Someone with Japanese IP address is downloading all episodes of still airing anime show from me via Bittorrent. At quite high speeds/rates!
This feels WEIRD 😱
@Hyolobrika
Aren't they airing these shows right on TV in Japan? It's possible that they have missed earlier episodes and want to watch them, but why would they be downloading them with English subtitles instead of raw rips? 🤔
And of course it's possible that it's someone speaking English, but using VPN exit node in Japan or even currently living in Japan, but not speaking Japanese — but both are rather narrow corner cases and that makes it weird.
@Hyolobrika @m0xee i wouldn't torrent from a Japanese IP. I'm allergic to prison sentences.
@japananon
Likewise here, never was a fan of spending time in prison 😅
Luckily, theft (and by extension of it, copyright infringement and piracy) is often even encouraged here — half the Internet doesn't work if I use it directly, but at least I can do toorrenting right from my home IP-address.
@Hyolobrika
Nowadays I assume most people know to use a VPN or Tribbler, or they do it via the hotel wifi or something.
@Mark @m0xee @Hyolobrika I'm surprised the owner didn't throw their guests to the wolves. Piracy is treated as a pretty serious criminal offense now.
