i live in the US. seeding and torrenting in general is relatively safe here, although sometimes you'll get a nastygram from your ISP because a copyright industry plant on one of the torrents told on you. the easiest way by far to prevent that is by getting a VPN. go with something paid (free ones do shady stuff) and with a no-logging policy. i use NordVPN because i know someone who pays for it and is letting me use it, but another great option is Mullvad
hmm... interesting. can you give me a screenshot of a nastygram? I mean, not yours, but I wonder how it looks.
i don't have one on hand, but it's a physical letter sent through the mail which basically says "delete the copyrighted data we think you downloaded or we're shutting off your internet"
fuck, that sounds scary. thanks for the reply
My ISP (in Canada) sends a friendly nastygram. Like they forward the message from the copyright holder, but they preface it with "don't worry, we're legally obligated to pass this along to you, but almost nothing they say here is legal in Canada"
Edit: here is the verbatim text from one I got a couple years back:
The Nastygram was then included as an email attachment
hehe.... thank you very much for this
