I mean, yeah. Why are people even bothering with piracy on regular, HTTP, web sites? Of course it’ll get taken down, and legal action taken against the owner.
We need to teach the younger generations how to torrent shit
It got brought down because it shared a server with another service, which was used by some "Epstein friends" to upload you-know-what illegal material and that's what brought it down.
...aaaand this is why we get a bad rep.
really really HATE you-know-what illegal material. but the frequency it gets brought up online really makes me wonder sometimes if there are really that many sick fucks out there or there are some sick fucks out there but governments like to also claim that it was you-know-what illegal material just so that people will tune it out and not look into things too closely...
I can kinda see govmint doing that kind of thing. specialy since there were all the "for the chidrens" anti-pribacy bills they try to sneak in in the past.
You make a good point. I guess I didn't even think of that. Certainly likely.
To be honest, there seem to be many stories of such content, but not so many of such people. And I find that quite interesting. So either they hide themselves well, or there are less of them but they distribute the content widely, or as you said, the gov is simply using it as an excuse.
Specially torrenting safely. In some countries you can get fines for torrenting.
