I've never torrented anything, not even once. I always pay for things legitimately...no matter how hard it is to keep track of everything you're paying for or how expensive it gets to pay the same movies again and again when the billion dollar corporations randomly decide I don't own something I paid for all of a sudden. I never pirate anything.

You should only use good VPNs that are lying about their no-logs policies like Nord, Express, Private internet access and surfshark. Never TorGuard or Mullvad. TorGuard and Mullvad actually had to prove in court that they don't record their users. So they're bad and immoral for not being cucks for the establishment.

Definitely don't get torguard's proxy service to go with torguard. And definitely don't use torguard's proxy service inside of your torrenting client.

Like I said I've never pirated anything in my entire life and I never will.

That's a great idea to have these comments for the posterity.
To my lawyer in the future :

"Everything I could have wrote in reddit about pirating was a lie to get upvotes. Don't take any of it seriously."

Everything I ever wrote about me pirating anything was also a lie to get upvotes! A higher Karma score on reddit means a higher standing. Which is why I always lied about having pirated things.

Now here comes the truth. I've never pirated anything, that would be wrong and immoral!

Back in the day, our collective friend SWIM took the rap for everything. Nobody ever did anything illegal, SWIM did.

Let the logs state that I declare I have never been a pirate a day in my life, I don't own a boat nor do I know what torrenting is

Torrenting? Like a torrent of hellfire?! Which is where you'll go if you pirate anything made by a multi-hundred-billion dollar corporation?

How are the executives at AT&T, Comcast, Disney and Viacom supposed to pay for their diamond-dusted lambos if we pirate things?!

Did you know that AT&T bought time warner? How is AT&T supposed to pay off that purchase if a tiny percentage of their products are pirated?!

I only ever claimed I pirated things to fit in...peer pressure! LOOK IT UP!

Don't forget not using ProtonVPN is another viable alternative to not using good VPNs.

I definitely should never use Torguard or Mullvad. These horrible VPN's will never protect me because I definitely don't pirate.

I pirate shit every day.

Fuck copyright laws and anyone who wants to dare enforce them on me.
