I cannot find information anywhere. Sorry, English is my second language.

I possess a DVD and want to upload this as a torrent so others can download it.

I burn the media to my Linux PC using a media ripper. I use Handbrake to convert the media and small the file size.

I can create a torrent. But how do I insure none of my computer’s personal information and identifiers are saved on that file? I dont want me to be found out if someone opens the file and somehow can see I’m the one who created it.

In other hand, how do the pirates create and upload media into torrents while protecting themself from being found out?

Edit: Corrected to Linux PC

    Sorry, I mean I am on Linux for this specific computer. I try on LInux because I’m worried with Windows, but don’t know.

      If you use the dolphin file manager, that might create a .directory file in every visited folder. But that is just annoying and contains some metadata, nothing bad
