All the more reason to use a vpn even for casual browsing I guess. Never know when someone wants to overstep and turn the most trivial thing against you. Even if this is the case now that its been denied, what’s to stop this happening elsewhere or at another time? The fact it’s been tried once means it will be tried again. No thanks to that.

I have to think that even if something went to court there is 0 connection to me saying “I pirated xyz” and being able to connect that to real life.

Nothing that is said on Reddit or Lemmy is sworn on a bible true true true.
