So I used a torrent site to get a discography of an artist and

about a month later I get 10 emails all at once. ....

i am not gonna lie I was shook like a priest in a strip club....

There is a number that I called and the dude was real cool about it he said I should delete the files. .....

The letters are from my internet provider and basically they said they could cancel my service if i dont play nice .....

So i think im gonna chill on Torrents for a while... anyone been thru this before?

not everyone is built for the pirate life

... ARRRRRR.

so we don't make the same mistake.

Pay for your shit and get deent quality and packaging for whatever it is

this skimmin off the net shit is risky as hell

yall want bootleg ish, or risk of virus etc

this is 2015 yall

DTRT lol

your client should have the option to encrypt torrent streams and to prevent unencrypted fallback in the event there are no seeders that allow encrypted connections.

Your ISP can't see what's in an encrypted session, all they know is that there's data running across it.

but is that how they're catching most people these days?

I assumed it's the sameo ld, you have these firms basically acting as fake seeders on the torrents, they notify the label/studio, who calls your ISP

if you're smart enough to know how to pipe all your traffic through tor you won't have a worry in the world. It'll be slow as shit though.

Doing it through a private VPN is easier.

Downloads.... Duh....

my cousin downloaded some japanese movies because they weren't available for purchase here and that's why she got those letters.

Are they relatively safe?

was dang... im out here like a fishing boat trying to be a pirate ship...

anyways yeah I pay for 3 music services but I wanted some jawns for keeps ...

you are keeping your files in the same upload folders. Service provider sniffers can only detect torrents going both ways, or idle in your designated 'download to' folders

If you move those files to a external hard drive as soon as you are done downloading, you should be in the clear.

torrent file itself

don't seed and kill the torrent file and you should be good.

It downloaded faster than I thought it would... normally I tried not to seed up....

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

When I was using torrent, I would kill my uploads as soon as the download finished. My ratio was horrible. If I was going to seed I only did it on private trackers.

they usually try to catch people providing content for upload aka seeders.

where do you live?

yes, i am evil for this. what about it?

granted, you can take their uploads down to something like 300bps, or almost zero, but you can't just stop 'em all together.

I have not got one of those emails in years.

I got my first letter running Peer Block

I don't have time to be searching and waiting for torrents and usable .rar download links...or running the risk of running afoul legally. I search, add the shit to my library and go about my day. It's only 8 bucks.

and some don't have "unlimited" data plans you would need to stream lots of music.

Some, like me, still use dedicated mp3 players and play CD's in the ride.

You can add what you want to listen to to your device for offline listening when you're on wi-fi so it doesn't eat at your data. Plus you don't have an aux port in your car? All that searching, downloading, and burning seems like a lot of work when there's much easier, time-saving options.

DJ mixes ain't available on streaming services, quite a bit of my Techno, Ghettotech, House, and Electro music ain't available on streaming services, and a lot of older, out of print hip hop ain't available.

All that shit is cool for new music, but since I don't listen to much new music the shit ain't for me.

... plus... it STILL requires a phone, which I just don't approve of.

I have an aux port in the van, but not in the Benz.

I have one but other than using it to *call* people and as an impromptu camera/video recorder I don't use it for much else. Since I've finally repaired my Sansa C250 mp3 player, I have even less of a reason to use my phone for music.

It's pretty well known on here that I have disdain for using a phone for everything under the sun. This stems mostly from my experience in network security, but also from my time spent working for a contractor to a certain three letter agency.

It ain't that really, my Benz is an 05 and cars really weren't coming with an aux port standard back then (it does, however, have a CD/cassette deck in it). My van is older, but I have an aftermarket Sony CD player in it that has an aux port as well as a USB port on it (I use the cd player and usb port far more than the aux).

You connect via a client to your VPN provider and you pop out on the Internet from their IPs, you can appear from any city, and from many countries.

I use OctaneVPN, it's like $3 a month: https://www.octanevpn.com/

Had them for a few years, they're fast, and I've had no issues.

I'm sorry but a Priest at the Stip Club ain't shook. He's on a mission and the rest of y'all are the ones sitting up straight and shook.

cool dude.


we chatted about boxing, the decline of the heavyweight division and horse racing. I was shocked about how indepth the convo was.

he said Dr Sticky

I'm like Captain Hook, Black Beard, Long John Silver, and all them other niggas rolled into one with all the shit I Pirate.

Ain't seen a email yet.

I know someone who got that amount of warnings as well. Expressvpn is your friend. Use a VPN, grab a Nas, set it up to tunnel through the VPN, and use this as an alternative means to procure content.

For the record, I support artists but they make pennies from streaming so we're better off buying records.

I DL mostly movies (old, new, popular, obscure) and some tv shows; occasional music.

so be careful. they'll say something like you illegally downloaded and you have to pay X amount of dollar for a fine.

our cable provider says they can cancel our service but they never do. i think they just have to give that warning.

My mom got a letter from Comcast about downloading some Chris Brown song that I've never even heard of. Still haven't. Since then, she hasn't gotten anything.

over this.
people think it is petty and an empty threat but it isn't, necessarily.

if it you are going to _ be smart about it.

pre hbo-go or now whatever the fuck the only way to get shit was to steal it

same with seinfeld pre hulu

and if you are fully up on the times then you dont even have a way to play traditional physical media like dvds

"Get ready..for your blessing..."

knowing damn well noone uses that shit.

My ex downloaded some movies and then we got a warning pop up on the screen. Basically telling him he better chill or they will cancel his services. Glad it was at his house and not mine. I was shook like they watching us!! o_O lol

Eek!!

was it in a browser, or are ISP sending network messages?

aka charter, just a warning letter, it was a couple years ago. if it continued they'd have to cancel our service.

after that i stopped using tor rent sites. btw, i deleted the uploaded/seeded etc files from the folders that some of you are talking about. idk, they seem to be able to track ur activities beyond that.

i think streaming music is the best way to go. I buy songs on iTunes someitmes, if I really like something or feel like music shopping, but it can add up.

Tor is WAY too slow to be worth it. I think if any of u continue to do the tor rent thing, also avoid new music release days. i think one of the reasons we were found out, was that i was downloading on a tuesday. lol. (now they release new music on fridays, so that day should be off limits).

My god its 2015

GOOGLE!

There are so many ways around your ISP finding out if you're downloading shit.

And you damn right I'll torrent. I'm only paying for shit I know I'll enjoy. If its something I want to check out but I'm not sure of or doubtful I'll download it first. If I love it I'll buy it officially.

I have downloaded a LOT of hip hop stuff never got a letter..

But this last joint they sent a separate letter for each file...
even though it was all under one torrent...


I dont think its worth it being put on the NO FLY list for a few tracks from the Off the Wall Album...

life is too short for me to watch bad/listen to bad shit.

I learned my lesson with the fucking Romantics.

NOPE not pirating, gotta respect my eyeballs
