It’s a realistic fear. I almost caught charges once, when I was younger and more reckless about downloading, but I settled it beforehand.
Then I took a long break from torrenting, did the paid streaming thing, learned more about digital security, and eventually found myself sailing the high seas yet again.
I don’t know if my legal knowledge is outdated, but wasn’t one of the outcomes of the whole bajillion-dollar lawsuit days a system where first you get a letter, then a small fine, and then a bigger fine before they really start holding you upside-down by the ankles and grabbing whatever falls out of your pockets?
I’m about to turn into such a data hoarder
Looks like an 18 TB hard drive is like 200 bucks and 18 TB can hold a lot

I dont think you know what literal means
They said liberal, not literal.
Me going around calling everyone a knave because my literary brainworms are going through a Chaucer phase
Most people don’t care to. People want the easy way, and don’t consider options off the beaten path.

What kind of mp3 player would you suggest?

You can pick up an ipod classic for under 50 bucks, then a battery and an sd card adapter if you’re good with your hands to refresh it.

100% but I’m looking to hoard knowledge like development / programming and skill sets before everything is hidden behind paywalls.
