I cannot use mobile data with ipv6, as no carrier in my country gives them out.


Tbh switzerland has a similar system to the SGAE, where there is a “hidden tax” on all devices that you can load with data. And in turn the downloading of media (with the exclusion of computerprograms and games) is legal. Only the upload of copyrighted material is forbidden.

Not a bad system imo, the tax is so small that you dont really notice it so its a pretty consumer-friendly and piracy-friendly solution. Altho I assume the swiss government gets away with it because it would be too expensive to lobby/legal for a copyrightsholder-favoured system compared with the small amount of people (let alone pirate) who live here.



I am 70% sure this is correct, i remember vaguely: The swiss law was written in 2019 iirc. The idea is that there is a high tax on drives/usb sticks/dvds and all such devices. This gets distributed to copyrightholders in some way. And uploading is illegal.



In my case I’ll use different (network)printers every few weeks for the next year or two




You werent coinceally seeding a Völkerball (the Rammstein live Tour-Movie) special edition (3 CD box)? This was the music history i was talkung about in the OP


Why are some people uploading/seeding with only single digits B/s?
I dont want to seem ungreatful, I downloaded a really rare piece of music history that way (over almost 2 weeks) and am seeding it now. But I am genuiently interested, how this happens. Surely no connection is that bad, even with vpn and up/down-limit?

I assume game ROMs, especially the ones by nintendo, who are notorious of letting their own history getting deleted and lost, are up there on that list.


What are some hidden gems and rare pieces of media? Maybe even deleted or lost on all legal distribution platforms?
What media have you found in best quality or even only with the methods of the high seas? I am not looking for: "I only use my super jellyfin and so on setup because its almost free". But rather I want to hear if you found rare pieces of media which are maybe even lost otherwise.

I am looking into setting up a home mediaserver. Any good guides?
The aim is to have a qbittorrent setup combined with a service like plex (or jellyfin?) to easily stream music, movies and TV shows to my mobile devices. Is there a comprehensive guide or list of good software and hardware one could use to accomplish such a thing? What I know/have already: - Good, paid VPN: Mullvad - Mediaserver software: Jellyfin - Torrenting software: qbittorrent - ???

Yea but that wouldn’t bring the necessary investors, right?
