I cannot find information anywhere. Sorry, English is my second language.

I possess a DVD and want to upload this as a torrent so others can download it.

I burn the media to my Linux PC using a media ripper. I use Handbrake to convert the media and small the file size.

I can create a torrent. But how do I insure none of my computer's personal information and identifiers are saved on that file? I dont want me to be found out if someone opens the file and somehow can see I'm the one who created it.

In other hand, how do the pirates create and upload media into torrents while protecting themself from being found out?

Use open source software that doesnt try to spy on you

There is no reason why these files should contain PII (personal identifiable information), but on Windows and with proprietary software you never know

What I know

  • MakeMKV adds metadata that the file was created with it. Nothing bad tho

    Sorry, I mean I am on Linux for this specific computer. I try on LInux because I'm worried with Windows, but don't know.
