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.
I’ve had Xfinity /Comcast for like 15 years.
I pirate stuff all the time on bit torrent.
Every now and then I get a letter, text, or email saying something like “We have a report you illegally shared a file. Please don’t. No actual consequences will happen”.
It’s always been some popular TV show. Always. Like game of thrones episodes. Westworld (back in the day). Maybe rick and morty. ? I can’t recall for sure. I do know it’s been TV shows only. And popular ones.
I’ve probably gotten about a dozen in the 15 years.
Nothing ever done.
