Usually downloading will in near all cases be no problems, but there always bad examples where you get sued. With uploading you're even more on the spot. So yeah, if you want to be on safe side, take measures else ... gamble.
Another one here - I think the difference in your points might be location. If there even are hundreds of millions (I mean roughly a half worldwide even has access to the net - and if you are breaking it down to torrents - just watch nyaa dl stats those are often a few, sometimes not a dozen and may up to few thousands at best so screw that possible millions). There are countries watching for such a way more resp. at all, than in other countries where they don't give a shit even if it's illegal - yes there are such where it's even legal. Be aware -pure dl as here at AT is basically never a problem. But with torrents you (also) do upload (in your case even intentionally - purely). So I would base the decision on how it's done in the country - also if you might ever want to travel/live there. Second I still would use a VPN - and if it's just against profile scrapping for your next employer. Third - inform yourself about clients today. Fourth (choose where to upload - at scraps multiple sources - some might be less of a target).
One last thing to bear in mind is that an Internet Service Provider in the US (the one who puts the internet in your home) lost a $1 billion court case from the music industry for not stopping their customers from infringing copyright. It means you should hide your activities from your isp. They can't afford to ignore what you may be doing.
A very simple way to do such a thing is via a blog with some details of your ups, and a link to the DL, All of this can be done anonymously, and there would be like a 1 in a billion chance that any federal agencie is gonna go enemy of the state on your ass.
Just start a blog, make some anon email to use for starting accounts with the filehosts. You can use the filehosts that you see here on AT, or just google, there are hundreds!
Also, if you have releases for shows here that have limited or zero availability then dropping a link to your up on the pages here would be welcome.
And lastly, thank you for your interest in sharing, there is an instinctive urge to share good stuff I think, it is in fact what really made the internet become popular in the first place
The legalities are a minefield of definition, proper natural Law versus Statute, Mandate etc etc (Humans have very different rights and obligations under each variant)
Basically, The corporations made a big fuss, there was a LOT of propoganda and a major fear campaign, and maybe 2 or 3 test cases that made BIG news. As always with these things, there are far too many people using torrents to ever even notice such campaign, other than normieland like reddit EVERYONE will advice against pirating, but out here in the real world noone really pays any attention. There are far too mmany poor people that want access to media and software, and they will alway find a way, and will do so in their millions and hundreds of millions
The only real difference over the years is that sometimes there seems to be a big push where the corporations want their moniesworth from the senators and parlimentarians they paid to lobby, and a few big sites go down - and a thousands mirrors spring up with unlikely domain names (Think animetosho.cock !) And so the whackamole game ensues!
vpn's are a solution for now, assuming they don't sell you out, but they are being forced out of doing torrents in the US and maybe the EU. With torrents you are broadcasting the vpn's id, making them a target instead.
The problem with torrents is that you're broadcasting to the world what you're doing, and torrents can contain what courts have considered proof of your identity and proof that you have violated someone's copyright. In the US, some courts have delivered default judgements of $15,000 per such violation on such evidence. Some lawyers have also found this an easy way to send debt collectors after people with a minimum of effort, even if you do not respond to a lawsuit. Often they just need to send a letter offering to settle for several hundred dollars, or else. So maybe no one will bother you, or maybe you will find you will lose your next 10 years of income. It makes life exciting perhaps. Given the choice between lawyers and poison snakes, I would go with the snakes.
Supposedly direct downloads are much more dangerous than torrents. Of course for beginners. The number of fake downloads. Popup ads containing malware.
if you mean listing on AT, it only mirrors torrents posted on Nyaa and a few other torrent sites and only those which qualify as English translated anime. Read the About/FAQs link under the login for more info.
OK so I know this is going to be a total face palm for some of you here but please be nice. I love the site and have been using it for some time. I have a few titles in my personal library that are NOT available anywhere but my library. I want to share them but have absolutely no idea how to upload them. After your done screaming and throwing things at your screen, any help would be appreciated
Haven't looked into it, but if it's for a period of time, my assumption would be that there's some issue with their server during the time, which, unfortunately, I can't do much about.
Currently the time rendering is performed server side. Unfortunately browsers don't send to the server their time, in a HTTP request. It may be possible to estimate by geolocation, but is potentially unreliable.
The only real way to get the user's time is via Javascript, which means that either the whole page be rendered in Javascript, or the page is rendered server side, then Javascript comes in and patches up the times. I don't really like rendering the whole page in Javascript, as it means the site won't work without it. The second idea is probably the best. It could have a slight issue in that times would be wrong whilst the page is loading, only to be fixed once it finishes and Javascript kicks in, but probably not so much of an issue with the fast internet connections available today. I believe Nyaa is using this technique.
The Javascript patching approach is what I'd like to do, but this requires shifting the time renderer partially to the client, which is a bit of work for a codebase I don't want to change too much. The current workaround is to register an account and set the timezone there. If that offends you, perhaps I could add a timezone selector to the side - would require some manual intervention, but will stick as long as you don't clear cookies (or switch timezones frequently).
Websites like time.is and browserleaks.com can see what timezone the visitor is in. nyaa.si does the exact thing, shows the time a torrent is posted that matches the users time.
If the admin thinks this to much work and not worth it I can understand, it's not a huge deal but it's definitely something websites can do.
There was an anime ddl site that started publishing a real-time listing of the city and country of anyone who visited their site. That site and its traffic died quickly, thankfully. What were they trying to accomplish? No idea, there are always a few crazy/stupid people around.
Thanks for reporting - can anyone else confirm the same? I suspect that may happen if you're getting sent bad data, e.g. a modem/router/gateway page saying that the connection couldn't go through. I'm guessing it just randomly happens, so could be hard to diagnose.
Just seasons would be amazing I suggest to also be able to search them by using special words in the search, something like "$anidb=x $season=y text" to limit the text you wanna search(which will probably be the quality and the episode number) would be a great help.
Hello. What happened to this release ? Can it be downloaded somehow ? All links dead (seems removed by user) and torrent isn't working. I'm using deluge and I don't know does the last tracker work and I don't know how to add it manually. Thanks in advance for any advice! https://animetosho.org/view/hr-sekai-s...p.n1253480
