Having a darknet software that circumvents copyright restrictions won't prevent a squad of guys with guns appearing at your doorstep and taking you to a place, where you will spend several years. To prevent that, you need another solution and the answer is not technology or software.
That is why I wrote "darknet software". If the software cannot ensure anonymity, you get this kind of problem.

Sure, but until a solution appears, better create technology and software that makes civil disobedience easy.
I already do, so to me this is nothing even worth talking about. :-)
The problem rather lies, for example, in the "cultural" references that people use all the time.

I tell you: You can do what you want - they will make you a victim in any case.
In this sense I do not just ignore their movies etc., but also ignore their rights to have a right to censor (copyright), too. I am against violence, so I am against copyright, too.
Aaron Swartz (1986-2013)
He was a kind, brilliant person, barely out of childhood, and his life has come to an end.
I admire what he did and I find the way he was treated criminal and deplorable. However, Its difficult to blame developers for not wanting to go to prison and/or be harassed to death.
Who says that I do not work on such things already? (just perhaps in a somehwat different way than you might spontanously have in the back of your mind).
And the hacker scene is directly respondible for not developing darknet software with which one can circumvent these copyright restrictions.
