@pndc @davidgerard Yes I've felt the same way recently. It's very strange that suddenly the ones enforcing copyright on behalf of big companies (major publishers, labels and such) in my country - who used to focus on targeting random individuals with massive fines, that would financially ruin them for years if they won - are now actually targeting someone worse (and even bigger) than them, and for a good reason, too.
