Our elected officials have stolen 16 trillion, and they are worried about prosecuting people sneaking into the movies!
Play nice...
Whenever I don my eyepatch it is only through trusted private trackers and with encryption, and then if its something I actually liked I go and buy it anyway ;)
Funny
Uhhhh.... because nothing is being “downloaded” per se.
If you didn’t pay for the license to stream (say) a video — how is that different from other forms of theft or fraud? It’s called “piracy” for a reason.

Everything on the net travels through many computers, if you’ve identified your material on a bittorrent server you know where it is, you look and see what IPs it’s sending packets to, you can even get the hops, which will tell you who their ISP is, you report the IP and time to the ISP, they know which account logged into the network to have that IP at that time.
Because every packet tells every computer it goes through where it’s going it’s all very easy.
Using a proxy will only help until they start monitoring traffic around known proxies. Streaming changes nothing, data packets are data packets, they all have their destination IP.
I have one simple rule when it comes to Bit Torrent.
Get it quick, delete all the torrent files when done, turn the program off, and stick with crap no one cares about.
I’ve seen people that had dozens of files going that left their client running 24/7. Absolutely nuts!
