The honeypot isn't the torrent site. You can use any site in the world or no site at all and still get busted. It's a peer to peer network, and the people busting you are seeding the torrents themselves. They catch you when you peer with them.
Use a VPN, and read more.
- crumpled 3y agoJust to be clear, the rights holders probably aren't publishing torrents, they just also download them and monitor anybody that happens to connect with their seed. In a way, they are helping us with better download speeds.
- 8organicbits 3y agoI'd be interested in the legal argument that by sharing their media in this way, the rights holders are authorizing the download.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoIf it's a problem at all, it seems like they could easily bypass it by only offering a couple chunks rather than the whole file.
- rightbyte 3y agoYou can offer 0 chunks and still see the seeders, right? How would you otherwise start leeching.
- partiallypro 3y agoI'm sure they are capping their upload speeds to basically nothing and just monitoring the IPs that connect to it.
- crumpled 3y agoLeachers, haha. I do the same, minus the logging.
