They are coming for you
>>735613749you lost paypig
I'm a thirdie who has never once used a VPN for anything in his life.I've been pirating for as long as I can remember, but I have never had any kind of problem.Should I still pay for a VPN just for safety's sake or nah?
I wish boomers admit that AAA was a mistake
>>735613749wtf?why do they care about old game roms all of a sudden?
Why do ISPs care so much about games that aren't even being sold in stores anymore?
>>735613749>unapproved siteHe lives in a country where that's a thing. Unless the site itself reports what you download to your ISP (not the case with Vimm), they only know you connected. URLs and data are encrypted.
kek our gay little amazon echo router blocks ALL russian websites, mysteriously one day i couldn't jump on cs.rin.ru anymore, only on my verizon mobile network. paypigged for my mullvad the other day and sure enough i can get back on.they're not even subtle about this shit anymore, certain x alternative domains are blocked too.
>>735613882Zoomers openly promoting playing roms on tiktok or whatever. Nintendo saw red.
>>735613882>>735613890new age digital prohibition. rom sites are just an unfortunate victim
>>735613749Do Europeans really? Oh no no no no ahahahah
>>735613890>>735613890essentially>few million nerds emulate shit over literal 2 decade for a console they no longer make/sellfine by nintendo, dont step on them they wont fuck you, dont care if a tendie playing old shit for personal jerkbut now>every AI startup venture capitalist is scraping Vimm's lair over and over for all its content to feed into an IP stealing machine essentially, all copyright owns are getting extremely stingy on whats being shared and how because theyre big afraid on shit getting stolen and appropriated without them being paid
>>735613965Feels weird having the internet ruined by faggots after being on it for 20+ years
>>735613749So sad what happened to Vimms, glad I got almost everything I wanted from there before zoomers broadcasted their piracy to nintendo and sony like absolute fucking retards
>>735613882Yeah what the other anon said. Raspberry Pi emulation got really popular because of this specific product being sold that comes preloaded with retroarch or some shit (totally generic bullshit) and some youtubers trying to hop on this wave made videos and tiktoks like, "Here you go on vimmslair dot com and there's just games for free".
>>735613864third world countries don't care, this is mostly for first world ones like the ones in the EU where software piracy is a criminal offense
>>735613749piracy is legal in my country, our providers just delete all the mails they get warning them of their users pirating
>>735614067>first world>outside USAPick one.
>>735614032Well at least you can get to playing all of those games you downloaded!
>>735614032There's a few more lowkey sites but I don't even want to type them out here for social media addicted faggot loser zoomers to try and monetize.Most of them are over 2 decades old.
>>735613749just the wonders of muttlandia and its kike empire
>>735614030worst of all it's getting ruined by the same normies who called you a nerd and loser 20 years ago for being on the internet and playing gamesletting them onto the internet and turning them into phone drama scrolling faggots was the biggest mistake of the past 20 years. the iphone should've never been made
>>735613864Nah mate, this is something only cucked burgerland ISP's do, because that's the only country where people literally just pay to get laws passed that only benefit their business and screw over everyone.If you don't live in a shit country you're fine.
>>735614114USA is third world though
My ISP dont care if i download anime or jav. I doubt they care about this.
>notice from ISP showing too much activity from unapproved website >The website is 4chan wwyd
>>735614368Send a picture of the ISP's regional manager's house to him.
>>735614264I never got called nerd or loser 20 years ago because most people assumed I wasn't into gaming and if they found out they would fake interest to try and impress me.
>>735614295>matethis is ironic because OP source is from australia where ISPs will relay cease & desists to private customers who then have to pay sums to avoid lawsuitsoh its the same for the UK and Canada btw
>>735614295Are they doing it for direct downloads off places like vimm though?usually our ISPs only chirp about letters if we torrent without a vpn and all you have to do is just ignore it.
>>735614413Not all australian isps do this. You need to not blindly just sign up with fucking telstra or optus.t. never received a notice in 20 years of piracy
>>735614032Zoomers ruin everything. I'm honestly surprised Google didn't DMCA the creators of ^anced yet. I'm sure once it gains popularity it will one day suddenly stop working. I'm never buying premium. Fuck that.
