Where we’re going, we don’t need antivirus.

Honestly that’s why i pie rate. I get to keep that file and put it in external drive, and it will never be unavailable.

Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.
Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
Let’s hope Steam gets overrun by accounting dickheads as late as possible.
Little8Lost@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Early Netflix proved it too and are currently showing us what happens when the service gets worse

Jeez that brings back some memories. I think the only scene I can remember is a bunch of people the bad guy made sit on an ice planet (?) to weave a net to cover the entire surface.

That’s some tasty pie!

But… I want to know more.

Only if you do your part.

Hey kiddo, you wanna try some piracy?
FinalRemix@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I must be “using” that page wrong. I never find shit of use, or things I do find are disorganized random directories that have 8 episodes of a Korean soap oPera in Russian.
Jacket and Qbittorrent. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, sometimes you wanna buy a thing you like. Crazy concept. We also wouldn’t have any media if everyone pirated.
Now, in the case of movies and TV, I totally pirate, and I get why people would pirate because you don’t even own them on streaming services. Never know when Amazon/Disney/HBO/Whoever is going to randomly take your show down because they don’t feel like paying for the license anymore, etc. This is exactly what happened to my mom with Funamation, it got nuked and Crunchyroll bought it, but you can’t even watch some shows anymore cause of licensing. So we pirate almost every anime now.
But when DVD was still the main way to watch, it was mostly fine because you still owned the disc, and could watch it on like any player. So buying media back then made sense.

If nobody copied, a lot of media would get lost to time.

I pirated three copies of Starship Troopes and I’ll download it again just out of pure spite.
You wouldn’t download a car
I got into 3D printing so I could pirate copy physical object.

I like supporting my creators. I don't pirate music, because Bandcamp is a thing, and I don't pirate video games because GoG is a thing. I also subscribe to Patreon and the like.
What I don't like is giving my money to shitty companies that try to tell me how I am allowed to manage/retain/consume that media.

“change plans to watch the movie”? As in, i planned to watch it, but now I won’t?
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
Lol well done.
My plan changed to “launch Kodi”.

I haven’t sailed the high seas since Limewire. I’ve got some learning to do

Welcome back me hearty!
Proton VPN & QbitTorrent are the most common tools of the trade now. finding the files can be done via standard web browser; though many use TOR browser with duckduckgo as the search engine for an additional layer of anonymity.
Hope this helps. Feel free to DM if you need any advice on setup.
P1nkman@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Or you/he could use USENET. A lot safer than the open seas, and the options are way higher, especially considering the retention period on some servers (I think it was 15 or 16 years on the one I’m on, Newshosting. Though, it does cost money
jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
There’s a solution for that…
voracitude@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
There are better solutions than literally anything that could be behind that Amazon link.

I clicked it hoping it was a Nas or other PC ready to sail the seas, I was disappointed.
jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
$15 for a 4K disc that can’t be taken away from you. Physical is the answer.

Starship.Troopers.1997.US.25th.Anniversary.DV-COYS
the superior 25th steelbook anniversary release which was regraded for dolby vision and is generally considered the definitive release. Out of print, $70-$100 online given the limited supply and the demand for the best version
They stopped printing the 25th anniversary because it was the more expensive version (steelbook) but they could’ve pressed it into the same stupid plastic case as the $15 version they keep on the market
Piracy is ethically and morally correct against hostile corporations that refuse to provide the best quality product, or provide it temporarily then remove access to only then provide a subpar product, especially when said corporations have excessive amounts of capital.
Also fuck amazon

i love having a dvd library i’m just scared they’re gonna stop producing them all together :(
FinalRemix@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
All the more reason to home onto 'em.
jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I mean, they still make vinyl for gods sake, I doubt DVD and Blu Ray are going anywhere.
Kissaki@feddit.org 4 weeks ago
Peculiar that it’s in such an old title.
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
It’s a thing
To freely distribute/ad funded distribute is a more expensive license and some media don’t offer it at all
Moonrise2473@feddit.it 5 weeks ago
Your first mistake was paying for an ad supported plan
Anyway thanks to Hollywood accounting only a few billionaires will get your money and not the people that actually worked on the movie
