Real-Debrid, a popular streaming and download service, has started returning copyright-infringement errors on many cached torrents. The renewed crackdown began days after a corporate restructuring. A third-party source says that long-time subscribers have lost 50 to 70 percent of their libraries overnight, with the filter targeting popular keywords such as WEB-DL, AMZN, and [RARBG].

The main reason in this case, is because I live in Germany, so I'll be fucking executed, if I get caught pirating.

I already payed a thousand euros a few years ago when I was caught seedimg "Her" (I forgot to turn on my VPN). That's when I decided to never do anything risky again, so I got a debrid service. That's fine, because no actual seeding is now happening through my ip.

    The debrid services do the torrenting, you only download from cache. So debrid services are safe in Germany. I'd still look into Usenet though. It costs more but is super fast and very safe.
