Hi guys, I just wanted to call out an inappropriate term I've seen used sometimes: Civil Disobedience. It's not just civil disobedience when you pirate something privately, you need to do it publicly and dare the authorities to do something about it.

So an example here would be to set up a massive leech party and advertise it specifically as civil disobedience. Say all manner of things from all manner of copyright holders would be transmitted, and try and get news coverage. That's civil disobedience.

Just downloading a movie because you want to watch it is not. OK thanks for your time.

Torrent using I2P and share the magnet links to the torrents while making fun of the authorities. To be more spicy, send the magnet link of the anonymous torrent to the rightsholder and mock them for being unable to find you. Then take a screenshot of the message and share it on social media for clout and dare others to do the same.

Start with Nintendo and work yourself through the most litigious companies out there. I'm sure the MPAA would be delighted to be taunted.

I'm sure that'll go over well.

Is there any alternative to i2p torrenting if you want to torrent without a VPN? Other than living in a third world country.

Not that I can think of 🤔 But maybe others may know.
