Wtf man is this true? first time i heard about this shit

Basically here's how it works:
torrenting puts your IP with a bunch of other IPs.
So I have the file.
You and ten friends all download it from me.
I can see your IPs, you can see mine.
Anothe rperson downloasd the torrents, sees the IPs, searchs for the ISP they're from, then the ISP gets told "hey I'm a narc, please punish these people or we'll sue you"
ISP gives out a letter

Lots of ways to get aroudn it from "user ISP person, it's already been proven in court you cannot be held responsible for who has access to your internet that wasn't me. I don't even play games. Ijust watch netflix and fap to arianna grande on instagram

And so on

When you torrent you're broadcasting your ip out there for anyone to see, that's just the nature of the protocol.

so they wont report you to the copy right holder?
how do they even know if you get copyright content though a torrent

>will land you a DMCA
Just don't be american?

LOOOOOL imagine being a 1st world faggot and getting copyright strikes for downloading 0s and 1s from the internet. Meanwhile here we get fiber optic internet with no data caps and most of all no copyright strikes

NANI
FUGGGGGGG

ignore all the "copyright" emails as isps cant do shit.

>prove my IP did this

they can't

Sure if you're living in some 3rd world hellhole nobody is going to care. I've heard things are even more strict in a lot of areas in Europe though.

>just downloaded over 200GB of PS1 games from emuparadise without a vpn
i guess i'll see you guys in jail

nobody gives a fuck
just don't be american lmao

see so on the other side bro

It depends on the ISP - some won't care and some will.
One notorious one (in general as a service provider for phones too) here will throttle your connection, give you a dynamic IP, if you happen to have an IP that was downloading/uploading when someone else was using it, guess who gets blamed? Person with the IP now.

They only recently had to fire 90% of their call centre staff because of years of complaints

No-one gives a shit about ps1 enough to monitor them.

with provider care?

companies can't force ISPs to give out any personal data. At least in most countries.

exactly where in europe?
i haven't heard a peep from reliable sources and i live here.
sure, some sites have been shut down and some ISP's have pseudo-blocked access to some but that's about it.

Use a vpn or socks5 proxy. It only works out to the cost of like a single game each year.

What do you mean?
The people that got fired were helpdesk - the people who answer the phones or instant chat/email when you contact for help with your Internet or Phone

UK and Germany are the main ones I've heard about being strict about it.

Depends on the country, I live in a 3rd world jungle and I pirate everything I need and no one cares.

*which

You mean company? Eir in Ireland

DDL doesn't matter unless it's actual illegal content like bomb-making instructions or child porn.

The ISP are obliged to tell you to stop it, of course they don't really care and don't want you to stop it because you are paying them for the connection you are pirating with.

so all my years of never giving torrents much attention turned out to be effective after all

Torrents are different because you also share copyrighted material. The key word is "share", if you don't own the rights to it you can't share it with random people on the internet. Copyright holders notify your ISP because they notice you sharing movies/music/games etc from your computer which is what happens when you use P2P filesharing.

Just buy a vpn if your going to keep torrenting. Still cheaper than buying the content.

What video games are you seeding?

Most ISPs do not actually give a shit.

What happens is
>some guy working for company downloads popular torrents
>checks which IPs are downloading it
>reports it
>ISP sends letter
>ISP doesn't do shit

ISP ultimately doesn't care and won't want to cut your connection because you are giving them money. The above can be avoided if you download older torrents, torrent things that are obscure/aren't recent/won't have a massive company scanning for shit or torrents that aren't on mainstream websites like TPB.

In France we have hadopi regulating piracy
They communicate with ISPs and send gov warnings to users, you get 2 warnings then a 1500 eur fee
Only works in theory though, it's actually trash and you don't get caught 99% of the time, and even if you somehow get a first warning, you usually don't get a second one

I used to work for at&t tech support, they can even block your internet access until you watch a shitty video telling you pirating is bad

>2019
>torrents
>public trackers
If you get caught you deserve it

Also, thank God for my third world copyright laws, my ISP can't do shit, heh I would always laugh when a nigger called because AT&T blocked his internet access for downloading rap

I've always heard about these horror stories but never got anything from my years of torrenting. I don't know what the hell they keep track of at this point

iknowwhatyoudownload.com/en/peer/

DL'd a bunch from there and never received anything.

>The above can be avoided if you download older torrents, torrent things that are obscure/aren't recent/won't have a massive company scanning for shit or torrents that aren't on mainstream websites like TPB

This was my general rule of thumb until earlier this year, but even a lot of old and obscure things are being tracked now. I finally had to bite the VPN bullet after laughing at people with them for years.

are more and more people torrenting? I'm getting alot of ads form express VPN lately from alot of youtubers

9 times out of 10 nothing will happen

You're literally paying them, why would they want to stop the gravy train?

