I would use a performant server which is recommended in the FAQ of your VPN provider. Optionally outside of your countries jurisdiction, but not really required, if it’s just copyright infringement.

Regarding copyright infringement :

Law firms specialized in mass cease and decist letter dispatching do the low effort approach. Like Waldorf and Frommer in Germany - now Frommer only. What happened to you Mr. Waldorf? Their approach is: Get an IP. Look up the user address. Send the threatening form letter. Collect the money and cease and decist declaration. Rarely they will go to court.

And I doubt they spend much effort to find out who you are if the IP/ traffic is slightly obfuscated by a VPN provider - regardless of the exit node. It doesn’t hurt to use a server that is outside of your countries executive sphere of influence but I doubt it makes a difference for the above mentioned law firms.

There would be means to detect what you do with the VPN tunnel - secret services and police do that by analyzing bandwidth usage and active connections on the exit node. But those authorities don’t care about copyright infringement on the most recent how I met your mother flick. It’s the media companies and they don’t care about justice but to deter as many people from infringement as possible with not too much cost and effort. They would like to get rid of VPN providers and they are working on it, which shows that VPNs are effective.

To be fair. My knowledge is dated and might be incorrect. AI and all…

Lie down, legs over armrest.

How much is that in metric units?

Opinion: If a service doesn’t want you, stop using it and look for alternatives. Maybe it is for your own good.

The EFF has an informative page about tracking and fingerprinting: https://firstpartysimulator.net/

Right now you are like Obelix. You need to find out how Reddit sees through your disguise and become more skillful.

Spider web microphones. Or antennas. Someone should build one. Someone competent in the area. :)

Some scorpions can drop their tail if in danger. But afterwards they can’t poop anymore and die of constipation months later.

I didn’t. Luckily for me the local public infrastructure allowed me to get around without one.

Do you mean NATO (defense operations if one member is attacked)? Wars started by a NATO member? Unofficial proxy war support?

Depends on the individual’s live goals. When you aim to surpass Musk in wealth, yes. With other ambitions Musk can be considered poor and you’d be running in the wrong direction if you chase after what he got.

Is it the one with hard coded cyrillic letters for english writing? That would give a hint about its origin.

Fetching the line audio from somewhere else could be much easier than the picture. Plus not all channels contain speech… so english 2ch could be sufficient if you got the other channels… elsewhere.

TLDR :no idea. :)

That’s a very interesting POV on exploitation rights Religious law’s point of view instead of a state law. I respect that you try to follow your moral compass. I can’t give you an answer though.

Since it isn’t technically stealing (taking away a thing) but harming the creator by not buying licenses from him it gets complicated. Nice take on the book pirating - pay the creator as soon as you can.

Do you know how seeding in a p2p network is assessed? When you download a book which you intend to pay for later (halal), someone gives you bandwidth under the assumption that you seed it back. But is it allowed? You can’t know if the leecher uses it in a halal way. Is not seeding haram? Is seeding haram?

Gray I say.

Cropped it for you.

Lain. Nice.

Which axis? How are the maxima defined on both ends?

But what is their motivation to buy servers and rent bandwidth if they already got the money but can’t expect another payment?

Death of the universe? No, more like the end of civilization if things around us change too much too fast.
