Turns out the powershell step is enough to get 97% of users to shell out cash.

And also, the biggest source of revenue is institutions who either will pay for the enterprise license, or can be sued for a good payday if they try to pirate.

There are a lot of interesting comments there as well for those who are interested.

The comment I liked best is:

There isn't one. The purely decentralized model of eMule and gnutella and similar systems has proven to perform poorly compared to the bittorrent/tracker model, for searches in particular. You can almost completely avoid trackers with DHT and magnet links, the tracker pages just "advertise" the torrent.

If you want alternatives, the main one with significant traffic is Freenet. Freenet is really slow and mostly CP (because everyone else is using torrents).

retroshare, which is more for private sharing, has already been mentioned.

My own opinion? Torrents require minimal resources from users other than sharing the specific file. Advertising the file, tracking the file, searching for the file can be passed on resource wise to a trusted person who wants Internet karma. The simple statement: have a ratio of 1.0 can resonate with most 🦍.

Bemoaning the unpopularity of eMule seems to me like another case of programmers ignoring what makes humans tick.

It’s means the government can watch you visit the porn site. The rest is their imagination.

Postman tracker is the main one on i2p.

And the longer your i2p runs, the faster its connection.

For grabbing a torrent anonymously, there is nothing better.

Tribbler has a similar idea, but as they state in their website nothing has actually been tested against a motivated hacker earning big bucks from Hollywood. And their default settings just expose your ip address.

Like the Bible thumpers banning all the escort sites. When the FBI told them not to because it would make catching the traffickers harder, and now it’s harder.

I2P has a built in torrent client.

But you need a computer running 24/7. With i2p, the longer your session runs, the better the connection.

They’re closer to a cooperative.

It’s not casually allowed. The courts have determined there can be minor intrusions into your body under strictly limited conditions including after a warrant. Arguing that the whole thing is crazy is pointless because you have no constitutional protection once a judge certifies the circumstances necessitate it.

The prosecutors are the ones pushing to get rid of the warrant requirement for blood draws.

You have the option of refusing the breathalyzers, but most legislatures have the automatic clause that you instantly get treated as failing the breathalyzer test.

A minor who gets her face turned into porn wouldn’t be able to sue because it’s not photoshop, it’s AI. /s

If blood draw is done properly it should be pretty uneventful.

Permanent damage could get a lawsuit to compel a less risky procedure by the cops.

Depends on their legal status. Could they get sued by a victim?

Its in the first sentence:

Apple and Google have removed apps that promised deepfake nudes

The apps promised to fuck other people over. Your other suggestions have other uses than making fake nudes.
