Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

For instance, say I search for "The Dark Knight" on my Usenet indexer. It returns to me a list of uploads and where to get them via my Usenet provider. I can then download them, stitch them together, and verify that it is, indeed, The Dark Knight. All of this costs only a few dollars a month for me.

My question is, why can't copyright holders do this as well? They could follow the same process, and then send takedown requests for each individual article which comprises the movie. We already know they try to catch people torrenting so why don't they do this as well?

I can think of a few reasons, but they all seem pretty shaky.

1. The content is hosted in countries where they don't have to comply with takedown requests.

It seems unlikely to me that literally all of it is hosted in places like this. Plus, the providers wouldn't be able to operate at all in countries like the US without facing legal repercussions.

2. The copyright holders feel the upfront cost of indexer and provider access is greater than the cost of people pirating their content.

This also seems fishy. It's cheap enough for me as an individual to do this, and if Usenet weren't an option, I'd have to pay for 3+ streaming services to be able to watch everything I do currently. They'd literally break even with this scheme if they could only remove access to me.

3. They do actually do this, but it's on a scale small enough for me not to care.

The whole point of doing this would be to make Usenet a non-viable option for piracy. If I don't care about it because it happens so rarely, then what's the point of doing it at all?

As the title says https://mrgamingstreams.com/ has closed. It has been my go to for a long while now and the stability and quality of the streams were fantastic. What are some alternatives please? Thanks.

Images consume a lot of storage on my device. Can I disable them? I don't need them

This message has been posted on their discord server yesterday, currently the app is being worked on and has no definitive ETA. We probably have to use other forks until that. I don't know whether I can share the discord server's link so not sharing that until a mod gives heads up.

Can anyone recommend me a free VR porn website? (Download or streaming) I recently bought a quest 3 and I wanna try how that feels.

So I use a VPN when torrenting as per usual but with Soulseek I wish to share my music with others and that requires me to open a port. I have no problem doing so I just do not pay for a VPN that can do this at the current price I am paying. Is it possible/what are the chances of me getting in trouble ISP wise from using soulseek with no VPN. With where I live I would get in trouble with no VPN and torrents for clarity.
I see posts from years ago saying no just wondering if things have changed.

Thanks

I guess it's just the way my brain doesn't assimilate information well, but I went at it assuming that when I was done I would have a product that would show up in Plex and allow me to use as a browser within the Plex system. Now that I'm done I realize it's just a single device install that that results in something that looks like a web page, and will need to be repeated on any other device that I want to use it on. Pretty underwhelming, and a s*** ton of work for what I end up with.

Anyway as I said I'm not very good at processing large chunks of information, so if I'm underusing it please let me know how I should properly be doing things.

I am requesting comments.

Edit: okay, I set it up on my wife's iPad easily using Safari and it seems to work fine. Thank you all, I truly didn't know what I was doing and I still don't, but so far so good.

Sucks...

tl;dr

Tachiyomi will no longer be actively developed. It may continue to work for you for the foreseeable future but there will be no support for it nor the official extensions.

I want to build a "pirate portfolio" of all my personal fan works. There's manga, anime, documentaries, book chapters, all sorts of things I've translated myself from Russian and English. Mostly Japanese, British and modern Russian content. No USA.

What do you guys think would be the best place to host the website? Not the content itself, which I plan on uploading to mega until I can afford to build a small home server.

I live in a "pirate-friendly" country (Brazil), but it won't make any difference if the website platform itself is located in a regulated country, am I right? They can have it taken down anyway.

I'm thinking of nothing special, even a simple rentry page, minimally customized, would do.

So, what do you guys think I should do to protect my website from being randomly taken down? How to post the links? Where to host the websites? Thanks!

I have some idea that the devs got DMCA notice from some company and they are trying to shutdown the forks as well. I also read that some extensions won't work or need to be added from unofficial sources. So my question is how to get back to the smooth experience as before with trustworthy extensions and forks. If there is already a post or link to it, do guide me to it.

So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.

I didn't think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They're both just torrent downloaders.

Holy shit was I wrong. I don't even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don't even understand how.

A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.

Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

I’ve been looking online for ways to download websites (game wikis mostly), in order to have them all in my collection and ensure that they dont get taken down or changed.

After trying linkwarden, which is fine for singular web pages, one has to manually link each individual page of the wiki in order to make a pdf.

With this in mind, the only other option that I’ve discovered is using wget recursively. Do any you of you have experience with this or reccomend alternative ideas? Any and all help is appreciated.

PS: I will most likely download official game guides which will cover most of the games, but looking for something to cover all my games library.

I'm looking for a way to watch recent Nebula plus videos. I only have two short videos that I am looking to watch and I don't think that justifies the cost of a subscription, though I would gladly pay 50p for each video.

I'm paying for Domestika Plus every month, is there any solution to download the courses?

Hey so I installed Yuzu (and many other emulators) via emu deck so the installation is taken care of I think except for the product keys and title keys I have a switch but dont want to fuck with getting the keys out of it and all that so Im trying to just download them I found a website called "theprodkeys.com" is this legit? Sorry if its been mentioned somewhere before I no longer have access to reddit anymore so I cant check the megathread listed that links to reddit.

I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction or just tell me if I'm being foolish here. I'm aware of the YouTube slime tutorials, but I was wondering if there's a level deeper than slime tutorials for the real good slime content.

if I went to a library or something, and torrent a file, nobody would be able to tell who it was as its a public place and the library couldn't be held accountable. thoughts?
