the high seas hace grown more treacherous, but you still can.
More treacherous than LimeWire was? I think the fuck not, that boi was filled with Justin_Bieber_Baby.mp3.exe’s
That stuff is so easy to deal with, 1 its fucking obvious its a .exe and second you can just run it in a VM. What, is your PC going to struggle running a VM that only has to run audio or video?
It’s considerably easier to deal with these days so the seas are less treacherous. Even Windows’ default antivirus will catch most of those too.
In what way?
many governments will snitch on you if they find you doing it. some countries need a vpn to hide yourself now.
The government will snitch on you to who? A foreign government?
usually to the copyright holders so they can sue you. or they cut your internet access.
Yeah, ISPs are usually under pressure to obey the copyright holders. But VPNs should always be used.

That’s the point though, basically no-one used VPNs back in the day.

Now its basically required.

Today it’s harder, not more dangerous.

But also everything is darker.
