Lib Gen is fine.

The press reported it was dead a few months ago for some weird reason. Never believe what you read.

youtube ia fine for some use-cases, but ok.ru is a better site to upload this stuff to

I don't think the issues you raise are valid.

It costs more than zero to levy a fine, but we are talking about many billions in income here. Your point would be valid if gathering staff and then fining Google 9 billion were a net zero. It isn't.

We are likely better off having that money reinvested in preventing other companies from these practices.

Which is what I suggested. The best way to prevent these practices is libre alternatives.

Take some of that money you get fining surveillance-capitalists and use it to fund privacy-respecting libre alternatives

Pretty tricky. There's essentially no way for the average pirate.

One plan is to leave it leaching for weeks and hope someone appears (then you must seed)

Another is to search the hash to try find more versions with different trackers
