  • What a tricksy thieving hobbit you are! /s

    You’ll be fine. Stop seeding the thing they don’t like and increase your security—VPN, seedbox, private trackers, etc. If anybody asks, you had an asshole neighbor kid who guessed your WiFi password.

    Edit: just realized that you were using a server with Hetzner—Germany is one of the worst places for torrenting. Get a server in a friendlier country for that.

  • Never use a service that requires you to share the files you downloaded to pirate, not without a VPN. As you've might have noticed, their complaint is for distribution, not downloading. That's where they get you.

  • You quietly comply. Then take tougher security measures to protect yourself before continuing. Do not respond under any circumstances. If you're served with actual legal papers, retain an attorney.

  • I've found Usenet backbone+indexer to be the same price as VPN while being significantly faster to download, no seeding required.

    It allows more complicated setups like radarr+sonarr which download episodes as they come out, at around your internet speed.

  • Bro, try to enjoy your next family affair. They're going to turn you into a psa on why pirating is unhealthy.

    You should probably stop using windows too bc Microsoft will freely work with lawyers in fleshing out your case of piracy. So be sure to turn off windows updates and disable all telemetry updates as well.

    If I were you, I'd spin up whatever os you wish to use in a virtual environment that is disposable and use it from now on with a vpn.

    Also, if you have any smart features in your home, be sure to toss them out in the garbage bc they are listening... and probably watching. So put some tape over your webcam on your computer.

    Remember to reset your router too bro... they might be in that shit... Intel inside, yanno the saying right?

    No more TV for atleast a month and especially if you only use streaming services like spotify, Disney +, Netflix and so on.

    Best wishes to you my friend... ya might consider going off grid too just to be safe.

    Good Luck! ❤️
