This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Depends on where you are. Don't try that in Germany, you'll get a hefty fine.
A fine for pirating? How awful.
Yeah, we just get a notice from the ISP, if that.
A friend who lives both in the Netherlands and Germany forgot to turn off his torrent client on his laptop. A movie finished downloading when he arrived in Germany, he got a fine of €1500. I don't understand why anyone would use torrents. Since I told him about usenet he's never had an issue. But it might be that he has a VPN now too, but I'm not sure about it.
