Hey, I wanna start building a media library because I’m annoyed with all the streaming services. Only problem is, that I’m from germany with strict laws. Anyone here got experience with torrenting movies and stuff in germany?

Just to add to the conversation. German law firms get you by doing a honey pot attack. That means that they connect to the tracker as a downloaded to see who’s offering to upload. Then they send the info to your ISP to get your information and sue you.

This means that only real private trackers are kinda safe. If you go TL or IPT they may get in too, as these trackers are open for registration many times a year.

All in all, it is important to know how they try to track you.
