People who don’t care that they are being spied on/ having their data harvested by facebook, instagram, whatsapp, google, amazon, oracle etc… are the same ones who pirate without a vpn or i2p. I can’t stand this “so what if they have my data?” attitude. You ask anyone if they would feel comfortable leaving their car unlocked in town, or the front door of their house open at night and theeen they suddenly care about privacy and security.
Piracy is a crime. It might be the most common and socially acceptable (right after not fully stopping at an empty stop street), but it is still technically illegal and the govt can go after you any time they want to.
Please please please do not go around advertising your cam-quality bootlegs.
Caring is sharing, it is not a crime to share things unless there is an economic profit
i think(?) it still is. (not that that should matter :)
Not in my country. To be a crime it have to be an economic profit. You can share and download music/ tv shows/movies, but not sell it. Software is out. This is it because you pay in advance a tax when you buy an electronic device in case you download a thing.
oh based. thats how it should be i think
Canada is really good for piracy. The only thing that is illegal about piracy is the distribution. So as long as you don’t seed without a VPN you will have no legal issues. But ISPs do seem to throttle my internet connection when ever I accidentally torrent without a VPN
