I saw a signal group too. I guess this is going to be the aftermath: piracy messenger wars. What do people talk about in piracy chatrooms anyway?

Glowie? Do people call each other glowsticks nowadays?

I don't believe you want a genuine answer. You've already made a decision, so no matter what I say, you won't agree with it 🤷 There's no need to continue.

What "ignorance"? The licensing link is added manually. I've read it.

Very weird... I've had the same clients (Element) for years and haven't been logged out once. Just out of curiosity, do you switch between the clients (Element on one computer, Schildichat on another)? That could be the problem.

Which client are you using and when was the last time you used it? I haven't had those issues in about 3 years on Element.

It has a shiny chat interface and that's all people care about 🤷

On the face of it, I appreciate that it looks funny, but the power dynamics are quite different. If I'm caught pirating, my ass could land in jail. If a company is caught pirating, it's written off a business expense.

Would you find it as ridiculous if a slave whipped their owner? If the poor stole from the rich? If the weak took power from the powerful?

When will people start using Signal or Matrix for this? Signal supports public, encrypted chat rooms and so does Matrix.

Maybe present what it's for and why you think it should be used? To me, you just proposed a random tool and just shared a link. Sorry dude, I ain't reading all that.

Maybe hosting services in France is not a good idea afterall...

  1. It doesn't make you anonymous. Torrent protocol wasn't designed with anonymity in mind and there are a million ways you're going to leak your actual IP address.
  2. Tor is a TCP only network.
  3. While this doesn't give you the anonymity you wanted, it will hurt the network for other users.
 

There must be some way they can EEE linux.

 

I've been considering paying for a European provider, mounting their service with rclone, and thus being transparent to most anything I host.

How do y'all backup your data?

 

Let's say an app came out that allowed pirating without consequences; that it connected every user to a fast, anonymous network, and users could donate anonymously to content creators and/or uploaders.

Piracy were so normal that even your grandma could just search "ahoy movie name", be directed to a third party store, download and install the "Ahoy App" and start watching movies and TV shows like on Popcorn Time or listen to music like on Napster and Spotify. It reached mainstream popularity and had download numbers like WhatsApp or TikTok.

Is this something we would want? Would the entertainment industry survive?

 

I2P support anonymous torrents

TOR is good for direct downloads (DDL)

Don't know if others exist...
