It doesn't say anywhere that he's seeding pirated media. Seeding is not illegal.
Hey, I clearly stated that I was uploading Linux ISOs and research papers! I never said anything about pirated media!
spoiler
In all seriousness though, in hindsight I probably should have used an alt account to post this. If my home instance becomes compromised, I could end up in hot water...Aww yiss hot tub stream
Do you really think someone out there is going to see a random post where a guy says he has uploaded a bunch of.. something and decide to try to investigate to find out what?
That's not how it works. Even if he had included actual torrent names in the screenshot, the chances of someone caring enough to pursue it are infinitesimal.
Subpoenaed for what, IP addresses? Then assuming he's using private trackers (hopefully he is) or a seedbox then they don't find him in any public swarms and that's the end of that lol
