I downloaded one thing from https://rarbg.to https://rarbg.to 2 weeks ago and got threatening copyright infringement notice emails and a physical letter from my ISP (AT&T fiber).
The well is poisoned by cheapshot MPAA/*AA monitoring.
- Akronymus 3y agoI feel quite lucky that my ISP doesn't care, as long as you don't start seeding egregiously.
- uguuo_o 3y agoI never download anything without a VPN. I download and seed TBs of data without ever having issues from ISP.
- nvy 3y agoWho's your VPN provider? Aren't they all of dubious trustworthiness?
- ls612 3y agoIt’s mostly you use the VPN when doing certain activities so that the copyright notices can go to effectively /dev/null, and otherwise don’t need to use it.
- uguuo_o 3y agoMost are. Mullvad is the one I settled on. I pay via cash through mail, it has worked pretty well for the last few years.
- wahnfrieden 3y agowhy are you talking about GNAA? the nazi org? Edit: the OP edited their post . The initially made a joke calling RIAA the “Gay N… Association of America”, a neonazi shock-propaganda org ran by the Stormfront admin and then by an at the time Cloudflare employee. Cloudflare knew about this employee and their self proclaimed naziism but it's obscured behind some veil of jokes or weird definition of what racism really means but that's a whole other topic lol
- nibbleshifter 3y agoThey aren't. They are talking about RIAA/MPAA. Who also are fashy cuntos.
- labster 3y agoWhoosh
- maccard 3y agoThat same torrent could have been discovered from the Pirate Bay, though.
- SamuelAdams 3y agoHave you tried using blocklists on your torrent client?
- geraldhh 3y agoi would have thought that the essentially unlimited access to new ip-addresses via commodity cloud instances would thoroughly wreck any utility of static blocklists, but ten years later, here we are.
- grujicd 3y agoI'm using rarbg with zero repercussions (one of benefits of East Europe, among many drawbacks). But I also have zero moral issues. I'm paying for few streaming services and I don't even get access to their own material (e.g. Westworld), not to mention other content which was available at the time but no longer is. Unfortunately, the only way to have access to older content is to have your own pirated copy. Even music services are not what they used to be. It happens more and more often that you open a relatively older album and half of songs are grayed out.
- Firmwarrior 3y agoYeah man, it's frustrating. I buy DVDs where I can, but even that's not really feasible for a lot of stuff nowadays, and I'm enjoying everything in English. I can only imagine how obnoxious things get when there's no official translation into your own language and the untranslated version comes with DRM that makes it unwatchable, but you can pirate a great localized copy in seconds
- crazygringo 3y agoThat's nothing to do with RARBG though, that's your ISP. People who want to avoid that use a VPN, regardless of where they find their torrents.
