It is nothing of significance WRT prosecution or any kind of legal action. It is nothing useful.

Doesn’t that just hide the specific content? They still know where the content is coming from?
And not everything done online, especially things that can get you in trouble with authorities (like torrenting copyrighted material) can be done through https.
That doesn’t really make a difference if no traffic history is saved. If there are no logs of traffic saved, there’s noting that can be tied to the account.
Yes, any VPN provider will see what’s in your traffic, no way around that…ever…no matter who you choose
however not all VPN providers will keep a record of your traffic, so it may only exists briefly in their servers as it passes through and then it’s gone. This is how companies like mullvad operate. Even if the cops come with a warrant, there will be no evidence because nothing is saved.
It doesn’t exist on TMDB, which is what radarr actually uses when you search.
I would just manually add it in my media library directory and import to jellyfin (in my case, don’t know what you use)
Yeah but like I said, anyone who calls you will just hear the “busy” tone or direct to voicemail. They won’t get the “invalid number” tone like OP wants.
They do, at least where i live (not UK, but still Europe)
AFAIK this is not possible for a working number. Failed dial tone and “text message not delivered” are handled on the carrier level, if you block a number then they’ll just get a “busy” tone when calling and nothing when texting. You can’t blanket reject everything while retaining data, unless you disconnect from cellular and only use WiFi.
Man I fucking hate telesyncs…I accidentally downloaded a TS deadpool&wolverine because I got so exited when I saw it that I didn’t read the title properly so I didn’t notice the “TS”. I was so disappointed when I wanted to watch that and found out it was TS. 100% my own fault, but still sucked.
If there was a completely zero percent risk that I would be used as a node for something truly horrible, I also wouldn’t mind. But I’d rather torrent with a slightly elevated risk rather than enabling things that should not be enabled. By torrenting with a VPN, at least I have the control over what happens on my network and exactly what data I’m part of sharing.
VPNs log your IP.
But they don’t log the data going through. The IP alone will not be enough for a conviction at all. They also need to prove that you acquired/shared copyrighted content. Any proper VPN isn’t going to log that.
But if you think like that I suppose you aren’t very interested in running TOR relays or exits either.
No, I’m not at all interested in that either. I don’t want to risk any nefarious traffic that I have no control over running through my network.
I get the appeal of I2P for torrenting and I can absolutely see the value it can bring. But as long as I will have to be a node for other random peoples traffic, I’ll pass.
A good VPN won’t have any details to hand over that will convict you, even if they wanted to (e.g. mullvad), so they most definitely are enough.
And police are not going after citizens, rights holders are (like they always have been) by suing ISPs in hopes of getting your info.
What in don’t like about I2P, is being a node for other peoples traffic.
A proper VPN provider is sufficient to protect against this though. If you, as a Swedish citizen, weren’t already using a VPN, you were being an idiot.
I mean, it still makes sense to also use I2P, but it is currently not good enough as a full replacement.
Yeah but putting it on 4G gives them a reason to charge for continuous use of the system and lock them in to their web based proprietary platform.
Removing DRM from a legally obtained copy is not illegal in itself.
It is technically not illegal to remove the DRM, if the purpose is just to read it and the DRM is not compatible with my reading device. I just still have to honour the lending agreement I made with my local library.
IDK about movies/TV shows being in decline here, it seems to be in better shape now than when I first left the sea 15 years ago. New stuff, especially movies, hits the trackers way faster than they did “back then” and are easily available from public trackers. I can still find all the older things I want, granted some it only on the private trackers I’m using, but it’s being kept alive. Old or niche media has always been the hardest to find with torrents, but it really feels easier now than it did when I first started out 25 years ago.
As for books, I rent most of them from my local library as e-books, strip the DRM so I can read on me reader, and immediately return so someone else can rent them. I haven’t really needed to pirate a book in years by doing it this way.
We don’t have plunder, that would imply that we’re stealing.
I’ve used seedit4.me before, but they’re really expensive if you want any meaningful amount of storage on them.
That’s what I meant for giving it to us for free.
Fair enough, that wasn’t clear to me at least.
Yes there are, your data still resides in their servers as it passes through them though. But like I said, as soon as it has been processed there is no log of it so it is only present briefly and not in a persistent manner.
