  • Me and lots of people have been torrenting from home for years and years, some of my accounts are older than a decade, and all this time without a single problem. You shouldn’t be afraid of it like that, we’re not in the era when ThePirateBay was being sued and many people were getting DMCA’d.

    If you’re gonna pay, better get a seedbox.






  • I think it’s absurd putting free software against tech giants in the same field. One is for profit and can pay to innovate, the other consist of volunteers doing it (mostly) for free. It’s not like FOSS applications don’t want to innovate, it’s just that they can’t for the most part.

    It’s equally absurd to demand things like “you should do research and development”, like who are you talking to in particular? The FOSS community is not an organization.




  • Yeah you’re right, it was a realization for companies like Disney; “why are we letting them profit from our stuff when we can do it in our own terms?”

    I’m surprised music companies are not doing the same with Spotify, but I guess most of the music is under UMG (I think) anyway.
