>Perfect Dark updated to 1.24 after like 6 years of silence.
I don't think people use that as much anymore.
It's not like pirating is popular over there in the first place. It's frowned upon.
I think some guy got years in prison for pirating One Piece like 2 years ago.

>>34777022
Yeah, the thread on 5ch is currently discussing how piracy is almost dead.

>>34777063
except I always see jap ips in the swarm when I seed old manga, vns, /a/ or jap horror movies

Apparently there is no change other than being recompiled. I wouldn't touch it, could be a trap.

In which corner of earth piracy is dead and people get prison sentences for downloading anime?

>>34777228
The corner where bald businessmen scurry around to get every last yen coin for their "work" in the industry.

>>34777101
Yeah, but they never share. Almost all 職人 are gone.

Do Japanese people not know how VPNs work?

>>34781693
It's frowned upon.

I changed my ISP recently and found out that I couldn't open ports so I had to use a VPN for Perfec Dark.
Yesterday I opened Perfect Dark with the VPN on, turned the VPN off after half an hour and PDark just kept working for hours even though I couldn't open ports. How does that work?
>>34781720
More than pirating and having that show up on iknowwhatyoudownload.com?

ah yes, Vicky, Tara, Jenny, MashaB... good times

>>34782058
He's implying that knowledge of VPNs has an effect on piracy. Piracy in general is frowned upon. It doesn't sit well and can be punished.

>>34777101
I often use my VPN to Japan ip so you can't be sure those Japanese ip you see are actually in Japan

>>34776961
Expect it to be backdoored then. Silence and sudden updates usually are.

>>34776961
Anyone got a link to the update? It closes automatically unless it's updated.

>>34782058
VPN providers collect your info as well so its not like its any different. In another case they only have you ip and in another they also have your billing info to go with your ip, VPNs are really only useful for getting access to region locked sites or going around release dates when there is different release dates in regions and avoiding bans i guess, on sites that haven't already banned VPN ips

>>34789057
>VPN providers collect your info as well so its not like its any different
Stop using terrible providers or just selfhost. There's tons of oneclick selfhost VPN services, but a proper provider is better. It'll never protect you if you somehow anger a three letter agency but it'll stop CnDs, which is all it's for.

>>34792943
k now your metal host is collecting your data. privacy isn't real

>>34792943
Its not really about terrible providers, every thing have their price, and sooner or later all of VPN providers will be selling them, which is kinda of good since they kinda undermine google in sense.
But this is just me having drunken thoughts, dont mind me.
also sorry my ignorance or drunkeness, most likely both but what's CnDs?

>>34793101
cease and desist. the titular "letter from my isp"

>>34793183
i see but that's just problem for those who share.

>>34793247
retard

>>34793285
How so? please enlighten me if i am such retard.
But i know you wont, you rather keep me in my ignorance.. or drunkenness, which i dont mind really.

>>34793031
They aren't because nobody is going to ask. Again, if you piss off a three letter agency it's over, but some random company in Japan, or Crunchyroll, or someone isn't going to get a judge to supoena the non-existant records or allow a wiretap. It's just not a real threat. It stops the automated letters for 3-5 a month and puts you just beyond the barrier to entry for automated data collection which is easily worth it.

>privacy isn't real
True, but tiers of privacy aren't real. You can't hide everything but that doesn't mean you should post every single bit of info about yourself to facebook every five minutes. Incremental improvements are improvements, VPN fearmongering hurts privacy minded people.

>>34793370
Sharing is caring, and if you're downloading your IP is in the swarm just like everyone else. It'll still get scraped by bots. You're just as fucked if you don't seed.

Am I doing something wrong? Perfect Dark resets itself every time I start it up.

Over 70% of people downloading anime on nyaa are japs on residential IPs. Those who do it, do it because they don't think it's fair to have to wait and buy the expensive BD release that's meant (priced) only for people who are already fans if they miss episode 5, or if a friend watched the first episode and told them about how cool it is when there's no way the episode will get a rerun. There's also how for many VNs that aren't distributed digitally you have to buy used copies and 0% of that money goes to the creator anyway.
>>34793101
Some VPNs, like PIA, have already proven that they don't log shit in court. Do you think they'd enable the logs for a random fag who just pirates anime?

>>34799113
>Over 70% of people downloading anime on nyaa are japs on residential IPs
Not saying I don't believe you, because there are definitely many Japanese IPs in swarms that I check, but how do you know this? 70% seems like a very big number.

>>34799113
>proven that they don't log shit in court
Was this before or after being bought by Kape?

Japan kinda stands out in being the only modern nation without a real justice system. I think the conviction rate in Japan exceeds 99%. They're a shame culture, so they're not looking to do real justice. It's stuff like this why the Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn, came up with a daring escape because he knew the justice system is a kabuki theater.

As a giant American I wouldn't be scared of serving time in Japan. I would be like godzilla in Japan. I'm big/muscular even among my fellow Americans. The average male height in Japan is 170.7cm (5'6”) which is near our women's height. I would be bending over yakuza guys in the shower on the daily. #NoHomo

In what modern nation is pirating not frowned upon.

Spain.
Politicians tried to cut back on piracy back around 2010 or so but it just caused a giant shitstorm and they have basically given up now. Feels good man.

>I think some guy got years in prison for pirating One Piece like 2 years ago.
Didn't they find CP on the Rurouni Kenshin mangaka's computer? I don't recall him serving any jail time. What type of ass backwards world gives someone 2 years for pirating a kids cartoon versus 0 years for downloading CP.

>>34802586
He ordered and possessed physical DVDs from a site IIRC

The average woman in the US is 162.1 cm. I wouldn't say that's near. Americans just over-represent taller women because they find them attractive.
