    Once you’ve had a legal letter due to an accident and over eager lawyers with easily costs beginning at several thousands you might change your opinion.

    And yes, I had that. For 3 hashes of 3 files of a TV series.

      No it doesn’t. Because it’s not an opinion but a description on how to not get into the situation you’ve described - i.e. about personal security.

      What I’ve described prevents a link between you and your online actions - that’s the whole point. It’s the defense against surveillance and can be applied on situations with way higher risk than just a fine.

        Okay, I think we’re on the same side here, I was just at a technicality.

        We need to fix using technical avoidance and fix the law and surveillance.

          Oh yeah! It’s sad that users have to have a technical education to use the Internet if laws and what at least I perceive as “right” fundamentally differ.

          At least for the moment it’s only copy right for me personally - there are countries and laws where this need is way more fundamental :(
