I honestly think they only chase small fry, if given enough friction because one is rich, powerful or connected that they would walk away from it. Basically only going after low-hanging fruit.
Hey Nintendo, I'm never buying anything you make ever again. I'll actively discourage others, too.
shaking your fist in anger at the moon
I occasionally read about piracy groups, console hackers, but I never seem to find where they hang out.
It used to be IRC mainly. Efnet, later Linknet or similar. Often involved the group maintaining their own server linked to the network (preferably hosted by an admin of a big university). The server not only made sure that only encrypted connections were allowed (hi Blowfish), but also that clients authorized to use it automatically received a spoofed IP/hostname (something childish like @i.am.too.leet.for.paradox.org) to hide ones true location.
They're engaged in criminal activity, so secrecy about where they hang out is kind of the point.
Discord groups, and to a much lesser amount, places like gbatemp
Sure. Hang on a platform that logs everything to hell and back and can be disclosed at the drop of a hat. Nope.
Discord will probably get you next to some script kiddies but i doubt anyone serious is on there.
I'm surprised they aren't moving to Matrix, privacy-wise.
If you have to ask...
A piece of fatalistic Irish wisdom may help you here: if it's for you it won't pass you by.
Or go to Lefty's and say that Ken sent you.

Feels like it's an invite only based club. If you have enough street cred, you'll get invited to join.
If the US goes to this much effort for this small fry, they ain't gonna stop harassing for Assange in any circumstance.
Whatever it is that determines what's "acceptable" and what's "pursue to the ends of the earth" in the US is a basket case.
There must be more at play than what the article says, must be.
