Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I got some courses on zenva and gamedev.tv thru a humble bundle some time back and would like to store the videos from these courses locally. "Save video as" is greyed out, but is there a common technique to download such content despite this?

What are the best piracy tips/tricks. I host most of my own media, but I want to be able to read paywalled news articles, watch youtube w/o ads am generally into privacy, etc.

What are your best practices?

Recently finished setting up all the ARR services and I already had a lot of movies placed in nice folders for collections. Upon import into radarr it does not like this and fails to see most of them. I said fine and went into some of my collection folders to read the movies in there and then it complains about "Multiple root folders are missing for movie collections:" . So not only would I have to add root folders for each collection but then I have to go back through and rename each one of those to be what radarr wants them to be? Is there any way to automate this I looked through there wiki and didn't see anything about collection making. Or do most people not put movies in actuall collection folders such as movies/Star Wars/Star Wars Episode One file

Thank you

Whenever I torrent something I feel like the torrent almost always includes addtitional subtitles and audio tracks. Is there a way to prevent this? I've tried to set up bazarr to atleast fetch the correct subititles and default those to english but its not always working either. But the default audio tracks I've yet to find a way to delete/set english as default.

Is this as common of a problem for Usenet users? Been considering going over to usenet for a while.

I'm looking for a cloud provider with a cheap VPS offer to host my own wireguard relay and use it to seed.

I've read that Switzerland is safe for torrenting, so I was thinking about using Infomaniak. Does anyone has experience with seeding torrents from their IP addresses ? I'm also interested in other suggestions.

Thank you :)

Hidden pirate features within seemingly harmless apps, known as "stealth apps," are slipping past Apple's App Store security, offering users access to pirated movies and TV shows. Taiwan's Criminal Police Bureau recently busted three individuals promoting unlock instructions for these apps to roughly 400,000 users. Surprisingly, this tech-savvy scheme was orchestrated by a group whose combined age totals 215 years.

Red Rooms is about things that happen in the dark corners of the internet. Naturally it found an audience of fans who pirated it there.

When you have some torrent where there is a huge collection of files only some of which you want right now, but maybe you will come back to it later to get something else.

Example: This is a listing for torrents of audiobooks from The Eye. (Alphabetically by author, one torrent per letter.)

So I don't want to download every audiobook ever. I selectively choose which to download. Then the torrent is "completed" when those are done. But I want to keep them around because maybe later I want something else. I just leave them in the queue?

In the torrent apps I've used, they seem to get confused by these. If you move the downloaded file to a proper location in your filesystem, then it is having a "missing files" error, unable to seed, and the torrent is in error state. But if you leave the obtained files, it's still in the "not yet downloaded" directory forever.

Wondering if there is some smart way of managing this, or what?

Hi, I am looking for sites with polish content like music and movies. Thanks for any feedback :)

Umm, no, IPTV is NOT a crime. It's a protocol. An IPTV provider may be committing copyright infringement IF they're sourcing materials without permission from copyright holders. That's NOT the same thing as a protocol being illegal. The argument an application is illegal would be better reserved to applications connected to services and/or companies like Napster or LimeWire, but even in those cases it was NOT illegal for FrostWire (a fork of LimeWire) to be distributed even after the court found the LimeWire entity to be violating the law. The criminality was something along the logic that they advertised content early on that that they knew or should have known was not legally available through the system (assuming I'm thinking of the right case here). Napster was centrally controlled, LimeWire was not. LimeWire had an interesting bootstraping protocol that didn't rely on a central server (from what I recall) which is also why FrostWire (and possibly other clients) continued working after the LimeWire entity shut down.

Hello, we were wondering if there's a place to either get more tracks for movies and television shows etc so that they are accessible, i.e. Audio Descriptions.

We know some people that find anything lacking an audio description track inaccessible and so were wondering if there was a place we could go to get them or if there is a place where they are already included in the file.

Thanks so much!

The system will train AI to recognize piracy websites by analyzing their layouts, advertisements, and content patterns. It will also utilize image recognition to detect unauthorized use of manga and anime materials provided by publishers.

How is this related to piracy? FCC regulates the pipes we use (some of us at least).

So as I look to build my first dedicated media server, I’m curious about what OS options I have which will check all the boxes. I’m interested in Unraid, and if there’s a Linux distro that works especially well I’d be willing to check that out as well. I just want to make sure that whatever I pick, I can use qbittorrent, Proton, and get the Arr suite working

The fmhy wiki is great and i want to make a wiki with the same backend but cant find what it uses
