What's the point of paying for piracy?
it's a service issue. if it was $5/month for every streaming service including music and current tv, would you pay for that service? how many hoops or hassles would you be willing to tolerate for that price point and access?
I don't have speed issues with torrents / soulseek for that tho. Can still be encrypted.
if you're paying for a vpn, then paying for usenet is no different.
IF YOU ARE JUST OUT THERE RAWDOGGING TORRENTS IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2023 then you are a fucking legend.
myself, i don't pay for either, but i do use xdcc still and i use i2p which supports torrenting.
But I'm not. The only thing I'm going is requiring encrypting from all peers and using this blacklist.
Guess I'm a fucking legend 😂 😂
FUCKING LEGEND
Encryption doesn't protect you from being identified. Encryption prevents eavesdropping unto the connection from a third party. DMCA lawyers don't need to do that to identify you as a seeder. All they need to do is request the content from you, watch you send to them, and make a record of your ip address.
The blacklist, maybe protects you. No idea. Though it can easily be circumvented by a motivated group.
Yes I'm aware of this fact. And I'm not saying what I do is for anyone and everyone, not even suggesting it.
