I’ve read on reddit I think that if you are torrenting using a private tracker you’re gonna be fine even without VPN. The question is: isn’t the tracker is just a server that leads my torrent client to the pieces of the file on the seeders? And the connection between me and the seeders is p2p, isn’t that type of connection is what makes your ISP snitch you? So what is different about private trackers? And where to find them?
Torrents are registered. Only people who can access the private website get access to the torrent. It’s much harder for the bottom barrel legal teams that just sit on them recording IPs, like they do on public ones.
They can certainly get into a private tracker but will be found before long. This also depends on how the private tracker is run and by whom.
Use a VPN when doing illegal shit. Don’t leave to a shady website.
So p2p connection is not illegal unless it’s transmitting pirated content, which they can only know it by finding my ip on the list of peers, yeah?
This is accurate.
Just downloading/consuming isn’t the illegal part. It’s why you hear about torrent users getting ISP notices, but not people who download from usenet or watch pirate sports streams.
Why not? Because ISP don’t snitch on you in case of illegal streaming? The owner of the content must catch you in order to make legal procedures, right? And what about usenet, I’ve read about it but I didn’t get it? Can you brief it out? How it similar to torrents and how it’s different?
