This ‘secrecy’ is not an oversight but a feature that’s codified in the agreement between rightsholders and Internet providers.

Well this setup seems perfectly secure and not at all susceptible to malicious actors.

Secrecy and bypassing court orders? It seems like illegal censorship to me.

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

[–] suzune@ani.social 23 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

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

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

[–] Txmyx 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] SoGrumpy@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago

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

[–] EddyBot@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 months ago

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

So these are blocked on a DNS Level? So just using a different DNS (like 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) will get around this „block“

[–] Tja@programming.dev 11 points 3 months ago

From the article

To address the alleged censorship part, the site also links to various options available to the public to circumvent the blocking efforts. This includes switching to third party DNS resolvers.

The webaite is well designed for a 17 year old, or at least for someone to at least attempt the cause.
