Do they know what you are downloading though? I still use it for a lot of stuff that’s legal. How do they go after people (I guess you imply they do)?
- 0xDEADFED5 3y agoProbably the same way other people do it: DHT surveillance of suspected copyrighted works which log IPs of seeders... or some variation of that
- lukan 3y agoImportant to know, authorities usually do not go after downloaders/consumers of piracy. But those who distribute it - but if you participate in bittorrent - you are distributing. And it is really easy to track the IPs, as it is fundamentally part of how bittorrent works that everyone in the network has the IPs of the other participants. So a VPN is advisable.