>>735614295burgerlandic ISPs just forward scary emails from Nintendo which recipients then throw in the trash.
>>735613749Third world you mutts love to talk a lot of shit about doesn't have this problem :^)
I think it's pretty mega gay that ISPs even give out that information. It's not anyone's business if I pirate some show or game
>>735614638>>735614413
>>735614638fair trade you guys can pirate all day but we don't have to worry about being unalived by motorcycle monkeys when stepping outside
wtf is this thirdistani gibberish
>>735613749Let me guess. Germany.
>>735614715>being unalived by motorcycle monkeysi mean, we get unalived by porch monkeys over here.
>>735614691anon, you're forgetting, the ISP is in the room with you
>>735614067I'm pretty sure it's literally just US and Germany
>>735614715>unalived you can say "killed" here, nigger
>>735614758>>735614413
>>735614295>mateI sure as fuck hope you're not from Australia as you say this otherwise that's some profound lack of self awareness.
>>735614638What was that? I can't quite understand what you just typed, with your shitty English and all.
>>735613749>isp threatens to remove internet access>threaten to sign with their competition>they fuck offdamn that was hard
>>735614770That's silly anon why would the
>>735614858Anonymous? ANONYMOUS?????
>>735614768>>735614786true
>>735614850This actually works, they tried to tack on some bullshit charge for our internet here and I just told them I wanted to cancel so I could switch to a new provider, and immediately the charge was removed and they even upgraded my package at no cost.
>>735614850he... he is the One... the Corpowhisperer...
>>735614850lmao I did this recently to my ISP provider because they kept calling me too much and talking about meandering bullshitCustomer service agent immediately gave up too, they probably hear that all the time
>>735614953funniest is when the mcdrone is forced to give a spiel afterwards about how you are such a loyal customer and thank you for all the support over the years we truly value you!i sit there while giving nonanswers every time so they're forced to go through with itlmao
>>735614312We define what first world is.
>>735613749The site does not need to rat you out to the ISP, your ISP knows what domain you visit, even over ssl, they just won't know the subdomain.So they see a small amount of packets between you and the IP corresponding to the website being exchanged and a larger amount of packets being sent by the website to your IP, which means you are downloading something with a larger file size.This is trivial to automatically recognize and send a notification by the ISP, they only need to realize the website hosts unwanted material and blacklist it.
>>735613931This, I can only imagine this is a europoor thing
>>735614776japan too
>>735615225SNES roms are like 300kb though
>>735615328You go to Vimm's primarily for ISOs. any shitty old website can give you roms.
>>735615225That doesn't give them any details besides you are downloading a large file.
>>735613749Must be sad, being a mutt across the pond
>>735615418That's enough to send you a warning

>>735613965Zoomers and gen alpha are so stupid they don't understand opsec. They want the clout even if they get banned for making tutorials
>>735615514The screenshot is real. He's in some country with proactive ISPs that heavily monitor traffic. https://vimm.net/bbs/?p=viewPost&Post=37355
>>735615514I checked and the screenshot is real. Bro's never read how people type on forums.
>>735615548Yes, but only one is astroturfing the thread/site/internet
>>735613749Tor is slow as fuck but somewhat usable for older games, at least.
>>735615629He's definitely foreign. He apparently plays a lot of f2p shit like Second Life and Warframe. He had a post on the SL forums and wrote prices using the dollar sign after the number.
>>735613749Which country? Some places are stricter than others
>>735615645Nah both are, both are greedy tier monetization faggot demons.
>>735615739Define foreign, not everyone on here is America (I'm Britbong)
>>735615747>Both sides badCaught a live one boys!
>>735615773Did you have to verify your ID to make this post?
>>735615773Anything outside the USA.American ISPs only do shit based on reports. If you download a bunch of warez/movies/music without a VPN, your ISP doesn't know or care until a copyright holder sends a subpoena for information or a DMCA notice.In a huge portion of other countries, UK included, there's a level of active monitoring, where the ISP will warn or suspend based on what they consider troublesome sites.
>>735615773he's from a country where people learn broken English by playing f2p slop
>>735615825NTA but yes they're both gay.
