That's just plain wrong. Maybe if you are downloading the latest hollywood flick from TPB you'll get a "Abmahnung" but that's about it. It's nowhere near "dead". If you are not using one of the big public trackers you won't have a problem. There are also free templates to fight these letters.
- solnyshok 12y agodo they attack you for using btsync between your own PCs?
- dewey 12y agoOf course not, nobody's attacking anyone for using a protocol. The only group targeted are people downloading certain movies or music where the company owning the content instructed another company to grab the peerlist of said torrent (in this case) and to get the info on the peers so they can send them scary letters extorting money.
