really really HATE you-know-what illegal material. but the frequency it gets brought up online really makes me wonder sometimes if there are really that many sick fucks out there or there are some sick fucks out there but governments like to also claim that it was you-know-what illegal material just so that people will tune it out and not look into things too closely…

I can kinda see govmint doing that kind of thing. specialy since there were all the “for the chidrens” anti-pribacy bills they try to sneak in in the past.

I usually keep a copy of the torrent in a folder just for those kind of torrents. then I make a copy in my qbittorent autoadd folder and tell qbit to not download anything except just the stuff i want before i start the torrent.

part of that is cuz i have my client set to auto-allocate space and don’t want some 50+GB thing eating all of my hdd space for temp files i might not even be interested in.

I know I’m late to the parrrty here, but for dumm-dumms like me, anybody care to explain what the cause behind this was?

From what I can tell Real Debrid was based out of France… but what made them change their tune all of a sudden? Did the owners get threatened similar to what people think happened to the guy running rarbg?

Or did France just suddenly start enforcing copyrights or something? If so, then does that mean any other things non-debrid related that are based out of France are likely to run into issues too? Like, I know some open-source stuff also uses (or at least used?) France as a soemthing of a copyright-haven so that they could basically host patented media codecs etc in a separate repo (I think Fedora nd OpenSuse both have unofficial repos that do that). Wondering if that kinda thing would also be affected too or just the *debrid stuff?
