Asking mostly because I have fuckloads of video courses, plus a number of movies, that I have yet to even check if the content is as good as their titles imply and I really feel like I'm mostly hoarding this stuff because I have no fucking clue.

I'm concerned that crackdowns on pirating will come sooner or later. At some point it may become too much of a hassle. So I'm hoarding a lifetime of old movies and games to hold me over.

Just keep seeding the torrents. As long as the torrents for stuff is healthy, how could it be cracked down?

Enough countries ban torrenting so you cannot even uses vpn to get around it.

How do they do that?

Ask Germany. Torrenting without VPN is almost imposible, you'll get sued by copyright lawyers.

Exactly, so you can use a VPN to get around that.

You use a vpn to other country without that ban. Once enough countries apply that ban. Where are you going to VPN to?

Why would any country ban torrenting? Torrenting isn't illegal, downloading and distributing copyrighted works is

What I mean is what is already happening in some countries, that is having laws that makes extra easy for copyright lawers to sue anyone using torrent for sharing their IP.
