I'm referencing this article: https://torrentfreak.com/film-companies-seek-torrenting-history-related-to-redditor-240220/

Given that they're expanding to reddit, I was wondering how dbzer0 is setup to handle similar requests. The legal help page for dbzer0 is just an e-mail address.

It’s awareness. If I’d really thought about it, it would have been obvious to me that I should contribute, but most mobile apps hide the sidebar, and “out of sight, out of mind” as they say.

I would find it interesting to see a sort of “state of the union” post every month or so where you tell us the cool FOSS stuff you’re working on, how the servers are evolving, and how well the donations are covering your costs. No need to beg, just let the facts of the situation be known and jog our memories that we all have to band together to keep this place running.

Honestly, this whole conversation has lit a fire under my butt. I’m going to make a Santa Claus run through all my favorite trackers and FOSS projects, and it is all because you made me think for a bit. I imagine there must be others like me who would love to help, but just get caught up with their own lives.

Do y’all hear me, fellow pirates? Our captains need us! Heed the call! Put your money where your FOSS is!

Edit: screw it, I’m going to triple my donation. You deserve it.

I’m doing my part!
