I’m about to turn into such a data hoarder

Looks like an 18 TB hard drive is like 200 bucks and 18 TB can hold a lot

Why isn’t everyone doing this

Why isn’t everyone doing this

fear of prosecution, lack of knowledge of how to pirate, liberal brainworms regarding respecting private property.

[-] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

The fear of prosecution is kinda a real fear though, however fucking absurd it may be. To think that you could get penalized and potentially jailed for something as nebulous as piracy

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago

It's a realistic fear. I almost caught charges once, when I was younger and more reckless about downloading, but I settled it beforehand.

Then I took a long break from torrenting, did the paid streaming thing, learned more about digital security, and eventually found myself sailing the high seas yet again.

absolutely; i was trying to answer your question because I've wondered the same thing and those were the conclusions i came to

I don't know if my legal knowledge is outdated, but wasn't one of the outcomes of the whole bajillion-dollar lawsuit days a system where first you get a letter, then a small fine, and then a bigger fine before they really start holding you upside-down by the ankles and grabbing whatever falls out of your pockets?

I dont think you know what literal means

They said liberal, not literal.

Me going around calling everyone a knave because my literary brainworms are going through a Chaucer phase

Most people don't care to. People want the easy way, and don't consider options off the beaten path.

100% but I'm looking to hoard knowledge like development / programming and skill sets before everything is hidden behind paywalls.
