It probably depends more on where you're getting stuff from. If you're stealing dlsite rips via mega no-one will know or care but if you're getting your marvel movies straight from the disney honeypot you're fucked.

How can they access your browser? Do you need to run some kind of client? What the fuck?

Depends on what you're torrenting
Anime? Who gives. The latest marvel movie? STOP RIGHT THERE

Did anyone ever get suspended because of this? They're probably just trying to scare you.

They wont actually terminate your service. Depending on your country and local laws the third parties don't even actually have the authority to enforce the copyright, they just send notices. It's purely for intimidation. Alternatively call your provider and complain that they are sharing your activity with third parties. You pay them for the account, nobody pays them to uphold copyrights. Which do you think they'd rather have?

This is why I only pirate Japanese shit.

Get a VPN. My ISP is notorious for sending notices. I pirate all my shit behind the VPN and have never gotten caught once.

In Sweden there are some people that send tons and tons of demand letters to random people (even if they have not even downloaded or done anything wrong) that tells you to send them like 200 bucks or something or they will take it to the court.
And this is fully legally to do.

But I live in a state that actually puts its citizens above corporations, so I'm not worried.

Talking about how NordVPN was accused of selling their users extra bandwidth?

You have to do this shit in plain view (ie your gay free VPN) for literal weeks before any of these copyright threats, which are relayed from copyright holders, are actionable. Even big bad moneygrubbing ISPs like cumcast truly do not care that much about you pirating, they're too busy fucking you in their own ways and just have to cover their asses so the copyright jews don't go after them for facilitating. For analogy you are the naive sorority girl whose had too many drinks (files) and the copyright holders are the big jock about to rape you. Do you necessarily deserve it, no, but you could have taken steps to prevent yourself from getting into the situation.

There is nothing wrong with bagged milk.

Depends on the torrent, normies that torrent big movies and shit that came out recently will get fucked by notices if they didn't use a VPN. Pirating anime or more niche games won't get you notices. I have seen people get notices for torrenting really weird porn though, I've gotten a notice on my ISP a while back that someone on my network torrented Transsexual Babysitters 27. It couldn't have been me since i'm not into babysitters so it was probably my dad or some shit.

I got a copyright strike for torrenting Legend of Korra just a couple months ago for whatever fuckin reason

I'm actually pretty curious how the piracy/torrent scene in Japan is.
I'd like to think it'd be pretty big but then again people still buy physical CDs for everything so I wonder.

Japan has bizarrely severe laws, the drug laws make the 1980's US look like the Netherlands. You get like 5 years over there for a bag of weed.

that's just some gay boy scare tactics. ignore them.

I got one of those for the first time ever a few days ago. I haven't pirated anything in months so I have no idea why I got it.

This isnt common among internet providers, only COX and Comcast

You either live in a third-world shithole or a country that has far harsher internet laws.

DNS. They could make it where a DNS lookup will always route to the warning page.

do you own your modem user?

U can download pirated content but not upload, just asked my Japanese gf about that because i never really thought about it before

Maybe someone got on your wi-fi. If you type your default gateways IP address into your browser you can log-in and look at every device connected to your wifi and block them

Probably a bot giving out those notices, usually they have a bot tracking the really popular torrents of sites and checking through the IP addresses of anyone that's torrenting it and sending out notices if it's a IP they recognize.

I imagine it's there still, but kept quiet. Like you don't brag about piracy or any shit, you just get your shit and leave while using a VPN since you'll probably be shamed and arrested quickly if you admit to it.
I wonder what's the drug market like in Japan. I'm pretty sure they mainly do shrooms and shit since that was legal for the longest time in Japan and I doubt that sub-culture would go away easily.

When you tell people this you inevitably get replies from idiots who don't understand why people use them. They honestly think you're doing it so you can be part of "MUH SEEKRET CLUB" and have some misplaced sense of superiority over people who use public trackers.

bitgamer shut down in 2013, it's probably back up by now but I haven't bothered seeking out an invite.

BC, the leftmost province of Canada, is just bullshit

A crazy person existing is fine, people supporting them would be a problem, but since the support tweet was satire there's no issue.

Here in Japan if your ISP thinks you're torrenting (usually they can tell because you upload a lot that's only feasible with torrenting) you immediately get shut off. They don't fuck around with that. Never got shit for downloading though.

That's the thing, ISPs only send them to you to scare you into knocking it off rather than completely block you. In all actuality, they're just upholding their end of the bargain to copyright holders to cover their ass, but they'd rather keep you as a customer than forcibly shut you out and lose business. It's all smoke and mirrors.

