#4526 — No VPN on Earth Can Protect Careless Pirates

   Many people believe that by simply firing up a VPN their entire
   real-life identity can be instantly masked from outsiders. The truth is,
   however, that no amount of encryption or IP address obfuscation can save
   those who leave huge trails in their regular Internet activities.

   pirate-cardLast year, Philip Danks, a man from the West Midlands, UK,
   went into a local cinema and managed to record the movie Fast and
   Furious 6. He later uploaded that content to the Internet.

   The Federation Against Copyright Theft are no doubt extremely pleased
   with this result. After their successful private prosecution, the

The real tragedy here is that Mr. Danks is about to do hard time for a
movie that was total horsecrap.  I mean utter shite; steaming, wretched
offal; horrendous, unpardonable Hollywood assleachings.  I mean, "6"
ferchrissakes.  Because 1-5 weren't enough.

You're way too kind. The trailer made me want to gouge out my eyes with
a spoon and stuff the gelatinous remains into my ears, so Ghod knows what
the actual movie was like.
