I just want to torrent a little HQ music with metadata man.
I used to pay for streaming music but due to current affairs and financial instability… I wont pay for that shit anymore.
I was thinking doing the whole shenanigans with an old laptop, a fresh VPN account, scanning with clamav, moving everything to my cloud drive etc.
But is it even worth the extra steps if I won’t get in any trouble for raw dogging the torrents from my main workstation and my everyday VPN account?
I did some research and found many people recommend some level of opsec. Does it matter?
I’m not US based but I am close with many people that is, both professionally and personally.
Yes, this shit is way more automated than ten years ago. Consider the legal frustrations of IP holders and how relentless they are despite lack of success. This means in order to show that they are trying to fix the impossible problem, they will go after you within 30min for a single download. Use a VPN!
No offense but it is unlikely your musical taste isn’t under the umbrella of protection
