SCI-HUB NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Do you have a few dozen gigabytes of free diskspace and a machine that can seed it via #bittorrent?
You can help save an unbelievable trough of scientific knowledge from disappearing behind the elites' paywalls!

Spread the word and seed till you bleed β for the betterment of humanity!
@phryk @schmittlauch Is it possible to route torrent traffic through the tor network to obscure my identity? Or is a vpn the only solution to stay safe while seeding?
@quinn I think it can be used to hide *part* of the traffic (apparently not the DHT metadata stuff, tho) so I'm not sure it'd give you any real anonymity even if you can make it work. Additionally it's considered bad form to put this kind of strain on the tor network.
@phryk @quinn @schmittlauch
Putting all torrenters in jail doesn't much makes practical sense
@schmittlauch
Yes, but if that happens, you can (to the best of my knowledge) just ignore it and see *if* they actually take it to court β otherwise it's completely toothless.
Far as I know they mostly don't because they know their chances aren't all that good.
They're betting on people being scared and just paying the ludicrous moon logic sum they demand.
@mur2501
Yes, hence my reference to major seeders β it's probably unlikely that any one individual gets jailed, but the powers that be might want to make an example of *some* of the people involved.
