So my question is, whose name is on the seedbox? I've seen people say this...is it one of the special hosts that will just send you a notice and not tell the complaint filer who you are? Connecting to a VPN or proxy has been easy enough and cheaper lol.
I signed up using an anonymous email address and paid with bitcoin. I get an email from the seedbox provider when an “abuse notification” is receiving which recommends I stop the torrent. They claim no personal information is given out.
I havent used one, but thats what it seems like to me. someone sets up a server in a country that doesn't care about dmca, and you pay for them to download torrents and handle the encryption, etc.
Mine is in the Netherlands, I only use private tracker and Usenet and haven't had any issues. I also have 4TB storage so I run my Plex server off it. Great setup. No notices, or any bullshit really