>>735615892>NTAAt least you're funny chaim, can't say that about most of your pig brothers
>>735615846The OSA has mostly been a nothingburger.

>>735616010A(N)on in (T)el (A)viv
>>735615850The UK does not actually do anything unless you are reported. The two biggest backbone providers' actual ISP businesses block sites like 1337x but other ISPs don't.You are however fairly likely to end up arrested if you're being anti-brown on twitter without using a VPN.
>>735614413This doesn't happen in the UK. You can be warned about piracy, but you can't be fined by your ISP

Reminder to download important stuff
>>735613965Bingo.Retards couldn't stay silent, just like they can't figure out a fucking file system.
>>735616630American ISPs aren't proactive like that. Nice try. Let me know the temperature of your (parents') house in 3 months.
>>735614758Germany just straight up blocks sites they don't want people going to instead.
>>735614715yet
>>735614786*k*ll*d
>>735617145I live in italy i am immune to heat. Also american isp can track what are you downloading with torrent, here is illegal. My isp can't send me threatening letters the moment i have proof they spy on me i can sue and i'lll probably win without any effort.The fact you think you are safe because "they are not proacive" is exactly how you lose your rights because you are too dumb to understand the consequences.
>>735617270Dunno seems like they're quite active when you use a "pezzotto" to watch football
>>735617149This is how it works in the civilized world.Isp block the site, gubernment is happy.I use a vpn, the isp knows perfectly i am using a vpn but they can't tell shit because if they do i can act against them and the government itself so i can do whatever the fuck i want.Everybody is happy.
>>735615219starving in my first world country to own the libs
>>735613864You're fine if your country isn't openly/secretly run by tribals
>>735613749Lmao,americucks are so pathetic.
>>735617319Cuz they are dumb. Normies log into websites that are honeypots, they have no idea of what a vpn is and they also pay with their main credit cards. It's like buying drugs on the website www.iselldrugsnotapolicesiteiswear.comIf they catch people with the soccer games, you can be sure they are dumbfucks with 0iq that get fished because they have zero internet knowledge. Also soccer is kept especially in check here because it's the big cheese of gambling and a shitton of money goes around there. Nobody ever goes into trouble for movies, animes, vidya or whatever unless you go too greedy and you go public asking for money. The point is always that, you asking for money stirs the pot.
>>735617345I'd argue a civilized world just lets you go where ever, however it's still more civilized than bongistan and their colonies I'll give you that.
>>735617270Without fingerprinting, no, your ISP can't track what you're downloading. Everything is hashed, so it's hard to actually monitor traffic that way. The way people get in trouble is:>connect to torrent without VPN>copyright holder has a client on the torrent>they save lists of IPs at different intervals>they sort them by ISP and send subpoenas for information on who used that IP at that time in one big John Doe subpoenaSo no, the ISP is not watching. The solution is to spend $50/year on a VPN.>>735617353I literally throw away hundreds of dollars of food every month because I just have too much. I could feed your entire mud hut village with it.
>>735617524>civilized world just lets you go where everIt's money. Not a big deal. You can't hunt in the king's woods since the beginning of time. But if you catch a couple of rabbits and you don't disturb the king when he's hunting, life goes on.
>>735613882When profits go down due to modern games being shit and not selling, the same people who are the cause of them being shit look for things to blame for the decreased profits. They cannot blame the games they created, so they look for other stuff like piracy.
>>735617669Piracy isn't the problem anymore. It's le heckin' bigoted chuderinos.
>>735617580>your ISP can't track what you're downloadingThen how come i saw a shitton of emails from isp in america that litterally says what you are downloading, the exact file name and all?Also an isp sending you a c&d is illegal. The state authority can do that, because it's their job, a private corpo can't do that here.
>>735613864Thirdie here, yes you should, i only turn my vpn off for 4chan nowadaysdo they care?NOyou still should and learn, and also make an habit of it and lower you digital print, just in case, UK, Australia and Europe WILL try to bully lesser countries into their ways, we alreayd cant use paypal worldwide outside of the 1st world countries due to collective shout whores in Australia, and Visa shuts down streaming competitions as well
>>735617749I just explained it. It's not the ISP monitoring it, because they don't care. They only act on reports from copyright holders.In the US, piracy is a civil matter unless you're actually making a profit or part of a release group. It's always lawyers representing the copyright holder contacting the ISP, and the ISP forwards the information to you.
