Like the stupid newbie goober I am, I forgot the first step to downloading music: do it in a public setting with a public wifi. Ended up downloading it all at home off of our private wifi. Did use a VPN but forgot to switch it from my home country. Kind of wondering how easy it is to trace me and persecute me for this. I am not the one handling the ordeal with the wifi, that would be my lovely mother.
Cheers y’all!
Now this is some horrible advice. Bravo
He said he was using mullvad in Sweden, not north Korea where there’s the death penalty for listening k-pop
In order to identify a no log VPN user someone without limits like the secret services would need to triangulate the logs of millions of other services and see something like “at 11:23:42.052 the ISP recorded that subscriber #4332822 sent a request to the IP address of the VPN server and at the same time a login to musicpirate@gmail.com is made from that VPN server”
It’s very unlikely that is going to happen for something that’s not even a real crime
Okay, maybe I read you wrong. I agree that nobody will try to acquire details through mullvad to prosecute this.
I read the comment like downloading music is so irrelevant, you could skip the VPN, which I would disagree with.
I once downloaded an album I had already pre-ordered, but didn’t want to wait, no VPN. Got a letter from a media lawyer within the month. Felt pretty stupid.
