piracy question 

private trackers go against the entire fucking spirit of piracy i hate them so much. anyone have any advice for reposting private torrents to thepiratebay without getting caught/banned?

re: piracy question 

what the fuck even motivates someone to go to the work of making a high quality release, and then post it to a private tracker.

@alice_meows in some countries people get sued for large sums of money for torrenting

re: piracy question 

@alice_meows I kinda assume it's similar to the mindset behind like, paid forums or w/e. If it's less accessible, you get less people joining to cause harm or chaos, if it's expensive to troll, then less people will want to troll.

But like, it's easy to argue that the point of piracy is accessibility, it's a way to let everybody enjoy the thing.
