Even Haru’s billionaire ass can’t afford all these subscriptions 😭
do i want to be her or date her?
A VPN is just essentially a change in ISP.
importantly it’s (hopefully) an ISP that operates from a less copyright-happy country and isn’t tied down to tons of expensive infrastructure and long-term contracts
And make sure it’s a VPN that supports port forwarding. Sharing is caring.
or just use Usenet.
And please don’t use anime girls to refer to every fucking thing in the world
I mean this is Persona 5 and this is 100% what Futaba would say and do
I use Comcast VPN cheaper than mullvad /s
Nah, Verizon VPN is better
Or pirat through a public library proxy :)
Explain this to me more thoroughly? Does this mean physically going to the library and using their Wi-Fi? Or are you talking about something else?
If your country persecutes individual piracy. Mine doesn’t.
Our ISP sends 3 strike letters :(
I have had like 14 while I was still in school here in canada. if things haven’t changed you just ignore them because they can’t do jack if you don’t respond. Someone I worked with was blown away when I told him this because back home he was banned from all but the slowest ISP.
That is supposedly the case in Australia as well but I haven’t got a letter from telstra since around 2004 and I have never used a VPN and watch all my shows and movies via torrents so either I’m extremely lucky or they stopped bothering.
Though recently I started paying the $4 / month for Real Debrid for better streaming performance, which is just as good as a VPN for torrent anonymity. I used to be fundamentally against the idea of paying anything to pirate but honestly this is worth it, I’ve even been able to watch a few shows that had 0 seeders because they were previously cached.
Scroll down and there’s a section about Australia on here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Buyers_Club
Basically, they fucked it up so bad in Aus no one’s ever tried again.
That says their error was trying American threats “we got you dead to rights, tell us your income and we’ll tell you how much to pay our we’ll sue for punitive damages”
Which isn’t legal in Australia. They would have been ok if they had asked to send a letter saying “stop it or pay us a reasonable amount for one person viewing the film once” but of course actual damages aren’t enough for film companies
They were too greedy.
Yeah basically. But part of why no one has tried again is because the judge made it very clear he wasn’t going to just roll over and let them pull their BS. Including setting a bond of $600k for them to even try litigating it. Another part of it is that ISPs used to hand out IP addresses and PII in response to requests from media companies. This was found to be in breach of privacy laws and now those companies would have to apply for court orders, proving malfeasance, to get that information.
Our ISPs are too cheap and lazy to even try looking. I still use I2P, but only because I need to justify my tin foil hats collection.
I’m pretty sure our ISPs would advertise piracy if they could
They pirate and sell the service locally 🤣🤣
Yep, my govt only cares about porn, manga, hentai, online gambling sites, reddit and duckduckgo.
Why DDG?
racist against ducks
My country doesn’t care, so it’s not necessary
Let me guess India?
You missed by a looooong shot, it’s Slovenia.
Maybe? But basically 90% of the countries in Asia continent doesn’t really care about digital piracy
I don’t use a VPN because my government has acknowledged that an IP address cannot identify what individual was using it.
wouldn’t trust that tbh
i never hav to use one lmao
Please explain…
I thought you don’t need a VPN for things like usenet
Your ISP sees the connection to news.usenetserver.com and if they cared could get a court order to get your data from them. They can compel you to release your username and password.
You also need to protect yourself against future law and enforcement
If your provider supports SSL and you actually turn it on then no technically don’t need a VPN for Usenet.
I guess, that depends on the legislative of your country, maybe they see all interactions with usenet providers as illegal, and if you are not using a VPN they see what IP you talk to. But in the other hand, in such countries, using (foreign) VPNs may also be illegal🤔
this is dangerous advice. courts can still subpoena the usenet provider for your information.
Meh my Usenet provider also partners with a VPN provider. Still costs me £5 a month for the VPN but I may as well use it, I like having a VPN
Instructions unclear, VPN’d into my own home network.
Who is the original artist?
@negglartz on that place Elongated Musksticles ruined
Not sure about the artist, but these are characters from the game Persona 5 (Haru and Futaba)
IP law firms tried to get their cases into my country and they only got a 50% success rate on court so they stopped trying (cost benefit thing I suppose).
Also private trackers in my country do not allow the use of VPN (why do they care IDK, they say it is to have more control on who join), so there’s little point on getting a VPN for piracy here.

it’s probably for IP banning or something. Whitelist authorization, something silly like that.
