I mean, that's not great, but it's also not very concerning to me. Like the risk of someone doing that, and the potential harm resulting seems minimal to me.

    The problem is that every single person uses the Trash Guide to set up their system. And the guide includes instructions on how to set up your file names.

    You’re correct that in isolation the risk is minimal. But nearly every setup is using the trash guide’s suggested naming scheme, which makes guessing it dead simple.

    I'm not familiar with the trash guide. I set mine up with swizzin community edition.

    Edit: either way though, what is the real risk? Someone streams your media without your permission?

    I am outraged that someone would commit piracy on my pirated content!

    Honestly, if someone is going through all that trouble then they've earned it... and it saves me the effort of needing to create them an account.
