I really hope this won't effect eroge releases too much.

>Here's hoping C77 won't be too affected

It won't. The Man has always been terrible at keeping up with pirates.

The Man also wants to pirate doujins and eroges too

Hello there my german friend.

I have a feeling all our Anime is going to come to a halt too. They are pushing this three strikes thing on a international level. Sony and all the big names are behind it.

>Toshiaki
He was trolling you.

They can't arrest us all, but they can scare us (especially the Jap users which have always been a relatively small percentage of internet users) enough to mess things up I feel.
It's all just an intimidation tactic, but I can't shake the feeling that it just might work.

Not gonna happen.

Oh Toshiaki, still hanging on to those flawed "anonymous" file-sharing protocols?

The Japanese need to be taught how to FTP upload stuff.

>>3921495
Use PD, and don't use Turbo mode in Share. That should give someone more than enough plausible deniability as they won't be able to prove exactly what pieces someone has. Most arrests seem to be based on people posting from their local boxes, without proxying to BBSes, not due to vulnerabilities in the actual p2p protocols.

>>3921522
Not really, if they could they'd have done it by now.
Most fansub groups have private cappers which don't use P2P these days, and P2P is only used as a backup source in case things go bad.

Sneaker-net is hard from Japan.

how safe is perfect dark anyway? I heard it was impossible to be caught, but well...

Why are the Japs so terrible at pirating?

>>3921655
Theyre not the ones using torrents. You think about that the next time you connect and your ip rings up on my netbridge.

>>3921495
To any Australian visitors, our lovely government has resurrected the ISP filtering proposal. Watch yourselves.

The 3 strikes attempt will be soon reality in all developed countries. Blame corporate lobby group, even more reason to pirate things. If they want war, they will get war, in the end they lose but we might suffer many personal hardships.

>>3921638
There's a "If you use this program you agree to not try to reverse engineer it you legal fucks" thing, and if Phoenix Wright taught me one thing it's that because of this reverse engineering it would make any evidence gotten from it illegal.

>>3921715
This is why they couldn't arrest anyone using Share by the way. No, wait...

>>3921755
I still haven't heard of a single arrest which was actually due to one of Share's weaknesses. When used right, it should be safe.

:(

>>3921787
But if people are too fearful to post their hashes on some BB, then things aren't going to spread easily. You can only run so many triggers.

>>3924553
They should just post behind 7 proxies like all the smart people do, or just not have servers based in japan for those things.

>>3921495
>Here's hoping C77 won't be too affected.
Why would it? It's doujin.
Also, use PD, it's more secure.

>>3924583
PD requires a unity folder of 40 GB. Can't be bothered to let my computer download that much irrelevant crap.

Plus I don't have 100 KB/s of upstream, it would choke my connection.

>>3924630
PD requires you have it set to allow a unity that big, it does not mean you need to have that much unity to download anything.

>>3924583
Sooner or later doujins based off of established series will get cracked down on by people claiming copyright violations. So no more porn of the latest moeblob, etc.

>>3924642
I remember hearing someone saying it will give less priority to your own downloads until your unity folder is full.

Could be wrong, though.

>>3921495
>Toshiaki
Try harder.

>Implying that JASRAC cares about eroge or toehoes.

I lol'd

there will be a day, when you will not be able to pirate anymore, a place where the companies won the piracy war... enjoy IP tracking and lawyers.

I have fear


beware of the dark times ahead

>>3924784
It's impossible to stop it. The best thing they could hope is to make it less mainstream.

>>3924784
Indeed it is coming. I fear that one day, encrypted P2P or possibly even all encryption will be banned, to shut down the last networks. But they'll never stop the sneakernets!

>>3921715
You think the corporations care?

Laws only apply to poor people who can't afford to buy judges and politicians.

>>3924784
The funny thing is if they succeeded it would hurt them more than it would hurt us.

>>3924859
They'd have to close down the Internet as we know it for it to happen. As long as 2 parties can communicate with each other, they can transmit any data they want. Ban encryption? some non-free countries have tried to do this with little success, but it's impossible in practice - you can't tell what is going on in an encrypted transmission, and encryption is very common today, lots of websites, banks, applications use it. Almost every server uses some form of SSL for SSH these days. It's already way too late to do anything about it. The only effective solution would be to shut down the internet as we know it, and destroy any device that can be networked somehow. Have the world go back to the dark ages, just to satisfy some silly corporations, right?

>>3924784

As many IP lawyers as there are, they don't have enough to go after everyone and never will. They just try to make examples of the few they have the resources to actually pin.

Also, the war on IP piracy predates the internet, predates computers even. There was a battle against cheap Canadian sheet music in the early 1900s. There were crusades against people who printed Bibles in the vernacular in the 1500s.

Really, once Gutenberg created the printing press, the cat was out of the bag on controlling the flow of information.

>>3924908
The big content corporations would be perfectly happy with that. They really would love to stuff the genie back in the bottle. They are trying to remake the Internet as it is trying to put a coin slot on everything.

All Lawyers need to be killed. All of them. They spread the disease of greed and corruption where ever they are found.
