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.
Wow in Canada you’ll maybe get a letter from your ISP telling you that they got a complaint and that they’re legally obligated to tell you to stop but that’s as far as it’ll go. If you keep torrenting without a VPN, you’ll just receive the same letter again but they don’t actually care
I don’t know if it’s still this strict in Germany today.
But I’ve got to say, it was an effective deterrent.
I haven’t torrented anything since then. Instead, I just download my movies directly now.
