To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don't look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it's just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett's manual search.
Nah, even in Canada you just get a warning everytime a rights holder complains. I have Teksavyy, which is a decent ISP, they take the "scary" letter/email the rights holder sends and enclose it in a cover letter that says "we're legally required to send this to you, however they don't know who you are so don't respond to them or expose yourself in any way. The only way for them to find out who you are is if a judge compels us to tell them, which is rare"
There is no amount of these warnings that leads to a higher consequence.
I expect that if Canada is this chill, I'd be surprised if Uganda was more strict.
It's mostly just the US that's insane about copyright I think. You guys have Hollywood and the music industry and they got no chill.
It's also Germany where torrenting without VPN is not possible. There's one single law firm that has contracts with most big IP holders. They look up IP's on public trackers and sent an "Unterlassungserklärung" to the name and adress of the person paying the ISP. ISP's having to give out names to IP's without a court order is the problem here.
Ouch, sorry to hear that. Anyone know if that's the same with other EU member states?
Not nearly. The Czech Republic is largely a free haven. We don't have good public trackers, though.
Use private trackers then
