You know full well this wouldn't have happened if this was any other vigil not for black or brown people. Specifically not Palestine as well.

But yeah, obey the masters. Make them more money. As they siphon your wage and downright steal from you. Hope it works out in the long run and doesn't come to a singularity or some other dystopian reality. Not like we don't already live in one.

I can't imagine switching everyone in my family to Linux. I think it'd be too much to support lol.

Correct. That's also why it's important to find providers thatchave passed many independant audits. Like ProtonVPN or Mulvad.

Would like to know the answer, but feel like I already know.

Its simple really. If you have an IP address on a torrent network, contact its owner. The owner of the IP will then be forced to contact the user... But if the owner doesn't keep logs... Then they don't know who the user is... And the claim can't progress any further. But not all VPNs are created equal. Some keep logs. And that's not good for privacy.

For you not getting DMCA, you may use private trackers only. If not, maybe you got lucky, or you just ignored the emails from your provider or your provider doesn't follow up with complaints.

This. No matter how many downvotes you get for it. This all the way.

Of course. Not like they'd order the same for the custodian or whatever. But because they are of high status they get protected.
