    Downvotes are for your attitude on privacy.

    VPNs are not a tool for piracy, they are a tool for privacy. Everyone should have a VPN like Mullvad/Proton or use Tor/I2P if they don’t want their private Internet searches uploaded to the US government to be scanned and scrutinized at will, and possibly sold and publicized, even criminalized. That goes for non Americans too.

    Debrid is not a private solution. Privacy is expensive and inconvenient. Your ISP is the least of your worries. You absolutely should be paying for Debrid anonymously and using a VPN in front if you’re doing anything illegal, so then what’s the point? Downloading copyrighted material is illegal as well.

    Not blaming you though, Debrid is being very, very disingenuous in its marketing.

    “We may be required to disclose Users personal data in order to protect our legal rights or where disclosure of Users personal data’s are required of us by the judicial authorities only when legal procedures are followed.”

    They probably get legal disclosure requests daily. You are surely on an NSA shortlist of some kind.

      All that, plus the fact that if you’re gonna pirate, private trackers are better and safer. And in that case you need to seed. And besides, if everyone switches to debrid and nobody seeds anymore, who are you going to leech from?
