I haven't I would but I don't want a letter from the FBI, I used to pirate all kinds of shit, the last movie I pirated was Black Mass, I got a letter from the FBI, I haven't done anything since.
I would like more info on that.....were you just downloading and watching it or was there more to it?
I was just downloading and watching. It was before Black Mass was even released at the movies. It was a screener, the type that is sent out to people in the academy who vote and critics and things like that. Downloaded and next thing I know my ISP had my browser auto load this warning site, I couldn't get to any other site until I answered some questions and days later I got a letter from the FBI saying my IP was used to illegally download protected intellectual property. Needless to say it scared the shit out of me and I haven't done anything like that since.
They don't truly work. Onion isn't safe you need both a VPN and an onion like site and even then you are at the mercy of the VPN service. So there is no real way to 100 percent hide your IP.
I don't think firesticks are an issue yet. You are basically streaming a movie with those correct? I know it's still illegal but I don't think the Feds chase people who stream down.
