get a seedbox. it's less than the price of a big mac per month

It's because he downloaded Chicken Run, not because he downloaded at all.

Why fucking Chicken Run of all things?
I mean it's a great movie and all but it's so old that you could probably just order it on DVD for a few cents and pay less than the electricity costs that is required to run your PC

>spoof mac address
>us public wifi to pirate shit
>change mac back when you are done

wow so hard

Copyright kills

>university wifi
no fucking shit

>britcucks
AYYYYY

>tie your credit card and by extension your identity to a service you use for illegal activities

Or you could just not be a retarded normie and learn basic networking instead.

Powering the optical drive for DVD playback likely costs more than the energy required for disk writes and reads for the downloaded version.

That's why eduroam is bad. Everything you do is associated to you. Do not use eduroam, ever.

I work at a college, I see that eduroam network but never use it. They also have an open wifi network, I go on Sup Forums from that.

>Gianna used patchy connections to The Cloud and 4G in her university dorm during the suspension.

>The Cloud

What do British "journalists" think "the cloud" means?

Either way, since she's a girl she could no doubt get some guys to pass their Wifi Connection on to her.

I use it all the time and never got in trouble for downloading things. Just depends of the uni

Or you could not be a retarded Sup Forums spilloff and know that pretty much any seedbox accepts bitcoin or paypal and no one sane pays for seedbox with credit card.

>"Another person got caught for downloading Shrek and she's still blocked," she says

I'm calling fake news on the entire story.

Young people don't watch these movies.
It was just a propaganda piece from the copyright lobby to scare people.

Everything you did is still associated to you, even if they don't care. But what if they someday care...

>University

University is overrated honestly Community College and MOCC is where it's at. I never was in trouble for being on their servers.

If my University catches you, they just make you take a dumb online module. They recently changed it I think after like 3 times getting caught, they take away WiFi and Ethernet privileges.

Sucks to be a Brit

Certain Universities require student ID login. That's how one retard who used Tor to "hack" got caught.

Kids who are in college now were basically the target market for those movies when they came out.

I'm pretty sure they didn't go by MAC-address since that would require them to search the entire university to find the correct device. Most likely you have a personal login for the university network.

Both of which require some method or compromising payment, unless you mine shitcoins yourself.

You're only mitigating the threat and still ultimately relying on a third party not to shit the bed in some way or gleefully rat you out.

You realise there is such a thing as prepaid credit cards, right?

Your name isn't tied to them.

No shit.

How the fuck do people get caught pirating when private trackers exist?

>spoof mac address
>connect to network
>run a scan for connected devices
>grab all mac addressees and dump into a database
>disconnect
>wait a few hours
>spoof mac address from the database
>connect to network
>do mischief
>disconnect
>restore mac address to original

>prepaid credit

It's called debit you idiot.

I got caught torrenting at my university. I was on my personal wifi network so I thought I was safe, but it turns out that each room's ethernet connection has a static IP. But all they actually did was send me an email telling me to delete it.

>private trackers are more secure than public trackers

ha
HA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Oh Sup Forums, are you really this dumb?

this crap makes me remotely log in to my home computer, instead of getting logged to shit and back

So let's recap:

You placed a WiFi router on your Ethernet line and logged into that.

And you thought this would hide your activities.....how?

Because they can get in there as easy as you did

I'm in level 7 trackers. The instant someone even remotely gets a DMCA notice, the spy gets permabanned.

>level 7 trackers

elaborate. what level is ptp and btn, 2?

And they will tell who the spy is........how?

But at that point the damage has already been done

>personal login for the university network.

I noticed at a hotel I stayed in one time that the captive portal could be bypassed by making a vpn connection to a non standard port with udp.

>Pirating over university Wi-Fi
Oh come on, even I use my own fucking connection.

In any case, piracy is part of Internet culture, especially here on Sup Forums. Stop trying to fear monger. We all know you're a paid shill for the MPAA trying to get people to stop making your company bleed money. You and the anti-adblock shill can fuck off. Your kind isn't wanted here.

No its not faggot. its like a gift card
in the us you cant use the card until you call into the 1800 number and dox yourself.
Idk if they actually check it before turning the card on or not, but its pretty fucked. they want name, number, address, and social security number

The Cloud is the brand name of a network of public WiFi hotspots in the UK. Stupid name, I know. I think they're run by Telefonica.

Young person here, I watch those movies.

>No its not faggot. its like a gift card

>implying gift cards aren't debit.

>social security number

I would never give that info to anyone but a recognized government person.

and I don't see how they can check any of those details, so just give them whatever random non-existent name you can think of

Maybe so. There is such a thing as a backup and a domain name change, though.

