Hi Guys,
I have been doing research on uploading and posting files and I have a few questions about security.
In most countries uploading copyright material is considered illegal. What steps are uploaders taking to reduce the risk of getting busted?
This just doesn't seem like a safe hobby to jump into unless you know what you are doing.
Questions
1. How do you purchase an account from a filehost and receive payments from them without giving away your identity? If they get busted ala MegaUpload .. the feds would have all your information + all the evidence ( Ip address combined with stored files ) they need to charge you.
2. How do you conceal your identity when you post files on sites ?
3. How do you pay for VPS and RDP ? Can you use a proxy so that the VPS or RPD do not know who you are?
4. I see soo many people requesting & making payments via paypal...this can't be safe? Is nobody worried or concerned about getting caught? I read about little old ladies getting fined thousands of dollars for downloading a few hundred songs and yet i read about uploaders posting 20-30gigs of files per day and rarely ever read about them getting busted.
Anyway, I would love to jump into this hobby but am not prepared to risk everything I have to make a few hundred dollars a week unless I know I am protected.
Looking forward to any answers any experienced members can provide.
