Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

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?

Okay I'm fully aware of how ridiculous this sounds in 2023, but bare with me.

I have a wonderful neighbour, Jackie. She's in her mid-sixties, and ever since she moved in we have become very good friends, she's like a second mom to me.

Jackie loves movies and has an enormous DVD collection. One day, she was talking about how she couldn't find a particular movie, and I said "I can probably download that for you!" Her immediate reply was "Can you put it on a DVD?" I tried telling her the many reasons it would be better to use a myriad of other solutions, but she insists on DVDs.

I did them for a while using DVDStyler on Windows, and it worked fine. But then I installed EndeavourOS on a new partition on my hard drive, tried using Brasero and Devede but it wouldn't read on her DVD player. Then I tried DVDStyler on my Linux partition, and it didn't work on her DVD player, despite saying the operation was successful on my end. I then tried booting up into Windows and using DVDStyler, and that also didn't work, not even letting me burn the disc. Does anyone have any ideas what could fix this? I've tried playing around with the settings in all these apps but I couldn't figure it out.

Apologies if this isn't the best place to ask this, but I figured a community of pirates would understand my desire to get movies to Jackie without her having to pray to find them in a pawn shop!

I'm curious to know if anybody else finds their computer behaving sluggishly or erratically when downloading torrents.

For the record: I use transmission on a 2020 imac and have tried other clients to little avial. A virus and/or activity check doesn't reveal anything untoward going on in the background.

I'm not sure what's going on, but torrenting is either resource intensive (possibly RAM) or writing to the harddrive results in poor performance overall. Or maybe its something else (like my vpn draining resources)? Either way, when I torrent I might as well walk away from my computer because that's all it seems it wants to do, and even then its performance remains erratic.

I'm trying to stick it to local services. Unfortunately the content they serve is not available on the seas, and the only way to access it is through iptv services. However, I'm not sure where to start of where to start looking.

RARBG used to be my go to, but now that it's gone I haven't found a good place. Recommends?

I'm not sure if it's common knowledge, but a 'shadow' RARBG search engine went up when the site went down.

https://shadowbg-test.xav1erenc.workers.dev/

As far as I could tell, it provided direct access to all of its original torrents and/or continually seeded torrents by other dedicated seeders (or sites).

But the search engine has suddenly become inaccessible. Anyone know why? Is there an alternative?

thanks

I tried looking around online to find out if these release groups are internal to any specific tracker but didn't find much out there. Does anyone in the community happen to know what trackers these groups call home?

Thanks to this Lemmy I entered the magic world of private trackers, and now the list of torrents I keep seeding is growing by the day. How can I detect when the number of torrents is detrimental to the functioning of the network? What is a reasonable ball park estimate of active (even if "dormant") torrents?

I tried to join the lemmy instance some weeks ago but the registration was likely not approved, even though I remember I did everything right.

The same address is down now, not sure if it's blocked by my ISP or something.

So I'm wondering, is there a FMHY community to discuss media piracy resources, subreddit or a forum?

Following another setback in its legal dispute with Sony Music, Quad9 has decided to block pirate site Canna worldwide. The court-ordered block was initially restricted to Germany but the music label complained that VPNs and a mobile network still allowed Germans to access the pirate site. Quad9, meanwhile, has appealed the underlying court judgment.

Ultimately, Quad9 hopes that the lower court’s blocking order will be overturned on appeal. It will continue to fight the case, even if that takes several years.

This sets a really bad precedent going forward... a bit of a low blow for Sony to go after a non-profit that doesn't have an army of lawyers

Edit : i was ignorant when i posted this however i think it is still safe to say that internet in most 3rd countries is bad or expensive in comparison to their income

Would it be possible to add the information from this Reddit link to the wiki? It had great information which I always used for windows and ms office among other things. I consider it would be beneficial for many people

So, I’m bit out of the loop.

FHMY went down due to the ML domain (right?) and it seems they went to Calckey.

I was wondering whether FHMY will return to Lemmy sooner or later.

I was not sure where to post this, apologies if this t the right place to do so.

I finally decided that I would get into One Piece. However, nearly all the torrent sites just have literal THOUSANDS of magnets for the latest episode, and a few here and there of various seasons. But I can't seem to find anything before 2021 except for a rare one off episode.

When you're digging through the super old stuff, how are you supposed to get past the utter deluge of new stuff?

any recommendations on providers besides eweka? i think i used to use NGD but it was redundant from eweka. eweka is good but just had a season pack fail so wondering if a different provider might have it

Greetings fam, i'm unable to download items from the google drive (Team drives). It keeps on popping up " The download quota for this file has been exceeded" let alone tryna download after 3 days of gap & different VPN servers thinking it would refresh the limit but nope still the same issue.

Would be glad if there's a solution to this. Thanks in advance.

found this great bookmarklet for downloading DRM'd books from the internet archive in high quality. did not work in edge, but worked great in chrome!

I'm happy enough to seed til kingdom come, but I'm not aware of any facility that allows this with the 'Arrs.

Is there a way to continue seeding after download is completed, and also after the files have been moved and renamed to conform to whatever convention you have in place that the media players can pick up?

I currently have them continuing for 3x ratio in the downloads folder but that's duplicating files for who knows how long, and I don't have an enormous amount of space.

Can the torrent client be hooked back to the files under their new names, and can it be automated?

Since this would be considered piracy these days, has anyone bothered to reverse-engineer how Vortex handles collections, so they can just be imported straight to Mod Organizer?

Every single fucking other application has bend the knee to Nexus, and forces you to fucking download files one by one, manually clicking each and every download.

There's gotta be a better way.
