If they invested this much efforts in going after rapists immigrants, that money would be well spent!

Brein is not part of the government.

Yeah, still they get funded from governments and big corporations

Noosfeer appears to be an archiving/rehosting service provider.
I encourage you not to archive/rehost TorrentFreak in the future.
They do good work and deserve our traffic.
Here's a direct link if you want to support them:

Well they are doing this thing where they plant a seeder in popular torrents that just monitors the IP addresses currenting torrenting using that torrent. Which means using things such as popcorn time could make you pop up on their radar and if you pop up frequently enough they can get to you in a personal level. But company wise i guess their software is also just an observation thing. That just scans pages.

What is your opinion on software? Personally, I wish all major companies had free "student" editions. No way in hell would I pay $500-$5,000 for a full software package of something I'm only learning to use. Either I'll download a cracked version, or I'll switch to a different package that is free and open source.

I tend to use open source alternatives. I have in the past used pirated versions but not so much really anymore. I haven't found it necessary. I do like to support smaller devs. I have pirated games but usually end up buying the game when I realize I enjoy the product and feel the need to make a contribution. I know its not necessary but I just tend to feel obligated to support something I really love. Example: Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. I played the pirated version for awhile. Which resulted in me making a purchase. But yeah. I'm not about to lay down a few hundred bucks on a piece of software.
Edit: I have 181 games in my steam library. And I gift games to friends randomly when the price is right.
