I always appreciate the memes that show up at Lemmy, but this meme reduces the amount of effort that also goes into earning some merit badges. I think it’s funny but kind of tone deaf.

So… when I want to control content I’m consuming, I get the .mp3 or .pdf or whatever it is I’m interested in.

How is grayjay a more reliable manner of being in control of my content on cross country drives ir wherever? I’m not tracking here. Why would anyone choose grayjay over simply controlling their own drives?

I’ve got a collection of classic iPods — the ones with the clickwheel.

Yes — the files can take time to download and organize and curate but in the end — if I need a thousand hours of audio I can rely on… well, it’s easy and fail proof.

I collect actual media files — it’s easy and perfectly reliable. We’ve been doing it since 1997. Why do anything else?

I don’t really know anything about grey Jay. I just know how to create my own archives of files and use them as I please. I’m not sure why I would need any kind of app to access my files — except for the player.

You can keep the PDF and drink it with your Koolaid.

Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk?

I honestly don't believe I will have any legal trouble because I don't do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

So I finally did the math on data brokerage and worked out how much we're all being robbed

I know this isn't strictly piracy related, I apologise, but I think it is tangentally related in that piracy protects you from data theft by avoiding the services the biggest thieves operate. Also, I feel like people here might be very interested in this take....

You need to hand a twenty to a dude on the corner. That’s privacy. We used to have it.
