Before I blinmked I read that as "first they came for the clearnet torrents" as a riff on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came... Might be topical at this moment: First they came for the Bulletin Boards, and I did not speak out, for I had no need of gratis files. Then they came for the Usenet, and I did not speak out, for I had no need of wildly differing opinions. Then they came for the time shifters and file sharers, and I did not speak out, for I had no need of others files. Then they came for the IRC, and it still survives so still I have no need to speak out. Then they came for the world wide web, and I certainly did not speak out, for I had no need of porn. Then they came for the napster, gnutella, freenet and edonkey, and still I did not speak out, for I had no need of copyright violating culture sharers. Then they came for the clearnet torrents, and I did not speak out, for I'm busy paying my mortgage and watching footy. Then they came for the darknet, and I did not speak out, for I had no need of whistleblowing. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me.
