How come private trackers are considered secure, wouldn’t the same approach to IP logging work once you obtained access to a tracker?
The barrier to entry into private trackers is high enough that it's not worth it. Soon after they started sending DMCA letters the admins would be alerted and it would take about 5 minutes to identify the preparator and ban them, and whoever invited them, and their whole invite tree. People complain about it being difficult to join private trackers, but it's really a security feature.
Private trackers are no more "secure" than public aside from the barriers to entry... However, it's not like someone working for the MPAA couldn't pass an interview or whatever it is they do these days...
I'd still use a VPN if I were still on private trackers.
That said, I use a VPN always, so... 🤷🏻
