Yeah the fear mongering works. I was getting cease and dissits, BT traffic blocked, etc when I was using to get public domain content back in 2000 something. Now every that does it talks about how to do it safely. Use a VPS in a non-five eyes country with Tor enabled and logging disabled, download to your tails desktop and sneaker net to main machine, from there use media server to host it in your network, blah blah blah
Or use duck duck go and click through a dozen links and stream it.
Heck even peertube users get flak from governments because it could be seen as “redistribution”.
P2P is almost always a better for user technology, but centralization is favored by governments for control and corporations for rent seeking.
