I found I2P much better than Tor network, and now it supports BitTorrent protocol too https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent .

Why haven't the pirates migrated to I2P? Why are we still using clearnet and making people backout of seeding cause of DMCA?

No it doesn't, because that's how you get caught

I've been doing it for 20 years and have never been caught. I've never even heard of i2p until here just a couple of weeks ago. The fact that certain people are pushing it so hard and referring to standard methods in such a derogatory way makes me highly skeptical of trying it out.

Just because you haven't been caught doesn't mean https is suddenly a private way to pirate. It's really not that complicated.

And just because there is some new method available doesn't mean you're retaining your privacy there either. I have a VPN to hide my IP and as far as I'm concerned that's enough 'privacy' to avoid any issues.

What's the worst that'll happen, my ISP sends me a letter telling me to knock it off? You're acting like this is some sort of top secret black ops mission in need of complete secrecy.

It's not even prosecuted where I live. So I couldn't care less if it's clearnet or whether my IP address is public.

I wonder if someone in Somalia is worried about “getting caught” or if piracy out in the open works fine for them
