Really sad to hear this. I basically built my entire Plex server with RARBG.

Anyone have any solid private tracker recommendations for movies and TV shows?

After taking advantage of public trackers like RARBG, I feel like it's my time to give back.

What a shame. They could have asked for donations but me as an Eastern European, I get it -- usually if we get to the point of needing donations we feel ashamed and humiliated and just close shop. I hope somebody picks up the flag. Illegal and copyright-protected piracy aside, there were tons of royalty-free and non-copyright-enforced works of art there and it would be a big hit on humanity's culture at large for all…

There’s also a problem for pirate sites specifically that if they accept donations then this fact can be used later on in a trial, where the plaintiff party may use this as evidence that the pirate site is being run for profit, and which in turn may lead to higher fines, more jail time, etc, for the defendants.

Probably the largest blow to the torrent sharing community since The Pirate Bay got shut down. The impact of content availability will be noticeable for years to come

When did TPB get shut down? I somehow missed that piece of news

It didn't. Even the classic .org domain still works. However it is blocked by some ISPs, which may lead some people to think it has been shut down.

I recommend registering on some usenet indexer instead.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They still don't quite care though. For example in western Europe it's quite common to get threatening letters as soon as you start torrenting without VPN. In eastern europe this is not happening. Perhaps because copyright infringement is not really a criminal issue but more of a civil law one. Without a private party starting lawsuits on behalf of the copyright owners there is nothing happening. It could be they don…

Never had any threatening letters in NL, so perhaps this varies by country.

Same in Sweden.
