Comment on QBittorrent breaks out of sandbox to commit crimes

That wasn’t always true. The RIAA sued many people over music downloads (via bittorent since they’re technically hosting at the same time as downloading). They only stopped once the major studios figured out it would cost less to force the ISPs to do it for them.

I remember a time when the gaming community’s darling, CDPR, sent lawyers to people’s homes, demanding they pay because they pirated The Witcher 2.
I don’t know how times have changes, but it definitely happened depending on when and where you lived.