>im not iptor superuser with x+TB of credit

Germany does that too. I downloaded something that was copyrighted by Warner and a lawyer firm send me a cease and desist letter and wanted 850€ or else they would take me to court. They work together with IPs so they know you shared something and they will take you to court. In this situation you basically have to take a lawyer because otherwise they will just sue and try to get the money that way. In the end all I had to pay was 70 bucks for the initial meeting with the lawyer, but for like 3 years they kept sending me more and more threatening letters, it gets pretty hardcore actually with shit like "if you dont pay up within the next week you might face jail time". The lawyer said, just ignore everything, they do that to around 30k other people. Lawyer said the only time where they actually got through with it was when his client literally said "yes I did share the files with other people on the internet" in court. The most insane thing is that 850€ is the maxium they can take for an album, it used to be every more, up to several thousand euro until they standardised it. I shared maybe 50kb because I am a leech fag, but my lawyer said it doesnt matter and trying the "I shared 0,5% of the album so I will pay 0,5% of the fee" doesnt work.

>I wonder what's the drug market like in Japan.

whats a good free VPN to use?

The ISP doesn't inspect your packets. They don't give a fuck what you do.
Media companies just download torrents of their own content, record the IP addresses of everyone who sends them data, and then notify the ISPs who are compelled by law to bully you.

as someone who works for an ISP:

when you pirate, we can see everything on your account.

we don't actually want to do these notices and really don't care. we are obliged by law to do so.

we don't actively monitor what you do on the internet. we receive these notices from third-party investigation.

most of the time you'll get off with a warning or be forced to call in and do a "security" scan with our agents to ensure you have no viruses, malware, etc.

It would be a chore to oversee and mitigate piracy wherever and whenever it happens
Anti-piracy efforts are undertaken by the corporations who are concerned with loss of profit
If the company is too small to do this, nothing is done
If there is little money to be lost, nothing is done
Essentially, what you should be concerned about are AAA media that are new or relevant, in the case of things getting re-releases
I've pirated a number of older anime, niche and popular Japanese music of the 70s and 80s, nothing is ever done
Someone in my family tried pirating Disney and got a bunch of letters

The only reason CDPR gave to pay for the game was to "support the developer" which has nothing to do with the legality of it, but the founders sure weren't supporting the developers when they were selling their pirated games.
They couldn't say to buy the physical copy so they can get something in return for their money either, since the vanilla """""physical copies""""" of Witcher 2 had Securom

Any questions?

The publishers sometimes monitor torrents, keep in mind that the downside of how p2p sharing works is that anyone connected can see your IP address. Then the publisher sends a complaint to the ISP associated with the IP address, and the ISP then in turn sends a notice to the end user.

It's all completely meaningless though.

>if you do illegal stuff in your house its nobodies business
It doesnt work that way. By pirating copyrighted shit you commited a crime against someone, even if its a crime that usually nobody gives a shit about. Like I said, if you dont react to the letter at all they will keep sending them and then one of the next letters youll get will be an invitation to your district court. The entire lawyer firm is specialised for that, they literally do nothing else than to send out cease and desist letters and work their way from there.

Yikes

>dingus can't use a VPN

user, your sister isn't dealing anymore?

they don't, the copyright holders hire someone to trawl torrent sites and collect IP addresses, then they mass send them to ISP's and the ISP sends a "warning"

No proof or evidence is needed,in fact most of these are defeated in court because its actually impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt

It's just like DMCA, all the power is in a corporations hands(because they wrote the law) and they can exploit and use bad faith with no consequences

Unironically, this is why DSL was always better than Cable to me. Cable had better upload speed, though that's basically flipped in the last 5 years it seems, but it also usually had bandwidth caps and cable ISPs were extra autistic about torrents. I had Comcast for awhile in 2015 and they sent me my first and only letter (because I switched back). Trying to keep my bandwidth usage under the 300Gb a month cap was actual hell.

a DVD-R should last at least 30 years easy, BD-R even longer, M-discs will last 100 years and even when the outer plastic layer eventually degrades, the data layer will still be intact so you'd only have to replace that outer layer and it should work as long as the data layer doesn't take any physical damage in the process
I've replaced the outer layer of a burned disc a few times as practice, it is tedious and took a while but the data layer was still fine and had no errors
ODA cartridges are filled with Sony's Archival discs and should last as long as an M-disc, if not longer

That's the vast majority of NE, again, we mainly vote left because no one here likes corporations trying to fuck with citizens.
Republicans COULD win in NE if they weren't all asslicking shills (though ironically many of them are NOW skeptical of corporations because of how left-leaning Google is), but that'll likely never happen outside of MA's governor.
I would vote for Republicans if they didn't always make it so obviously clear that they don't actually give a fuck about the rights of citizens if it means they can get more money from corporate lobbyists.

I'd rather Canada apply for an associate status in the EU than joining the States.

