Because clearnet serves most of us just fine.
No it doesn't, because that's how you get caught
It's not even prosecuted where I live. So I couldn't care less if it's clearnet or whether my IP address is public.
I've been doing it for 20 years and have never been caught. I've never even heard of i2p until here just a couple of weeks ago. The fact that certain people are pushing it so hard and referring to standard methods in such a derogatory way makes me highly skeptical of trying it out.
Just because you haven't been caught doesn't mean https is suddenly a private way to pirate. It's really not that complicated.
And just because there is some new method available doesn't mean you're retaining your privacy there either. I have a VPN to hide my IP and as far as I'm concerned that's enough 'privacy' to avoid any issues.
What's the worst that'll happen, my ISP sends me a letter telling me to knock it off? You're acting like this is some sort of top secret black ops mission in need of complete secrecy.
I wonder if someone in Somalia is worried about “getting caught” or if piracy out in the open works fine for them
