piracy is a latter.
at the bottom there is the person getting a pirated ware physically from someone who copied it.
then steps later there is rapidshare or whatever filehosters still exist.
more steps up are public torrents and trackers.
then there is forums that use a variety of sharing technologies like (private) torrent or hosters.
nzb is next.
then there is irc - which at best is linked to some of the outer ring ftp servers.
ftp servers run by currygroups is next. and they leech from
the core of scene ftp servers.
sure i missed exotic outlets of the piracy latter like ondemandpiracystreaming, ssd-by-snailmail and so on.. we all agree vpn is key. i think irc always has worked better than torrent ever and being easier to access thab nzbs.
Sure, the magic of torrents is that it's hard to truly take down. If 100 people are seeding something, good luck getting them all to stop. The next best option is to stop sites from hosting the torrent files that help you connect with seeders. But, now we have DHT that is like torrent sites automatically being peer to peer. Shits unstoppable.
But, ftp has great benefits as well for sure. Not to downplay that.
Do you mind sharing some more information about irc?
well for starters you could just go xdcc.eu,search some shit, fire up hexchat, obey channel rules (e.g you have to register your username) and xdcc request the file. next up you might want to do you own irc bot maybe selfhosted on a Pi or as a service and teach that bot what to get you on a regular basis like tv shows. then never use xdcc.eu ever again and run your searches through said bot. maybe get lost in the whole topic and have a telegram bot run on the irc bot Pi to update you on latest downloads and so on... you can have an irc client on your phone and then tell your bot what to request and download.