>>735617749>Then how come i saw a shitton of emails from isp in america that litterally says what you are downloading, the exact file name and all?He just told you how in the post you're replying to, you retarded favela monkey.
>>735613749I've been getting these letters frequently for about 30 years and never once has there been any kind of consequence. Don't use a VPN either.
>>735617886it's performative
>>735617580>fat burger buys too much shit and is too retarded to cook without his mother to do it for him so he throws it out as it rots and orders more mcdonalds>thinks this is a winfunny thing is you're probably some faggot who thinks they're rich because you just breached above 100k or something, american poorfags are the worst because they think they're rich
>>735617353I really wonder how histrionic the Brazilian news is. You fags are always spouting delusional bullshit.
>>735617580>your ISP can't track what you're downloadingyes and no, they can 100% keep track, but depends on their blacklists, redflags, etcand how much does your ISP cares, hence why Australian will get in trouble if they download a petite anime girl or Simpsons porn
>>735617986NTA, but the goal post moving and cope coming from you is very amusing. I highly doubt you're a Euro, must be a thirdie. If you are in Europe it's because you're a parasite, not a European.
>>735617986Speaking of burgers, I ate fresh ones 8 times this week.
>>735613749ISPs dont give a shit about what you download unless your country's laws are anal regarding piracy.So basically Germany.
>>735618062We own Europe now, deal with it pigskin.
>>735613864It's a first world (and American) problem.
>>735617986>you can't afford any food and you're starving!>yes I can in fact I have an overflowing surplus of food>heh dumb wasteful Americans, I collect bread crusts and cheese rinds from the gutter for sustenance.
>>735618050Actually tracking a torrent without being connected to said torrent is nigh on impossible. The pieces come out of order from various IPs, and the infohash has to be captured (and be verified by the ISP). Direct downloads can be somewhat monitored, but there's a lot of tech built into modern browsers that can obscure URLs from your ISP. The file itself also can be harder to fingerprint with everything using SSL these days.Most of the time they just watch specific blacklisted sites.>oh, you downloaded from ATF? we'll contact the Kangaroo Kops
For further clarification about the torrent thing, look at picrel.Those are connected to a torrent I'm on. If I were a copyright holder, I'd sort out which of those aren't VPN IPs and contact the ISPs associated with them, saying they were downloading my copyrighted material at a specific time.They would then check their logs to see who was provisioned said IP at that time, and contact said person (and possibly turn over names if I sent a subpoena for information).The ISP itself is not monitoring torrent activity because it's not feasible.The realistic outcome is:>some people get scared and settle, and the rest are usually left alone because it costs money to do court filings
>>735618160You owned Europe, you don't own shit now.
>>735616685That only happens to people here on visas, which is hilarious Freedom of speech is for real Americans only, nigger
>>735618160Insulting your allies is a funny way to go about it
>>735618296if you have a static IP, its easy, if not, its hardISP can see the " flow" of data and correlateon I2P its impossible thoits late and I need to hit the bed, but from my memory the ISP is always seeing at least what browser you are using, and then depending of how badly you have your privacy settings configured>screen size>monitor size>browser "inner" area size, if you are on vpn they know you are on VPN but that's itso you should at least use a trusted DNS service to anonimize your web resolving connections . unironically go ask /g/ on the /cyb/ general about these topicshttps://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/
>>735616685>>735618547I think Texas is going full retard and doing it, but also want to ban card games including POkemon and Magic, so there's that, its prude religious central and always have been
just delete your roms 24 hours after you downloaded it. Noobs
>>735613749rare "third world country w" instancespics and brazilians are pirating these games left and right FOR FREE while we need to pay for a vpn
There's no reason not to use some kind of VPN/Proxy these days.
>>735613749Aren't VPNs against the law like torrents?
>>735620104wait, for real? this is the most cucked thing if true, but how would they even know it's you if you're behind a vpn?
>>735620104Some countries have weird restrictions (like India, who demanded that VPNs log, so a bunch of them pulled out), but they're mostly the norm in the west.
