You have a point: Expect a few misinformed "White Knights" to come your/our way.
17 scripts from 13 third party trackers.
It's a fact, not opinion, so no need for "white knighting". It can also be argued that these trackers add features.
But they are uncontrollable by techdirt.
You can make your own opinion with the facts at hand. Don't shoot the messenger of facts.
It is a sign of willful ignorance.
After putting your comment through my patented translation software
I also read your comment as..... "please post a relevant video of Jacob Appelbaum (Tor)" amirite?
ahhh...The difference between "not knowing who you are" and "not knowing what you do".
Both require spying on you, but why would your identity be wanted for no reason, surely it is because of "knowledge of what you do" ?
Sometimes the ID they want, could just be your age range, it could be your sex, it could be type of interests you have, it may be your location or even your full details.
The two are highly related, that's why most sites are obliged to ONLY collect anonymous data of user habits, but they still end up with an ID of you, based on details that just happen to be, not personally identifiable on the surface.
Excuse for not signing up or just too Lazy ?
As for....OP not signing up, it can be rightly argued that giving your personal details out, is a privacy issue.
BUT, who would give out their real info ? I just think it is laziness.... couldn't be bothered.. guerrillamail for a temp email address.
Make up a name, password etc... TOR when signing up
Laziness, it has to be. He can still sign up and keep relative privacy and anonymity
BTW... when I say anonymity, I do not mean ALL your personal details, ip / home address / bank account balance etc... Your personal details can be..... the types of fonts your browser uses, the sites you visit, the comments you post, your preferences in food etc..
It is the level of privacy that states your level of anonymity
OT. but relevant.

First... you really want to escalate this into a flame war ?
I tried to be reasonable... without insulting you or calling you names.
( I did as a joke say "you must be a closeted homo-pirate.")
That was clearly a joke, offensive to closet's, who shouldn't have to put up with homo-pirates being stuck inside them, for years, being too scared to leave because people might see their true nature.
Point a finger at me... there is three pointing back at you
a. I don't know your backstory, so don't know about anyone "attacking you".
b. This* "idiot" is not "attacking you" now.
(btw... calling people "idiot"... an attack ? OR disagreeing with you ? )
c. Are you trying to create a self fulfilling prophecy ?
( I will not bite, you are not my victim, never where, and you wont play me to it )
d. Yes you are right (in a way) , but I didn't ignore the "substance" of your comment, I agreed 80%. I didn't say it. It was the other 20% I disagreed with, I said it.
e. I disagree that it is irrelevant. You called people "idiots" and "moronic".
Believe me... I hold no personal grudge or distain for you, or even your opinion. It all should be up for debate.
YOU verbally attacked people for NO valid reason ! Accuse me of the same for calling you out on it !
Accept it... you are not a victim, you are the aggressor.
When called out (via a joke) , you play the victim....boo hoo
I will take no further part in this...stupid flame.
I take back all my attempts of rational discussion and consolidation of our differences into an agreeable "agree to disagree".
I reinstate my original joke.
You must be a pirate, you protest too much.

OT...my #1 issue===Music Remix Copyright
No, of course that is not wrong.
protecting yourself is essential
I don't know your personal circumstances, you could work for an anti-piracy company ( a valid reason to never been seen as supporting piracy then )
But...
I don't care if you do, I believe there is NO shame in thinking that copyright law needs to be drastically reduced and changed in area's, to reflect the age we live in.
You shouldn't have to feel insecure about appearing to be pro-piracy, especially when the topic is a mans life in threat of "removal of freedom".
preemptive attacks are not
You made a couple of great points about the fairness of this situation, yet you where so afraid of it appearing as Pro-Piracy, you started an unwarranted argument, preemptively against any "idiot" that has ANY pro-piracy beliefs.
There was no need for the preemptive argument.
I responded to your argument. Is that wrong?
Finally, push it onto me because of my avatar, username( which was given to me, not chosen), your hatred of pro-piracy, the smell of my breath...whatever.
But remember the facts.... You started the topic of argument because of your insecurity.
I hope one day, you do not have to feel insecure when speaking your mind.
Honestly. I do mean that. Even as I probably disagree with you in substance.
How else can we have a rational "argument" ("debate" is a better word), about a copyright that works for everyone, society and artists, not just the monopoly holders at the expense of everyone else ?

i know...
People shouldn't really take most of the things I say seriously, or anyone on the internet for that matter.
I try not to push it too far tho...The internet can be serious fucking business.
//start rant//
I also would never dick-troll people, like those sick fucks that have zero empathy and regard for people.
Since when was being cheeky, abusive, threatening etc.. funny. ( a joke without a punchline or just plain bullying )
Malicious trolls are dicks IRL and online too.
//end rant//
Sarcasm, twisted logic and parody.. "funny stuff", if the definition fits to your tastes, is what this* persona is about. You are right... people shouldn't take it seriously.

my turn: I protest too much
Actually genuine and I never originally brought it up(imagined it).
I think most forms of "piracy" are NOTHING to be afraid of and I support it.
"idiots :you'll note that the above is a criticism of the lack of legal fairness, not a support of piracy. "
"Keep your moronic goalpost moving to yourselves"
Sounds like someone is afraid to be called a "supporter of piracy".
Whats not to get ?
MY TURN: (to prove the point)
So idiots.. that comment was in no way supporting gay people.
Keep your moronic, ever changing "I am pro-gay" comments to yourself.
I was helping that man fix his belt in the public toilet, my hands where full and I fell onto him.
I AM NOT GAY FFS... I chose not to be gay, I deny myself the desires I have.
Facepalm: Did I just protest too much.
People will think I am Gay.