>bunch of stuff show up
>didn't download any of them
>one item is God Hand (USA)
Well at least they have good taste

the ISP knows when the IP address was leased, retard

if they own other media companies (like how comcast owns universal) then they will care more

It's possible your ISP just doesn't do anything with the notices they receive, which is nice on their part.

The government can already see all the shit you download can access it pretty much whenever they want.

The thing is they don't give a shit because so many people torrent. The only time they'll care is if you download something like cheese pizza

Mhmm
Now, be nice and explain, while apologizing for trying to start a flamewar, what me saying they blame the current IP holder has to do with them seeing who had what IP

I don't see why would they care. Bad for business.

Lol no, I live in the uk and I essentially downloaded the entire gamecube and PS1 catalogue alongside the entirety of evangelion without any notices.

they don't blame the current IP address holder, retard, they can look up which account had the IP, and obviously the copyright claimant will supply the date/time

Right. They should value you paying them more than some copyright troll business threatening them with baseless accusations on behalf of the copyright owners, but some go full retard on stuff like this.

How do I learn to torent

Also in a lot of cases you can't prove someone pirated just based off the IP alone because a lot of people share the same IP. An IP is just an IP, it doesn't actually track the person downloading

>no vpn but only ever got a notice when I torrented edge of tomorrow like 6 months after it came out
>mfw I ignored it and nothing happened

It's over, Navy Seals on the way to arrest you, delete your computer quick!

>if you download something like cheese pizza

How the fuck do you download food?

You don't. Leave torrents in 2009 where they belong and start using DDL.

>big ISPs are part of media conglomerates
gee I wonder

by growing a brain.

Probably isps that have media companies that are also owned by the same parent company or some shit.

>when you seeded 500gb of a game you never even played
So... is Koikatsu good now? Also get [Mu soft] Hizashi no Naka no Riaru english, decensored version.rar , I can only recommend it.

Again, you're starting to, well, trying to bait me into a flame war

Now would you like to READ my original post?
I'll post the parts that you should read:
One notorious one (in general as a service provider for phones too) here will throttle your connection, give you a dynamic IP, if you happen to have an IP that was downloading/uploading when someone else was using it, guess who gets blamed? Person with the IP now.

Now I'll do you even more favours and specify EXACTLY the understanding you should have
>One notorious one

ONE. SINGULAR. Not IPs in general

Oh shit. That could happen. But what if you don't have ISP that owns or is part of some shitty media network?

run on sentence, can't understand what the FUCK point you're trying to make

person who currently has the IP address doesn't get blamed, that would be more retarded than your post

>only time I got a letter was when I was acestreaming the mcgregor/mayweather fight
they're a joke

>seeding HS
Holy fucking shit user learn2irc

I don't think a vpn hides what you do from your actual provider. All that data still goes through them.

>person who currently has the IP address doesn't get blamed

Okay you're not reading my posts. You're not a member of this coutnry so you don't know how the ISP works and frankly you're just trying to bait me more and more

so we're done - I know what I'm talking about in regards to the most notorious ISP in Europe. You do not.
Good day.

You realise that they literally can't do anything, right?

>Not deleting the trackers
lmao

They can't ignore DMCA claims or else they will be fined.

it's encrypted, so all they see is that some traffic is happening, but not what it is and only that it's between you and your VPN

>have VPN
>can't post on Yea Forums with it unless I buy a gay ass pass
At least the ISP won't know I'm torrenting all sorts of freaky porn.

>nothing

The same way you download cars.

Get yourself a superior client like irssi or weechat and write a script that automatically messages the bot closest to you with a DCC SEND request when it posts the name of a series you're interested in.

Yes maybe in the US.

>Hakumei to Mikochi
fantastic taste my friend.

Weird. I've had Comcast/XFinity for years now and have NEVER been given a notice for DMCA or going over their """""cap""""". Maybe they like me for some reason?

>how do they even know if you get copyright content though a torrent
In civilized countries it would be illegal for an ISP to sniff your traffic to that degree unless they are government owned.
Here in the USA it's 100% within their rights to invade your privacy.

>True Detective
Based and Rustpilled

The ISPs don't sniff your traffic. How it works is copyright management agencies connect to a public tracker, scrape the other IPs connected, and file abuse reports to the ISPs because guess what you're sharing copyrighted content.

>not knowing about 14 Eyes
inb4 living in zimbabwe

We've had our internet cut for 24 hours last time. Next time is a week. Been using a VPN since then.

>How it works
That's not how it works. I work for Spectrum and I can 100% sniff anyone's traffic I want to in this area.

I think user means that generally you don't sniff traffic unless you have to.
E.g., you aren't going to actively hunt for pirated content

I got a warning for downloading an episode of the new fooly cooly season when it came out. I didn't bother with the rest of the episodes because it was boring. One time I got a warning for downloading Seven Samurai. Worth it for a movie that good.

>ueno

Yeah, they like you because you're willing to pay for their overpriced internet.
