mechoman444,

Proton VPN stopped the stupid copy right infringement letters from my ISP. Make sure you look up servers that don’t report or respond to requests from companies that request such information from ISP’s.

I use Luxembourg. No issues for years.

bemenaker,

You don’t reply, just stop sharing publicly.

Imprint9816,

Stop seeding the torrents they mention. Use a VPN, verify it is bound to your torrent client.

You quietly comply. Then take tougher security measures to protect yourself before continuing. Do not respond under any circumstances. If you’re served with actual legal papers, retain an attorney.

dramaticcat,

Ignore it and use a good VPN

Tetsuo,

The first thing I would do is anything that doesn’t involve asking for legal advice on reddit/Lemmy.

If you a concerned about this: Ask a lawyer for advice.

thorbot,

Yes because everyone has lawyers hanging around to ask things like this

Tetsuo,

Does a lawyer need to ask for a payment just for advice ?

Also what’s the alternative you suggest?

Trusting random people online for legal advice ?

    What a garbage take. A tiny percentage of towns are college towns and even then many won’t have law programs. I lived in a college town for 12 years and didn’t meet lawyers in training

    They did say don’t delete anything and my lack of legal knowledge prevents me from saying confidently to what extent they really can do that, but I strongly suspect that if push came to shove you couldn’t really get in to trouble for deleting things given you could well never have received the email or had some kind of a problem with the system causing you to lose data, however you can bet that your plausible deniability would be greatly constrained if you respond, therefore acknowledging that you have seen their request that you not delete things.

    Your reading skills are horrible. The law firm needs to keep all records regarding their evidence in this matter. OP isn’t being compelled to keep anything.

    Jimmycrackcrack,

    Thanks. Deleted

    White_Flight,

    Don’t respond

    Honytawk,

    Ah yes, The company named “Company”.

    nyoooom,

    It’s just saying that the blurred company name will be called “Company” in the document, not that it’s the name.

    echodot,

    That’s just how legalese is written. It’s like variables in programming they tell you what the thing is and then they tell you what they’re going to call it for the rest of the document.

    I guess it originally saved them hand writing “B&H Film, Video and Television Media Production LLC” every time. Of course these days you could just do a fine and a replace, so I’m not sure why they don’t, but it’s just become standard lawyer at this point.

    RobotToaster,

    merthyr1831,

    Dont.

    TryingToEscapeTarkov,

    Yeah just giggle at the fact that they can’t really do anything and press on with the piracy.

    lud,

    They could shutdown your VPS and have done so in the past according to others.

    This is a hosting company, they don’t want the attention and instead want to stay as reputable as possible.

    They (or someone, we really don’t know) even got Plex to ban using them for Plex servers.

    Bro, try to enjoy your next family affair. They’re going to turn you into a psa on why pirating is unhealthy.

    You should probably stop using windows too bc Microsoft will freely work with lawyers in fleshing out your case of piracy. So be sure to turn off windows updates and disable all telemetry updates as well.

    If I were you, I’d spin up whatever os you wish to use in a virtual environment that is disposable and use it from now on with a vpn.

    Also, if you have any smart features in your home, be sure to toss them out in the garbage bc they are listening… and probably watching. So put some tape over your webcam on your computer.

    Remember to reset your router too bro… they might be in that shit… Intel inside, yanno the saying right?

    No more TV for atleast a month and especially if you only use streaming services like spotify, Disney +, Netflix and so on.

    Best wishes to you my friend… ya might consider going off grid too just to be safe.

    Good Luck! ❤️

    I’ve found Usenet backbone+indexer to be the same price as VPN while being significantly faster to download, no seeding required.

    It allows more complicated setups like radarr+sonarr which download episodes as they come out, at around your internet speed.

    Usenet is the way

    jumbodumbo,

    Print it out, wipe your butt with it, scan it, send it back

    supervent,

    you could try to use i2pd or i2p for bittorrent with BiblgyBT or qbittorrent 4.6RC and above, there is a few decent public trackers on i2p.

    @supervent @nn4x This goodness, absolutely this.

    Why is anyone still using the for this?

    is absolutely one of the better options.
