I’m wanting to get some Anime through XDCC, since I’m not the one who manages my ISP, I don’t want any DMCAs routed to my room-mate. So can I safely Pirate via IRC without any DMCAs coming my friends way?
Thanks.
P.S. I’m not doing this behind my room-mates back, he knows, I’m just making sure I’m not routing my shit his way.
If downloading copyrighted material is legal in your jurisdiction, sure. XDCC is a low priority target compared to scene groups, streaming websites and private trackers.
I remember having access to shell accounts @ an ISP that was on an OC-48 backbone back when dialup Internet was just starting to hit mainstream. Hosted so many things in #exceed (and it’s predecessor that I forget the name of now) and #OldWarez
Unlikely. It’s basically just direct downloading so unless there server you’re connecting to is a honeypot, the only people who would know what you’re doing are yourself and the person distributing. Much safer than torrenting.
Oh I don’t think they really exist. Nobody cares about IRC. It was more theoretical than anything worth being concerned over. Apologies, I would have been more clear.

As an old salty dog, I just wanna say it warms my cold heart that DCC is still thriving after all this time.
This was some serious nostalgia flashbacks.

We don’t have that problem in Slovakia XD. Here you can pretty much do anything without a VPN and never be punished

How should I avoid said Honeypots? I’ll be connecting to Rizon if that helps.
