So you will not know you are being investigated until a court order is served and you server is shut off. Only then you will be told.

'Stichting Brein' does have similar scripts. No worries. > > If you are Pirate Bay, ok, you should worry.

They will take action based on DMCA requests by the way, they already do, on behalf of the US copyright holders. Not to frighten you, but that is how it works. Been there, seen that. And yes, it has been announced they will start crackown on the smaller targets (already started). Follow the current standard operating procedures. It has been judged that Stichting Brein WILL get names based on ip addresses by court order, no further actions needed, no further courts involved. You seem to be blissfully unaware of the 'progress' in the Dutch legal system thus far. Full blocking (ip-, name and DNS based) for ISPs for TPB. If 'Stichting Brein' determines a new ip address or name, they demand a blockade, no court order needed. I would not take the chance, and I live in The Netherlands. I don't need to. But if I would build a setup, it would be with a VPS in Switzerland. Never, ever in The Netherlands. But back on topic. This has nothing to do with OpenBSD.
