Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I need help download lectures from https://ww.pw.live . I have the subscription for now but want to keep the lectures for future reference.

It was easier to download before as the link was to be modified a little and it would download through yt-dlp. They have recently changed their cloudfront servers and the old method does not work.

A new method was shared in YouTube but it only allows downloads through 1DM app on Android and through a telegram bot. It uses the following website 'https://psitoffers.store/1dm.php?vid=[VIDEO_ID]' to add some Policy ID, Key pair ID, Signature to the original link. When I paste this link into yt-dlp it throws 403 Forbidden error.

I have checked the DL links in 1DM. The Policy ID, Key Pair ID remain the same while the Signature changes for each lecture. How can I generate my own or get them from the browser, and pass it to yt-dlp for batch downloading? I saw a section named Policy, Key Pair ID, signature in cookies but they don't have any ID value.

I don't know what streaming method they use but it shows as octet-stream in the network tab.

I tried asking the dev of the new method, but he won't reply anything.

Please refer me to any other resources that may help me with this.

All these news about Yuzu made me realized I never tried a switch emulator. For education purposes I am interested in guides with links to prod keys. Anyone have any links?

Thanks in advance!

~~There's still time!!! Get Yuzu and Citra on Flathub now if you don't already have it!!!!~~

~~Edit: Just a note: Yuzu's latest build is mainline-0-1734. The latest build of Yuzu on Flathub is mainline-0-1733.~~

~~Edit#2: As a commenter on this post mentioned: Flathub has now been updated for the latest build of Yuzu -> mainline-0-1734~~

Also: Thank you @Krafting@lemmy.world for providing a link to a post that consults preserving/forking Yuzu’s codebase.

Edit#3: Yuzu and Citra have now been removed from the Flathub website, but are however still available via their flatpak commands:

flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

flatpak install flathub org.citra_emu.citra

For more context, A Flathub admin responded to someone on the Flathub Matrix channel saying that Yuzu won't be removed from Flathub completely until they "understand legal implications better"

Thank you to ObjectiveJellyfish36 for providing the image and information about the Flathub Admin's response.

God I hope this isn't a stupid question to ask but how exactly do I send out cash? Do i need to add a return address and won't that defeat the purpose? I really just want to try the service for 2-3 months after that I'll probably switch over to the amazon vouchers since I don't want to deal with monero. I think I sent out an actual physical letter maybe twice in my life and all the research I done was for sending it out internationally ~~even though there's a us based address AFAIK~~ so I'm really a noob here and I appreciate any help you can provide.

Edit: Just want to apologize if this is really stupid to ask I feel like an absolute idiot right now, haha

Edit #2: Thank you all for your help think I got an understanding on what to do now

Yuzu is being ordered to pay 2.4 million dollars and all things related to the project must shut down. Nintendo got a settlement and a permanent injunction :(.

I am looking for a recent working sci-hub instance. any ideas?

🏴‍☠️ AHOY and welcome to the state of global piracy for February 2024! ARRR! 🏴‍☠️

Please let me know if you have ideas about interesting stats, I'll see if I can make it happen.

Enjoy the numbers!

TOTAL SCENE RELEASES BY SECTION

I have a total of 77 sections in my PreDB. The sections in here are combined for a better overview. Numbers in braces are the values from the previous month.

Total: 55.551 (54.960)

MOST NUKED SECTIONS

ACCUMULATED RELEASE SIZE FOR FEBRUARY 2024

From the 55.551 scene releases, only 30.661 of them had file + size information.

They total to: 30,25 TB (30.257.808 MB) in 333 thousand files (322.964).

No idea about the size of the missing information, so the real value should be much higher.

Aniwatch has officially rebranded to HiAnime

Hi everyone, I remember I came across an extension from a mega thread I think, I think it was a Russian extension or something, basically it would translate(to English) and then talk in English online videos (eg twitch, YouTube). I lost the extension name. Anyone know what I'm talking about please?

I found this gem. Very interesting talk about the Pirate bay.

OP, modified to add piracy section

DDS stands for digital distribution services

If this is the wrong place to post please direct me elsewhere of course.

I've been less active in torrents etc for a the last couple years so I think I'm probably out of the loop on this tbh.

I have a couple of TV series/versions of series I'd like to share occasionally but it seems so few of the public torrent sites accept submissions (or require you to be a big name or upload a certain quota per month etc), I'm not sure where to post the torrents. In the past I had anonymously uploaded at TPB but that doesn't seem to be a thing anymore.

Any advice/suggestions?

Long time Kodi and Plex user, it was a matter of time that I started messing around with this.

Cost, ease of use, speed, other good features, etc.

I need some help with Handbrake and HDR not encoding on AV1 SVT, 10bit and NVEnc. I haven't been able to find an appropriate instance to ask about it so I figured my pirate buddies might be able to help me find a place.

My current tv is so old that the netlfix app isn't supported anymore. From an usb stick it can only play h.264 videos so I always have to run them through hand brake first. That is why I want to buy an streaming box. Preferably under 50€

Alternatively if someone knows about a blu ray player under 100€ which can do all of the above plus play blu ray dvds please recommend me one :)
