Must be difficult to live in a country where you think 49% of the people there are so dangerous.
At least 49%. I'd say that about 25% near the center are OK, but 75% of the people outside that center are batshit crazy on some important issue or another.
It's extraordinarily difficult thinking that a majority of the people are an honest, open conversation away from making a scene.
Trump supporters tend to hang out in the /modlog community. Try there first.
HR is there to protect the company from the lawsuit you're going to file if they don't unfuck themselves.
You can't purchase a belief. You can only purchase a claim. They can't buy their kid's sexuality, but you don't have to be straight to claim heterosexuality.
Neither of the two acts is a "wrong" in any legal sense, so any concept of "fraud" is off the table. There is no established set of relevant shared standards or expectations adopted by the affected individuals, so ethicality is also off the table. That just leaves morality to determine right from wrong, and morality is personally subjective: it's only a moral "wrong" if the individual perceives it to be a wrong.
Aside from situations where legally or ethically compelled to speak the truth, I think that deceiving bigots is a moral imperative. They should be lied to everywhere it is legal and ethical to lie to them.
They want to pay me to lie to them? That's a win for everyone involved.
I think you protest too much.
I've never seen Android Auto work worth a shit. I use a charge-only USB cable to prevent my phone from trying to connect. The only use I have for the infotainment system is as a smooth flat surface on which to attach an adhesive phone mount.
Brown chicken brown cow.
What are you even on about? One person could conceivably add CSAM to a torrent that you eventually download, and you could find yourself subject to a criminal investigation.
I've gone my entire adult life downloading copyrighted material without using a VPN
"I've been fucking multiple partners weekly my entire adult life. without protection, and I haven't gotten AIDS yet." <--- That's you. That's what you sound like.
You are giving your ISP every thing that a rightsholder needs to harass you, with your understanding that laws and corporate policies currently protect you from that harassment. But you ignore that those policies can be changed, and those changes can apply to data you've previously given to your ISP. When rightsholders start arguing "think of the children" and pointing at such torrents, that's the kind of thing that gets laws and policies changed.
Why give them the information in the first place? Why not keep that information away from your ISP? Why trust them to do the right thing when you can easily deny them the ability to do wrong?
That level of paranoia is a waste of energy.
I know I am paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?
Identifying and evaluating vulnerabilities is a critical component of any security plan. In a good one, any vulnerabilities will be well outside the scope of feasibility.
Why would some Hollywood studio plant CSAM in a torrent?
To cast FUD on piracy in general. To inextricably link "pirate" with "pedophile" in the mind of the general public. To convince the general public to treat copyright infringement as criminal rather than a civil matter.
That would implicate them as well.
They hire or extort someone to initially seed from some third world ISPs, and the swarm takes over from there. It never gets traced back to them.
It would cost them far more in legal fees to come after me than to just leave it alone.
You aren't the objective, just the means. The purpose is to make piracy a truly objectionable practice in the eyes of the public.
None of this is a likely threat, but is any of it completely outside the realm of feasibility?
You don't have any justification to be that condescending. Your security practices are reliant on the law, and the law is not a factor under your direct control. It has changed without your input before, and it will change without your input in the future. Meanwhile, your ISP is building a record of your non-compliance that it can provide to rightsholders just as soon as it likes.
Good security practice minimizes reliance on factors outside your control. You can't control whether your ISP has your personally identifiable information, but you can deny them knowledge of your data transfers. You can't control whether a VPN has knowledge of your data transfers, but you can deny them knowledge of your PII.
Also it definitely would cost them if they told me "we have not responded to this notice from the rightsholder" and then turned around and did exactly that. That would be a flat out lie to their client.
As of the time of their letter, they had not responded to that notice. They could respond tomorrow without ever having lied to you. You would not have grounds to sue.
Just out of curiosity, will your Canadian ISP and your (current) Canadian laws protect you when a rightsholder portrays you as a pedophile instead of a pirate? If they anonymously publish a torrent containing their movie and some hidden CSAM, are you fucked?
What incentive do they have to actually follow through on that claim?
I pay my ISP $600/yr. If a third party with a bug up their ass creates $601 worth of trouble for my ISP, why wouldn't they throw me under the bus?
No ISP is deserving of the kind of trust you describe. It costs them nothing to put those words in a letter.
I don't particularly trust a VPN provider either, for much the same reason. But, the VPN provider wants to know as little about me as possible, while the ISP needs to know everything.
The answer to OP's question gets pretty obvious when you ask a different question: how can I ethically donate my corpse to some guy who wants to fuck my eye sockets? What do I have to do to ensure my wishes are upheld?
What if I want my children to take possession of my corpse? It's not a part of my estate; creditors can't take it from them. Once the probate process has been completed and my estate is completely disbursed, they can auction my corpse to the highest bidder, and keep the proceeds that would have otherwise gone to some filthy fucking financier.
Scientists and medical practitioners aren't the only people who might want a human skull, nor should they be the only ones with access. An actor may wish to continue performing on stage as Yorick after their death, for example.
Whatever means available for me to monetize my corpse after my death would be an answer to OP's question.
