Comment on What happened to us Pirates? We used to sail the web and never even thought about reprecussions just sharing. Now it seems like it costs to be a pirate like a VPN and such. WTH happened?
I read it but can you dumb it down?
I downloaded a song for my kid 15ish years ago and Telekom tracked it to me so I got a fine.
I was going to say: I live in Germany and they’ll absolutely go after people who pirate.
They cuck so hard for American IP holders it’s honestly incredible. Even the yanks own companies don’t ride people that hard for it.
First time? That seems excessive.
Yes, it was the first time
I hope you joking but if not holy shit. Don’t they hand out warnings a bunch of times before hitting your bank? I am in the states BTW
15 years ago? That can’t be true
Why can’t that be true?
