For too long imo, piracy had become a “grab it all” environment. The old “Caring is Sharing” mantra seems to have disappeared. So maybe, this Lemmy could revert back 20-30 years to become a real sharing community. IDK.

It used to be that just being on the internet made you trusted enough to get the warez. I don’t know how to keep the movement alive with big brother watching out for his homies so hard. Decentralize, encrypt and anonymize I suppose. BT needs an overhaul to prevent attribution. Ten bucks says it’s easily possibile but the VPN companies who have our back will lobby against it, lol.
Sounds quite messy. I… Am not smart enough to do that stuff, unfortunately.
I am not ambitious enough unfortunately, and probably not smart enough either.
It’s a game of leapfrog and it’s at a little bit of a stalemate because people just pay $5/mo. for a VPN. It was a monetization race and that’s were we landed. I’m sure copyright holders are not happy with that, but there’s no incentive to develop or change anything because who doesn’t have $5/mo?
A lot of VPNs nowadays don’t even have port forwarding and such though, including Mullvad as of recently. Not to mention how many of them end up being compromised relatively easily.
