  • I think the decision itself highlights the dichotomy between the EU’s push for the right of digital privacy for citizens of its constituent nations when using products and services and the EU’s push to have unrestricted insight into the digital lives of those same citizens.

    You can’t have digital privacy from select third parties only, it’s an all or nothing thing. If you don’t want your citizens to be tracked and their browsing data sold, don’t allow websites or ISPs to track that data. If you don’t want that data to be sold, but you want it tracked and accessible to the government then call it a right to not be monetized, not a right to privacy.

    I agree that the article itself is pretty duplicitous as well. None of rhetoric direct sources they quoted seemed to have anything to do with piracy.

    Out of curiosity, is copyright infringement a civil matter instead of a criminal matter in all EU member states? I only ask because I thought there were some EU member states where copyright infringement was explicitly not a legal violation, civil, criminal, or otherwise.




  • I mean you do you, but there’s always a trade off with these types of things (usually security at the expense of usability), so most people would be better served by taking stock of their activities, the risk caused by those activities, then mitigating that risk to an acceptable level. If acceptable to you is cruising around to mcdonald’s parking lots so you can bounce off their wifi like you’re taking the risk of ordering weight more power to you, but just know that from a risk mitigation perspective you’re implementing controls way out of line with the actual risk. Probably, depending on your local laws etc idk i’m not you.




  • I don’t torrent, just usenet. I added Paw Patrol into sonarr and have an ungodly amount of episodes of that show. The only kids show i’ve ran in to issues getting personally was some newish winnie the pooh show, but a new season dropped recently and the backlog filled in basically overnight.

    Edit - I’m missing one episode in season 5, fourteen in season 9, and twenty five from season 10. Not really sure why i’m missing so many from the more recent seasons, but with 101.9GiBs of Paw Patrol none of the parents I share my media with care when they can hit shuffle, and their four year olds definitely don’t give a fuck about which episode just dropped. Although I’m probably going to hyperfixate on this now and not sleep until i’ve grabbed everything that’s missing so thanks for that lol.







  • As @slickJujitsu@lemmy.today said, make sure to set everything up using Docker containers going forward, it makes stuff like this completely painless.

    As for your *aars, pretty sure all you have to do is create and export/download a backup in the web GUI, all your stuff including file history, settings, and stuff should follow. Check the documentation for each tool to verify before you do anything destructive though, it’s been a little while since I had to change hardware without everything being Dockerized.

    For Plex, read them follow this guide step by step. It’s not generally that painful of a process. I’m assuming your pirated media is not saved locally on the Windows machine, and is on a NAS, in the cloud, or on external drives? If so there’s nothing destructive about copying files and standing up a new instance, so just follow the guide and don’t delete anything from the Windows PMS instance until you’re done setting up the new Dockerized PMS on Linux. That also goes for the *aar services.

    Once everything’s Dockerized every time you update you’re effectively migrating servers, the Docker image is meant to be ephemeral. All the config folders, temp folders, media folders, log folders, etc., are mapped to permanent folders on the host that can just be attached to whatever new host you want to use.

    One thing I will add is don’t map specific media library folders to your PMS Docker image, like /movies, /tv, /music, etc. Instead, make an inclusive /media folder, nest the Library folders in there, then pass that inclusive /media folder to the PMS Docker image. This way you don’t have to edit your compose yaml file each time you want to add a new Library, you just create the new folder, add the content, and map the Library in the PMS GUI.





  • You’re right, it’s not a perfect analogy. I was more pushing back against the supposition that the depravation of a potential sale equates to theft.

    That said, media that is pirated comes from somewhere. Many times that content is ripped from streaming providers directly, which means someone has paid for the content initially. Other times the content is ripped off a blu-ray, which also means someone has paid for the content already. Cam recordings require someone to pay for a ticket (or someone to work at a theater but at that point we’re getting in to semantics).

    At this point I’ve completely lost the context of what we’re even discussing here. Oh, right. OP said piracy isn’t stealing. Stealing/theft/larceny requires real property to be taken from its owner. Digital piracy does not meet that definition, full stop. OP is technically correct. Is it copyright infringement? Sure. Is that moral? Idk, I can’t dictate your morals but I don’t have any moral objection to it myself.
