Disappointing, Germany. How can we trust you to find the best pirate sites when not even thepiratebay.org is on the list?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

usage of public torrent tracker in germany is almost non-existent
the fear of getting sued by copyright laywers is pretty high

After a quick butchers at the list, I think they are going after streaming sites rather than torrent sites per se.

They don't block torrents because they like to watch people connect to the nodes and then sue them.

It's always better to use onion routing.

The ones that monitor torrent to sue people are lawyer firms, not the government.

The government is also not blocking any sites. Only like 5 ISPs are in the CUII. Many people are not even affected

Nah, stick to VPNs. Don't overload Tor with pirate media. Tor network isn't meant for large data transfers like that.

I2P could be a suitable alternative for this. Although it is rather slow it still works and you dont have to worry about beeing exposed

Pretty much like the original reason why napster has been created. It could resume downloads which in the times of early internet explorer wasn't that guaranteed

I think the list mostly contains german piracy websites like kino is german for cinema
