Could? Why don't you? Stop feeding this terrible industry doing everything it can to put the personal computing genie back in the bottle.
- Clamchop 2y agoRights holders are pretty good these days about notifying your ISP so they can send nastygrams threatening to terminate service. Usually there's something like a three-strikes policy. So, safe torrenting involves either paying for a seedbox, or tunneling your client through a VPN. I'm sure you know all this already, just putting this as a warning to passers-by.
- akimbostrawman 2y agoCorrect but 0-5$ a month is still cheaper and less effort than 10 different streaming services for +10$ each with the added benefit of preventing ISP surveillance.