PTP and BTN are very low on the ladder. I'd say level 3 or 4.

>what are peer logs

It's a prepaid debit card.

I didn't think that my room had its own IP address. I assumed that the same IP was used for the whole dorm or at least a few rooms, and they wouldn't be able to trace it directly back to me.

whats level 5 6 and 7 then?

What's linkomanija ranked?

I dont know either, but financial compaines are given access to this shit in some way (I think for credit ratings or some shit).
Paypal has several of my accounts locked and they are holding about $70 usd from me because I am refusing to give them: full name, social security, a photo of my holding my government issue id with name and picture visible, and 2 proofs of address.

Also fyi, greendot cards will run a usage fee every month if you dont use them, and if the car hits 0, the balance WILL go into the negative.
I found my old greedot card a while back and called in to see if I had anything left on it and they told me that I owed close a two-digit amount.

If I would have just went to the store to reload it, then my money would have disappeared.

>Peerlogs
How the fuck do you want to tell which of the peers were snooping?
>Backup, Domain change
So Private Tracker are in no way different than public ones

I'm not sure you know how bitcoins work.

People still don't use VPNs for this shit.

It's 2017 not 1997.

whats a vpn

What's a google?

so its a search provider?

lmgtfy.com/?q=vpn

...

You're dumb

And how would you imagine the network knew where to send each data package to?

tfw not poor

>>what are peer logs

So let's say there were 1000 peers and one of them got a notice.

Will the remaining 999 get permabanned?

the fuck you talking about, everyone watches shrek

the router?

and the router has what to distinguish itself from another device?

>Implying normalfags won't download Shrek for muh nostalgia and muh ebin Shrek maymays
Chicken run falls in the same category, though it means more to the former than the latter.

The router has an IP address. I had assumed that multiple rooms were connected to a single router.

>UK
Nobody gives a shit

>UK
May it die the most painful death possible.
They are bigger cucks than even Sweden.
The nation failed as a real world empire,
so now they are attempting to be a digital one
out of butthurt and compensation tactics.

I seriously think that we should all cut UK off from the Internet.
That's what their copyright organizations apparently want.

Underage b&

And?
My school was cracking down on file sharing back in 2001.
Schools of any merit generally don't fuck around with this stuff.

I think you mean there is only one PUBLIC IP address.
This might very well be the case.

The router will assign a PRIVATE IP addresses to each of the devices on your network.
And if you use your own router it will again assign its own private IP addresses to your devices.

Since the system administrator controls the main router going to your dorm room he can monitor all traffic and see exactly to which room it goes.

>Schools of any merit generally don't fuck around with this stuff.

Why not?

When I was as the University of Amsterdam it was pretty much encouraged.
Are British colleges all cucked by corporations?

>torrenting
>illegal
what shithole do you live in, user?

>Are British colleges all cucked by corporations?
yes we are :(

People even ask, "oh, where are we going to get ? It's not on Netflix".

>I noticed at a hotel I stayed in one time that the captive portal could be bypassed by making a vpn connection to a non standard port with udp.
Got my internship by reporting something like that
>mfw

Ok, I thought it was clear that I meant public IP address the whole time, but I can see the confusion. The university itself didn't call me out for torrenting, a DMCA complaint was sent to them, since they're the ISP in this case, and they forwarded the complaint to me. I think they don't really care about piracy or whatever, but they have to forward the complaints if they can trace them because due diligence or whatever.

And I later confirmed that each room does in fact have its own unique public IP address.

>its like a gift card
thats a debit card

>in the us you cant use the card until you call into the 1800 number and dox yourself.
I'm a burger and the Visa prepaids work even before you activate them, they just ask you to sign a receipt whereon I draw a heavily stylized penis.

The information is for online shopping. Some websites to prevent fraud by checking the info you give them to the billing info of the card.

>Chicken run hasn't become a meme yet
We have time

What;s a good vpn for torrenting? I tried Ibvpn 2 yrs ago and it was shit

You're a retard.

>they just ask you to sign a receipt whereon I draw a heavily stylized penis.
lmao fuck

fug, I go on Sup Forums all the time on that. I did once start torrenting without thinking what I was doing, but it was just a bsd iso, and I cancelled it after about a minute.

Must suck for people who have botnet internet like this in their dorms. My isp doesn't give a fuck about torrenting

That link is a joke website that Googles something for you, because you're too lazy and/or stupid to do it yourself. It's called Let Me Google That For You, hence the 'lmgtfy' in the url.

You're probably just being a smartass, but there you go. Now you know.
