    …and who the hell keeps personal computing records of anything, let alone when a particular protocol is used? “Mmm-hmm, yes, let me just write this down, February 20, 2024, 14:28 US CST, used BitTorrent to torrent all of the bits.”

      Lawyers would fight it, but it would probably boil down to “No such records exist”. But they aren’t looking for your personal records- this would be your browser history, connection logs, that sort of thing. Which means your PC(s) could be seized as evidence to extract any relevant info.

        I have never visited any of those sites and my only social media is the reddit account you have. Sorry I can’t provide logs because 1. I never did those things and 2. My browser clears all data on close. Also, BitTorrent is a legal software to use, I use it to download Linux distros. If you would like my payment and communication records with RCN, you will need to subpoena them to have the records handed over. Anymore questions, movie people?
