How can you share something so that it won't be traced back to you? (lemmy.ml)

I want to give something back to the community and I was wondering if there was any way to share a file (to pirates) so that it won't be traced back to me? What precautions should I take? Is there metadata attached to the file? How does your computer remember a modification date and date create, is it embedded into it?

I am talking about audiobooks btw, I have downloaded a ton of audiobooks and I want to send it somewhere where others can download it for free after an internet search. So yeah, I do want to make it untraceable. But for this scenario, you are free to assume that I have the nuclear codes or a new virus genome (I wonder which one is deadlier)

I'd recommend against that to be honest . They are good folks trying to protect activists and free speech and having the media titans on their door will hurt them and their users. They run on donations as far as I know . They are in no position to fight a costly lawsuit and it puts the existing users at risk too.

That being said I appreciate the contribution and you bringing awareness of the riseup collective to others.
