I wonder if there’s a way to obscure IPs on the side of a torrent tracker. Like an inverse VPN.
Tbh though, I feel like in this day and age they’re gonna have a hard time cracking down on torrents. VPNs are easier to use and more accessible than ever. Just remember to recommend VPN usage when someone asks about trackers, torrent programs, etc.
Edit: also this is pure bullshit, I can’t believe anyone actually believes this in this day and age:
In his speech on Tuesday, Rivkin highlights what a major problem piracy in the US has become, saying it costs “hundreds of thousands of jobs” and “more than one billion in theatrical ticket sales.”
Pretending it actually does hurt ticket sales, you know damn well companies wouldn’t use the money to hire more people, Rivkin. They’d use the money to find new ways of cutting costs, aka jobs.
If someone actually want to see the movie in a theater, they are going to buy a ticket since watching a shaky cell phone recording is in no way comparable to actually watching a movie on the big screen.
People who watch literal recordings of movies from inside a movie theater are psychopaths who really, really don’t care about quality. I highly doubt they are the target audience of movie ticket sales.
Also, they just translate estimated number of downloads to potentially sold tickets 1:1 (they always have). As if a pirate would actually watch all that shit if they had to pay for it. Many probably even don’t after download (like Steam games on sale).
Trackers that make users do that are plainly scams. Probably run by the mpaa to slow down piracy.
It creates a deadlock where nobody dowloads and nobody uploads. 500 seeds terabytes wasted, sitting with idle internet connections, nobody downloading.

As we’ve seen the past couple years companies NEVER fire people! UNLESS people are STEALING their Products!

Especially if it’s torrents on private trackers where you download stuff you don’t want just to build up ratio

You mean all private trackers?
