court cases and the like in Finland. I'd rather avoid that.

About right.

people just don't give a fuck

Since the days of Kazaa, padawan.

What was p2p before Napster?
>Message boards/news groups
>Direct downloads
I vaguely remember also direct downloading from personal dump sites. Not even sure if the owners meant for other people to use them.

I'd rather not move just to torrent, so VPN it is

i bet half the ftp sites i visited weren't really public

Baseado e torrent pilhado

I remember that most of them was easy to gain access into. Like just add something like"/admin" to the address bar, or spam the wrong password until you got access.

>requiring VPN to torrent

Nobody cares if it isn't Hollywood movies, music, or AAA games.