The EU is shit, but it's not as unstable and batshit as the States are. The only upside to joining the States would perhaps be that Canada could solidly shift the balance of power towards the left wing of the Democrats and block the Republicans from ever getting into power until the do some serious party reforms and change to become more palatable like the CPC is.

I really wish bluray stuff would go down in price. But that shit is just far too expensive to justify using. DVDs back when they were new/current were great because the drives and discs dramatically dropped in price fairly quickly. BDs, on the other hand, have been mainstream for like 13 years now, and they still have highway robbery prices. Fuck buying a BD burner and fuck buying expensive-ass BD-Rs.

And that's not getting into all the other bullshit surrounding BD where different drives are acutally different and X disc won't work with Y drive and so on.

Nope, don't think so. As long as you're not hosting a massive pirating website you're in the clear.

2. Told US to fuck off in Northwest Passage talks with Russia. US has to pay to play.
3. NBA champs (23 out of 24 teams in NBA are from US)
4. Cucked US’s masters Saudi Arabia and Israel by taking in sluts that are about to be beheaded in Saudi and acknowledging Palestine’s right to be a free state while reducing aid to Israel.

Quebec won't vote Liberal in October, especially not with the CAQ in power.

So you don't pay for digital distribution then right? Because that is far worse, even 1 cent is extremely over priced yet that is seen as normal which is a normalized mental illness.

Its not hard to understand, if you want to use M-disc and BDXL, which you should, then get a drive that is M-disc and BDXL compatible. Some drives that aren't able to burn M-disc are apparently able to read M-disc DVDs, not sure about blu-rays
I'll admit M-discs and BDXLs aren't low priced, but BD-R and BD-R DLs aren't bad and are still a lot better than backing up on a hard drive or even tape longevity wise
I do wish Inphase Technology had proper funding and a CEO that wasn't trying to sabotage the company and its product, they had a holographic disc called Tapestry Media that was able to hold 1.6tb on one disc in 2010, they went bankrupt a year or two later, pretty sure Apple owns the IP of that disc now unfortunately

Lawyers under capitalism was a damn mistake.

It seems to just be luck. I'm a burger and I've never gotten a notice after 15+ years as well.

The only time I've ever seen an ISP actually do something about a pirate getting reported was back in college. My roommate torrented some porn over the university internet, and they contacted him and demanded he pay a fine, I think it was 200 dollars. Of course, I'm not sure what would've happened had he refused to pay, but that was that.

Also in grad school the uni wifi was really fucking annoying because they blocked traffic traffic and even steam. For a while I had to download steam games and play multiplayer by using my goddamn phone as a hotspot. One of the main reasons I decided to move out into an apartment ASAP

>Quebec won't vote Liberal
Quebecois here, Quebec will absolutely go to the Liberals now that the NDP has crashed. Trudeau routinely polls around 40% in the province, and the rise of the PPC might even threaten the seats that the Tories hold in Quebec City by splitting the right-wing vote, even if slightly.

It's not how I'd like it, but you have to get your political understanding from Facebook to think that the Liberals aren't going to have an easy time picling up the province.

As for the CAQ, the ROC doesn't really understand what they represent, they themselves refuse to identify as Right, and while they are right-wing, they actually are to the left of the LPQ as far as policy goes. CAQ voters loathe the Conservatives and their austerity-focused philosophy, they are the ones responsible for reviving the Bloc, and a large amount of their soft-nationalist voterbase will likely go to the Liberals yet again.

Any service provider in the middle of nowhere tend not to care as much. Or at least that's my experience

It depends what you're torrenting. Anything from really big players like Disney or HBO is locked down tight and will get you fucked if you're not careful, but Chinese soap operas or similar won't raise an eye because nobody cares enough to enforce it.

That's what I was talking about. Although to be honest, I think my memory is a bit spotty. You fucked up then because when it came back, I distinctly remember them just opening the damn gates for everyone to sign up on. Also, instead of fucking whining, you should've replied with your email so some user here can take pity on you. If I ask now, someone else might reply and get the invite. This is why you got kicked out, user.

"Bitgamer" was revived by some literally nobody from the community so it's not even the same as it used to be because the original hosts are not involved. Otherwise I've got like a million download points from whenever everyone was abandoning ship at the last second

Only thing is if Canada became a member of EU, I imagine it would end up becoming a net donor state and would end up sending money out to support the states falling behind

They can not simply notify the ISP. The ISP is in no position to respond, valify and decide over the aquired proof and your activities. The media companies can either talk to you directly or sue you. Aside from the fact that people torrenting mainstream shit without a VPN are retarded.

Not applicable to areas with only one ISP. Also, it amazes me that in America, phone companies can sue the government when it forces a new ISP in town for diversity/competition.
