Real-Debrid, a popular streaming and download service, has started returning copyright-infringement errors on many cached torrents. The renewed crackdown began days after a corporate restructuring. A third-party source says that long-time subscribers have lost 50 to 70 percent of their libraries overnight, with the filter targeting popular keywords such as WEB-DL, AMZN, and [RARBG].

    The main reason in this case, is because I live in Germany, so I’ll be fucking executed, if I get caught pirating.

    I already payed a thousand euros a few years ago when I was caught seedimg “Her” (I forgot to turn on my VPN). That’s when I decided to never do anything risky again, so I got a debrid service. That’s fine, because no actual seeding is now happening through my ip.

      I just have qbitorrent set to only use the VPN adapter in the settings, so if I open it and the VPN isn’t connected it just doesn’t work.
