FWIW YMMV and laws change so I wouldn't advise anyone running such a service from spain doxxed. But using it? It's not germany where predatory lawyers will try to sue you out of torrenting ubuntu or whatever
- ramesh1994 4y agoWas it for seeding/hosting torrents or from just downloading them? How long did the whole thing take to play out? I've always assumed that consuming torrents has been low stakes to the point where its not worth any enforcement
- tough 4y agoThey go after the site operators if they can. In my case It was link sharing, no torrents, and at that time that didnt constitute -public publishing- as the link linked to some 3rd party host, and it was also user generated content. FWIW they've only won some fringe cases where they scared the person into accepting the charges. But Im not 15 anymore and wouldn't risk it tbh
- the_gipsy 4y agoYea the key point is link sharing. Spanish torrent sites have been closed down on ISP level and sued on the grounds of profiting from ads.
