Anything that is an executable on PC (software / games) due to security risk. Game ROMs for emulators are fine.

I don’t know, I have never downloaded porn that isn’t porn.

They might have. Last post in their announcement community regarding downtime is this one.

Same here. They also had issues with downtime around same time.

Maybe not false advertising, guess it’s true that only commercial products could be called that. Misleading then, bad marketing (probably also only for commercial things so not really), I don’t know how to call it.

Just a weird choice, that’s all. Same if you would add Metallica album if you showcase some hobby project meant to host royality free music :)

What entitlement? I am just saying it’s weird that you would add games with DRM in mockup for a project that’s about DRM-free games. Gay porn or any porn for that matter would also not fit in DRM-free game category.

I would call it more like false advertising. Showing a screen that in theory is not possible unless you pirate or just make mockups.

Not a cinema guy, but assuming those movies are encrypted with modern standards, it is practically impossible if you simply would steal the media. Could be done if you could tap into the original playback device where movie plays and pull decrypted copy out of it.

Edit: As per this AES 128 is used so good luck if you ever stumble upon an encrypted copy.

Not familiar with cinema projectors, but as I have gatherered from this forum problem is caused by KDM (used to decrypt movie) provider / reseller called Deluxe. Neither Sony or this cinema chain is at fault and problem indeed seems worldwide.

I do know that if our servers lose power and the CMOS battery goes dead, they will internally destroy themselves and never function again. This is to prevent piracy I assume.

Find it very hard to believe to be honest. Could this be simply some rumour from colleagues? Doubt any vendor would implement anything like this, drives could be simply encrypted to protect data if they ever get stolen.

Can’t comment on FLAC quality / availability to be honest because I download only 320 kbps MP3. I just know there is a quality setting for it.

Slightly weird choice to post that in official project site when FAQ mentions piracy is not endorsed :)

Kind of surprised although at least now looks like only 1st one is available

While Soulseek is a great option, would recommend Deemix as the primary download method unless Deezer hosted album is some very bad remaster and you need to hunt down older release. You either need a premium account or find something called “ARL cookie” to download above 128 kbps MP3.

Assassin’s Creed is free of DRM?

My only reason besides stuff being free is that I want my music library offline. There are some services like Bandcamp that offer it, but it would not cover a meaningful percentage of all my library. Not gonna buy and rip CDs myself as well

For most it’s a CV hosting platform and nothing else.

I recently looked into Buffy the Vampire slayer rips and there is a fan made AI upscaled version that seemed like currently the best option besides original DVDs.

If you plan to not use cable and consume everything over internet, forget about OS and just choose TV based on screen/budget and then use some streaming system. All TV OSes are crap from what I have read, there isn’t a single good one, they usually are slow + manufacturer eventually will stop updating it.

I have tried Chromecast and it was pretty good. I guess Android TV would work same way so if you cannot decide between 2 TVs and one of them is Android TV, pick that one.

If you already have or plan to have a media server, check if it has a native app you could install on your OS of choice. Jellyfin for example is on Android TV.

I just switched to qBittorrent and used built-in search to find rarbg rips.
