Yeah

Yes.
dmca.com/FAQ/Report-copyright-infringement

Yes, because it's happened to me, and I'm not joking either. Downloaded something from nyaa, and I got a notice.

ive got thousands of thrse notices
the one good thing about comcast is that they give no fucks

Possible but unlikely.

They'd rather not send them at all, since you give them money but the copyright mafia don't.

yes, i've been using the same isp from when i first got internet (from 2000) and i received my first ever notice like 2-3 years ago because i torrented a porn of that slut courtney studdon or whatever her name is

the celeb porn site that was selling the porn hired a firm to handle dmca notices and the firm basically reported it to my isp that i downloaded it from tpb...i wouldn't doubt that the firm is the one that distributed the torrent in the first place

they threatened that i have to pay $500 (the firm) and i basically ignored it

i've learned that if you use private trackers, it minimizes this type of shit

I got a notice for torrenting One Punch Man. Stay away from normalshit and you probably won't have a problem.

Yes but it rarely happens anymore.

There was that one time Funimation tried to sue like a thousand people at the same time
animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-01-25/funimation-sues-1337-bittorrent-users-over-one-piece

but the judge ultimately threw every case out except for one and told them to file individual lawsuits or don't bother or something like that. Funimation hasn't bothered since then I think

When comcast was introducing its 1TB data caps I spent the whole month before torrenting 6TB of anime. I still haven't even watched about half of it. But honestly I just wanted to use as much bandwidth as possible in defiance. Nothing happened to me.

But 5 months later when I torrented a coldplay cd I got a notice via email within hours.

Honestly I think it just depends on who you torrent from. ISP's probably don't give a shit about people torrenting anime because anime sales aren't directly related to an ISP's profits.

However I do know that coldplay and microsoft are practically 69'ing each other so that's probably why I got slapped with the notice so quickly.

TLDR; if it's popular in america and it's something made by someone with active deals with your OS maker then don't do it.

otherwise iz ok

they don't tend to do anything about it unless it's some especially jewish firm
porn companies tend to care more because no one buys porn in the first place

>2017
>using windows
linux is the only operating system that respects your kino freedom

I got a notice when I was with AT&T for the 40 year old birgin lol. I'm with Comcast now and haven't received a notice. To be fair I don't torrent much anymore and especially not as much as I used to with ATT.

desu the only reason I use windows is due to the fact that my hardware is just too nice. Using Linux anything when you have a GTX1080 is just retarded.

But sometimes I still boot into debian for coziness.

>Not living in a 3rd shithole where the gov doesn't give a shit about torrenting

The Americans is the real cucks

well if you're american they will tell you if you've reached your 200 GB data cap

...

the true master race is running a windows vm for gaymen and running linux all the time

already tried this and PCI passthrough is a joke. Can't even get full potential of the card

I got around 95% of the performance with my rx480
you probably did it wrong
it also helps to have non-k or xeon cpu's, k cpu's don't have virtualization extensions

>3770k.
well fuck

If you're in the USgay the MPAA can just buy all the histories torrent users and mass sue

I'm running full windows right now since I'm trying to make a system image, and it's just easier doing that on a windows host

You wanna use integrated graphics for your linux and have a dedicated GPU for winblows

LIAR
I have like 1 tb from nyaa and never get any notices.

I download 'london has fallen' and get my net shut off the NEXT DAY. Piece of shit movie.

The way it works is the rightsholder (e.g. Disney) hires contractors known as copyright trolls (e.g. Righthaven) to enforce their copyrights. They do this by going to popular indexers/trackers such as KAT or TPB and joining swarms for torrents they have been authorized to "protect." They then log the IPs of all peers in that swarm, and notify your ISP that x address was infringing at y o'cock. Your ISP likely doesn't really give a shit about them but to protect themselves from litigation, they have to notify the infringers, so they search for who had that address at that time and send them a DMCA notice. Then, it's up to the copyright troll if they want to press the matter further. Because it's a long and expensive process, it's very often not in their interest to take you to court, meaning it's done with that. Unless they catch you a bunch of times and say to themselves "we can sue the pants off of this guy", in which case, you're stupid as fuck to be caught that often and can only blame yourself.

So in effect, as per your original question, because most anime isn't even licensed in the west, and of those that are, most aren't popular enough for a rightsholder to care enough to pay some fuckers to deal with enforcing it, and even then, most copyright trolls for anime will just settle with taking down youtube uploads of anime so they don't have to do as much work, the odds that you get in trouble for torrenting anime are slim to none

do you use any Seedbox or VPN?

Is this fucking bizzaro \g\? Why the fuck do none of you retards use proxies or vpns?

because I don't care what my ISP does
I don't have anything supporting them sending a party van to my house

Pretty much if you're downloading something fairly new, there's a chance you'll be caught.

I think you underestimate how many media companies Comcast owns. That own universal studios for example. The only reason anime is ignored is because its mostly licensed in Japan and when it is licensed in America its only licensed to the likes of funimation (who doesn't give a shit about fansubs cause physical media sales) and crunchyroll (who get salty but aren't big enough to do shit).

Anything 4XXX or newer should have vt-d extensions even on k CPUs (my 4790k has them). For some reason on earlier k CPUs Intel decided you shouldn't have overclocking and virtualization cause fuck consumers I guess.

nothing yet from either comcast or time warner (now spectrum) so far.

Any alternatives to bittorrent that normalfaggotry don't use?
Tixati any good?

Snatching is rude and undermines the torrent infrastructure. If people can't be relied on to seed then torrents die and you end up with either a public tracker full of dead torrents or a private tracker full of power abusing mods (in a lot of cases) and strict ratio limits that are nearly impossible to maintain without uploading original content.

It's possible. And it's possible to wipe your ass with it, which is all a notice is good for.

In America, it's highly unlikely, action is only really taken for torrenting recent mainstream entertainment; I've only ever gotten notices for Old World Blues (shortly after release) and a batch of Bob's Burgers episodes that were at most one season old if not from right after they aired.

Apparently Japan really cracked down, though, from what a friend who recently spent a year there tells me.

On a side note, since I'm a dumbo will copyright lawyers buy my internet data and hunt me down?

If it's licensed by an American distributor, yes. FUNI sends copyright notices for its dubbed shows. So just don't be a dubfag, and you're alright.

yet nyaa is still alive.

im a shitbag, and i really dont care.

I haven't torrented anything in years, but I kinda want some new stuff to watch and Netflix is pure ass.

Is there a guide or recommendations for which sites are still up, and which clients people should be using?

Yes, and good.

Support the poor gook making your anime shit. Since you're so good at shitting on art degrees, may as well be time he gets compensated for the work you leech off of him.

based COX

I've been torrenting anime from public and private trackers for 9 or 10 years now and I've never gotten a single notice. Or if they have, they're in the ISP-provided email account that I've never logged into.

good taste in music

Probably but they won't care as long as it's not too big and has a dub running at the same time. If you torrent a blockbuster movie then you'll definitely get a letter.

What kernel are you using? The latest versions have improved VFIO capabilities.

I've downloaded thousands of gbs of movies/software/anime/books/music/vidya

only got 1 notice from torrenting a cam of a movie that just opened in theaters a week ago at the time. now I just make sure I wait till noone cares about something before I download it
