Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I saw this other guy asking how you'd download protected drive only view documents. So that reminded me of that other annoying characteristic of PDFs. They're 'protected'.

How do you deal with PDFs that are inherently uncustomisable and have fixed formatting? I appreciate the KO Reader and other readers can do reflowable text, but I'd prefer not to and epubs/txt/any customisable format would be better.

Any good methods of PDF to text/epub out there?

Has anyone done this successfully? There's a button that says "download," but nothing happens. I tried a couple of free video downloading apps, and they say access denied. I can watch, but not download. (Some people post videos of classical music concerts there, then share links on a forum, in case you wondered.)

I haven't been able to login for what seems like a couple of weeks. Server IP can't be found. Changed VPN to Cyrus. Changed browsers. No luck. Does anyone know?

Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as "Ethical Piracy" and I would like to hear your concepts of it.

Basically my line is if I have the capacity of paying for something and is more convinient that pirating, ill pay. It happens to me a lot when I wanna watch a movie with my boyfriend. I like original audio, but he likes dub, so instead of scrapping through the web looking for a dub, I just select the language on the streaming platform. That is convinient to me.

In what situations do you think is not OK to pirate something? And where is 100 justified and everybody should sail the seas instead?

I would like to hear you.

It’s not that I don’t trust, but I want to understand. What is actually happening and how do these Repack thingies work?

And why are they called that 😂

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks so much for the replies all, I think I got it! :)

As much as I like radarr, lidarr has some problems radarr doesn't. Some bands nowadays do not release albums and directly release singles on YouTube or Spotify, so the albums organization doesn't work that well anymore.

On top of that, the content you find in the trackers is very heterogeneous, entire albums as a single track, discographies as zip files, different file formats, single albums... and it seems to confuse lidarr all the time so it cannot figure out what is what.

What do you use for your music collections? How do you organize them?

I would just like to share a story, and probably an opinion as well. When I was doing my STEM undergraduate degree a couple of years ago, I took a course in which I had to use MATLAB. I won't disclose too much information, but it was a course involving computation.

Well, we (the students) weren't given a student/institutional license of any sort, but the course coordinator still insisted on using MATLAB. We took it as an implicit instruction to "somehow" obtain MATLAB. In the end, one guy in our class pirated it and distributed it the whole class.

Before that though, I did approach my course coordinator, asking them if it's possible to use other software like GNU Octave, which is a clone of MATLAB. Personally I think it should also possible to use any other programming language like Python for example, since the important part is the computation part, in my opinion. They refused any discussion and did not even consider alternatives, instead basically forcing us to "obtain" MATLAB. How else? Well.

As I have said, we all pirated it in the end.

I did something quite interesting though, which is that for every quiz, assignment, and projects that we had, I'll run the same exact MATLAB code on GNU Octave, to see if it's compatible. And it is. It works flawlessly. There's only one function that GNU Octave didn't support back the (this was a couple of years ago), and even then, it wasn't an essential feature, you could use other software for that function as well.

By the end of that semester, I had compiled almost all input/output of the MATLAB code alongside its GNU Octave's counterpart, to demonstrate that we didn't need to pirate MATLAB to get through this undergraduate course.

Regrettably though, I didn't follow through. So sad!

Do you think piracy is justified in this case?

hi, so for me when I need an image search or looking for a specific content, yandex is king for me. BUT for the love of Zeus all mighty, I usually get the f'en captcha. and after entering correct responses over and over again but still not progress, I give up. I use FF and brave, nextdns and protonvpn I ain't dropping those. but what do I do? 😭 alternative website? workaround? bend the knee, I.e. drop vpn/nextdns? tx 4 reading.

What is your EDC (Every Day Carry) for pirating? You can be as specific or as general as you want.

For me, a newb, it is my GP6a.mostly have YMusic (download music/vids) and Tachiyomi(download manga/comics).

What is your EDC for pirating and teach us your ways!

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk...

Pretty much the title.

Alright, my issue is not new. It's the same old non-genuine Adobe bricking window that people have been bringing up here for years.

I got my Illustrator repack from m0nkrus, it worked for about a month, and then it's bricked.

So, here's the weird part. When I open my task manager, there's no Adobe Genuine Integrity Service in my task manager.

I open my services with run/services.msc, and there are 0 Adobe services listed for me to disable.

There are no folders on any of my drives labeled "AdobeGCIClient"

I've run the command prompt to delete AGSService and AAMUpdater, but both of those failed, citing no files with that name exist.

I have disabled all in and out traffic from Adobe services in my firewall.

I have uninstalled, and reinstalled.

Still, I am blocked. Anyone seen anything like this before?

Has anyone managed to download anything from this site? If so how? I can't seem to get any links to the search results.

Ahoy me hearties. Does anyone know if PTP has moved to another address, or is it just down? Their cloudflare has been timing out for days/weeks now.

I've been looking all over. Are there any torrents here or there?

I'm a big fan of stremio, just wondering if there's been development of an open source desktop app. I'd like to avoid the ads and the login component. https://blog.stremio.com/announcing-stremio-core-embracing-open-source-and-rust/

What the title says. In the past there was a Kodi addon but not sure it is still online and maintained. I prefer a solution like an app or addon to install it on an Android tv box. Thanks!

I want to stream mkv files to Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. Transcoding isn't that important. Just want something convenient.

Hello all. Does anybody know of a browser extension that i can use a vpn config with? I am looking for something that does similar to Nords browser extension but using my own ovpn/wireguard config. Thanks

Did the Pico 4 piracy discord server get banned? Is there any new server link? There is no update on the subreddit also.

noticed that most of the current Windows releases don’t have the AI tool working. i also noted that it’s currently in the latest photoshop beta version (25.0). are there any cracks that contain the AI tool?

I have read everything I could in the community and just want to make sure I'm clear on a few things and also have a question or two.

Do I understand correctly from the ISP Complaints section that Direct Downloads should not result in a DMCA or problems with your ISP?

Also, if I'm using IDM (Desktop Client & Browser Add-In) with Express VPN to download from streaming sites like KimCartoon, 9anime or a regular site like Internet Archive will the VPN block my ISP from seeing the webpage I'm viewing and the downloads I'm getting with IDM or it's "clip grabber"?

Finally, do I need to set my VPN to a site outside of the 14 eyes countries for safety when downloading in case of a data leak?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I've already download quite a bit from Internet Archive without a VPN and am a bit worried. Thanks so much & Great Job to all who put so much work into this site!

I've only found TV rips of the series while sailing. Is there a way to download the videos?
