What have you been torrenting (or seeding) lately? I would advise against posting it here if it's copyright infringing.

Hah! I've caught you!
My entire account was made just for this purpose!
I've rung in the MPAA-- they'll slice you to bits, a-la the DMCA.

Geez... I'm not a shill!

Unless they pay people to join a forum for two years to post a topic like this, when they could be joining torrent swarms and recording IP addresses instead. ;-)

I know this can be an issue for some of you guys, take this like a childish joke or purely spam.

I think using The Pirate Bay is legal as long as you don't download anything illegal. It's usually used to download copyright-infringing material, though.
There's also Kick@$$ torrents. <-- Last word bowdlerized.

I AM NOT A LAWYER, and THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, but it would probably depend on the popularity of the torrent.

The odds of you getting in trouble for torrenting Gameboy, NES, etc ROMs are probably lower than winning the lottery...
I seed some GBC torrents, actually.
You could use a VPN, if you want to feel extra-safe.

i looked into it and apparently in the uk
this year there is a plan to send "educational" emails to
households that are suspected of piracy
and if they ignore them no further action will be taken
so i think as i am in the uk i am fine

and i guess i should enjoy it while i can!
legally that is...

You can. But you would then significantly contribute to making Tor slow for the rest of the word (although you do not really need it here).

quote:
The first answer is "don't run Bittorrent over Tor". We've been saying for years not to run Bittorrent over Tor, because the Tor network can't handle the load; perhaps these attacks will convince more people to listen. The second answer is that if you want your Bittorrent client to actually provide privacy when using a proxy, you need to get the application and protocol developers to fix their applications and protocols. Tor can't keep you safe if your applications leak your identity
