And apparently, as long as you don't read them, if you only need a license to view... I hope the huge new antipiracy push that is coming will require litigators to prove that you're actually viewing the material you pirate. Which would make Plex and friends with their metrics a bad idea to trust with all of your pirated content. Though the antipiracy push is going to focus on the torrent sites themselves.

The torrent sites is how meta and friends get their books. They are safe.

      Teenage me who wanted information to be free didn't imagine this would be the result. It's like everything I wanted to happen in the 00s did, but from the monkeys paw. The only way I can think of fixing this is by giving rights to flesh and blood people that corporations don't have. GPL? Humans only. Free speech? Humans only.
