@MoeBritannica So how was it confirmed? Screenshot of a post that says another guy got a letter?
@MoeBritannica Of the models, ye? How's it confirmed it's trained on CP?
His ISP may have just detected torrents going on and sent him legal threats against piracy for all that post actually says, if the guy that says he got a letter isn't lying, if the guy in the screenshot isn't lying, if the screenshot is real to begin with

@applejack @MoeBritannica afaik, your ISP won't flag you down just for downloading torrents because it's just a p2p connection and those happen often, plus torrents themselves are legal. if you're playing nintendo games online you're gonna' have a p2p connection, for instance. your isp will only send you a letter if there is a hollywood film studio that sends the isp a notice saying that you were pirating their movie, which they find by just looking at all of the IP addresses that are currently downloading the torrent.
@Zerglingman @applejack @MoeBritannica yeah the last time i did that it was lightyear and that's only because my friend wanted to watch it but didn't want to pay for it because he knew it was gonna' suck lol. can't remember the time before that.
music doesn't really get torrented very much now either with streaming services around and youtube ripping but it's a problem there also.
idk if torrenting video games will get you flagged or not. it seems like game companies might not care as much because people won't be able to play them online if they are getting cracked ones. you can't really put DRM on a movie though, there are so many ways around it that are super easy, music is even easier, so that's probably why they hang around in torrents to catch people in the act.
