Torrenting

On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested by a federal special agent on state breaking-and-entering charges in connection with systematic downloading of academic journal articles from JSTOR.[9][10][11][12] Federal prosecutors eventually charged him with 2 counts of wire fraud and 11 violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,[13] carrying a maximum penalty of up to 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine plus forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release.[14]

After facing charges for two years, on January 11, 2013, Swartz was found dead in his Crown Heights, Brooklyn apartment where he had hanged himself.[15][16][17]

Persecuted for downloading academic fuckin journals whilst the rest of the world get a slap on the wrist... Fuckin tragic R.I.P.

With regards to the 3 strike law....

If say, I download 3 different files on the same day, can I be pinged with 3 separate strikes for each file?

Or is it once you've had one strike, it cancel all previous copyright infringements and the potential for another strike and you will only get another one if you download illegally after receiving the first strike notice?

EG: I download Batman, Spiderman and Superman on the same day. A week or so later, I get a notice for Batman. Does this mean all previously downloaded files (ie: Spiderman & Superman) up to that day are now immune from giving me a strike?

I think that made sense....


Cause if it doesn't work like that, who's to say a person downloads a 3 track EP and gets 3 separate notices within the time frame?

[bogan]

iirc there is 28 days after each offense for you to receive the notice, only after than time can you be 'struck' again.

Yeah but what's stopping them sending out a notice for Superman on day 1 Spiderman on day 29 and Batman on day 57? (28 days apart) even though they were all downloaded on the same day?

Ah I see.

So for someone who may or may not torrent, if they have their torrent client set up to route all traffic through a paid VPN service like BTguard or PIA, what is the chance of them being caught by copyright holders and getting an infringement notice. Hypothetically speaking of course, for the sake of the internet.

Smokeu or Azkle will know the answer to this for sure.

Not sure, I'd expect it to be, I download the odd thing through tpb's magnet links without fear.

Those cunts will tell you they know the answer for sure, but neither seem of sound mind at times, and all the time, respectively.

I haven't really looked into it so take it as you will but from what I've heard if you use Piratebay's magnet links they can't actually see what you're downloading unless A) they're part of the seeder/leecher community or B) they're inspecting your packets to see the data within (which I believe is illegal)

I've read that the copyright holders/whoever is hired to find people downloading illegal material set up 'honeypot' trackers and find people connected to that tracker by their IP and then talk to the ISP about sending out infringement notices.

Anyone able to explain these magnet links?

best of my knowledge their simply hashtags.
No file info is contained within, their not restricted by filenames, no file is downloaded it's a direct p2p in a way you hit that magnet link & download starts.
