My country plays wack a mole with their domains. I mostly rely on 2 private trackers now
If you're not using a VPN to visit PB.org from a non- problematic country, are you even trying?
Wouldn't this be solved by using a DNS server your country as no control over?
But anyway PirateBay is not recommended anymore.
Oh no, the youngins are on their "if no one talks about it, the corpos won't know" delusion again.
Security through obscurity isn't security, and plenty of sites have survived longer than most of you have been pirating despite coverage by actual news organizations. Your least (or most) favorite youtuber (or forum, or guide, or wiki) isn't moving the needle.
If you aren't part of the actual scene that's sourcing shit for day 0 (or earlier) upload you have nothing to worry about regarding open discussion through psuedonymous social media. Or people making youtube videos. Or guides etc.
Pirate sites and fan projects that get shut down weren't going to last anyway. Real ones arr either set up to last or find a way to continue. Like Pirate Bay and AM2R.
There's some irony in that you still think the Pirate Bay has some use in today's way of pirating.
You must Imagine Sisyphus a happy pirate
My pass the popcorn account is older than my 20yo son.
*laughs in private tracker
Yeah but I don't want to have to deal with community drama, upload requirements, minimum seed ratios that you can't hit because you aren't downloading popular enough torrents, applying to get in like it's some fucking C-level job application... Some of us pirate because we want content, not because it's a lifestyle.
weird to blame video form lol.
Popular video gets attention. Attention reaches company. Company reaches for lawyers. Lawyers reach for cease and decist forms.
