Besides solid access to content piracy is also about a message, a statement about sovereignty, rights and freedoms and paying for it means the complete subversion of the ideal.
Bruh, it’s just stealing movies. You’re not taking down The Man with your sick seed ratios. This line of thinking is how people become radicalized lmao
Not really, though. If they’re ordered to turn over IPs, they’ll turn over IPs. Whether those are legit or VPN IPs is another story, but the burden placed on the instance admin doesn’t really change much.
That doesn’t help instance admins at all, though.
Buying is owning. You just didn’t buy what you thought you did.
Weird, Netflix used to compete with piracy so well that many people stopped pirating altogether, by offering a more convenient service at a reasonable price that was hard for even the most stubborn of pirates to refuse and resulted in a massive boom for its own industry. I wonder what could have changed that caused the people to leave Netflix and return to piracy. Hmm. I wonder.
To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material…
I’m Detective John Madden with the NFL, you’re under investigation.
A watch face for a smart watch.
This one guy made a really popular Android Wear watch face that mimicked the Pixel lockscreen. It only cost a few bucks, and people loved it. Due to some personal things in his life, he had to sell the app to a new developer to make ends meet. The new developer then started charging something like $7/WEEK subscription for a watchface that he didn’t even develop in the first place, and runs entirely locally on the device so it’s not like he’s maintaining any servers or anything.
Absolutely absurd.
Yeah, they’re so dedicated to user privacy that they redirected crypto URLs to their own affiliate link to profit off of.
Weird that you call the literal and metaphorical “host” the parasite in this.
You got flamed for being right.
You mean like “The Game” but for copyright?
I deleted my comment because I was not up to arguing with Rossmann’s fan club
I’m not even a huge fan of Rossmann, I was just asking you to explain what you felt he was wrong about. At no point in the thread did you ever explain why you were so vehemently claiming he has no idea what he’s talking about in this video.
it was a waste of my time
If anything, you wasted everybody else’s time by making a weird claim and refusing to explain yourself.
Edit: lmao deleted again, guess we’ll never get an answer, will we?
Could you elaborate as to what he’s wrong about?
lmao what an absolutely moronic take.
You’re okay with putting somebody out of a job because of something somebody else did?
That friend’s name? Albert Einstein.
Or you could just post piracy-related things in a piracy-focused community. This isn’t Facebook, go post your drama there.
This thread is unnecessary bullying. If you don’t like his take, then downvote him and move on with your life. Posting his username and comment in another community/instance is just poor taste and makes you seem a bit like a crybaby.
Common pirate mentality: anyone who has something I want doesn’t deserve to have it.
Shame, that one was easy enough that even my mom was able to watch her shows. Hopefully the Hydra regenerates quickly.