At least torrents still exist and are never going away
>>735620256Technically, you can identify VPN traffic at the ISP level, but nothing tunneled through it. If you did live in some dystopia that banned them, it'd be pretty easy to track and report.
>>735614067It's actually very few countries that care, even in the UK no one here cares. I know police officers who pirate lol.
>>735620104In bongistan, soon. Otherwise no. Not in most countries.
>>735618953>TexasExcept now it's all hindus. It's everything you hated about evangelicals but even worse and also brown.
>>735620386Indians and mexicans, yes.
Why doesn't the poster NAME and SHAME the ISP?My ISP has never cared ever but they've recently been acquired by Verizon so I don't know if that's going to change.I noticed Verizon blocked cs.rin.ru. Not sure if that was accident but VPN accessing the site worked.
>>735613749"Unapproved website" should be the reddest of the red flags here
>>735620104Torrents are legal.Torrents are just me and my bros sending files to each other and what files we send? It's none of your business. Unless you're russian vpns are also legal.
>>735620104In some countries.But also most good things are against the law.
>>735613749>"an" instead of "and"I've noticed this a few times, which brown subhuman race is this?
>>735618000This is muttmerica + everyone is circumcised
>>735614295Turns out the country that makes literally everything you consume cares about the security of it. Truly dystopian, how the whole world is obsessed with American culture, media, politics, and news.
>>735620104>Aren't VPNs against the lawThey literally advertise VPNs on national television in Canada, so no, they're absolutely not against the law
>>735620526It's aussie, canadian, or british.
>>735620589The US doesn't produce shit except mulattos and slop
>>735613749Good thing I downloaded most of the roms I want
>>735620675You're welcome.
Also, rereading the post in the screenshot -- It doesn't make sense. Your ISP wouldn't send you notices moments after clicking download on multiple links on the site. How would they?Typically that shit is sent in the mail with timestamp and dates.This is doomposting shitposting.

>>735620460>Unless you're russian vpns are also legal.that's good if true, but I've heard some european lawmakers are trying to push for VPNs to be criminalized, I don't know if this is true or not, can someone with better knowledge on this elaborate? If true, what are the odds of this passing?

>>735617023Can't even download anything because so many fags are panic downloading and running up the bandwidth, making 2gb downloads take 48 hours. It's effectively already gone.

>>735617761nta but what vpn do you recommend?
>>735620675You consume American media and culture non fucking stop. You follow American politicians and celebrities. You worship at American feet.

>>735621251They do, it's literally what they have done since the Wii. Hell I think the DS had something like that too.
>>735621405NTA also but I recommend ProtonVPN.
>>735620675You are a fish, and Americans are the water.
>>735621363Are you from when the announcement was just made?Downloaded some ISOs today and the speeds were good
>>735621579Actually yeah. I haven't bothered trying since that time but also I have everything I need anyway.

>>735613749>This thread
>>735621801Nobody does. Just use google drive or onedrive like a normal person.
>>735621657Proton's a real one. Nord, Mullvad, and Express are also safe. I had issues with Express functionality when I used it a couple years back (it randomly swapped IPs and didn't support port forwarding), but it might be better now.t. Proton user
>>735621657If you use the free one, possibly.The paid one is not.
>>735621938>NordYeah it's fine, I use that one and have never had a single issue when downloading anything. Probably overpriced compared to some other options though
>>735621657In general I never trust any VPN that advertises themselves through youtubers, proton, surfshark, express, whatever... I don't really know why but I get scummy vibes from them
>>735621000They are trying to make usage of VPNs 16 or 18+. Not make them illegal but it's still bullshit I know.
>>735621938>NordYou mean the one known for leaking users info repeatedly?
>>735621938Are you posting with it now? Everytime I tried to post with PVPN, I get "connection error" when posting. I'm assuming 4chan has blocked all ProtonVPN unless I'm missing something.
One time I got a letter for downloading a Beatle’s album. I told my grandpa to throw it away. End of story
>>735622057No, I use 2 web browsers. One is tunneled, this one isn't.
>>735622057>>735622093And I'm samefagging here, but most VPN IP ranges are blocked unless you pay for the Goychan Pass.
