This isn’t a subreddit. You’re allowed to talk about piracy here.

I mean movies and tv shows.

Well, you just edited your question to be about Linux Distros (a thing you cannot pirate), so I am still not sure what you’re on about.

ISOs of what? Piracy is alive and well on IRC, but this isn’t much of a question.

I don’t care about the intent of the encryption. I outright reject any argument that criminalizes the use of decryption.

What are you talking about? 95% of the web uses SSL. 100% of the top-100 sites use SSL.

Just about every single image, video, and line of text you’ve ever seen online was encrypted in transit.

I don’t legally own any of the shit I pirated, but it’s fully in my custody and under my control. That’s all that matters. Can you make a copy, and can you do with that copy as you please?

You have fallen for the ultimate trick: wanting a “big” community.

You only get that from big, centralized social networks that want to maximize the amount of content you are fed, because it maximizes your ad views, and their profits.

Embrace the smallness. Lemmy still has room to grow, and having lot of different options for communication that aren’t all owned by billionaires is a good thing. The fact that it isn’t constantly trying to earn your attention is a feature, not a bug.

I have a 60TB media collection, so this would end up costing $600/month.

Instead, I back all my media up to LTO-6 tapes, and store them at a storage unit.

LTO-6 drive: $400 10x LTO-6 tapes (62.5TB): $200 Small off-site storage unit: $30/month

Jackett found it immediately. Downloaded!

You still think there’s going to be another election, huh?

I don’t even care about the “AI is content theft” arguments. No self-respecting artist would ever accuse him of plagiarism over this. It looks like garbage. The copyright office rejected his copyright claims on the grounds that he didn’t make it. Same story as the monkey selfie guy: You didn’t make the art, it isn’t your art. If a human didn’t make the art, it can’t be copyrighted.

He claims it was a mix of Midjourney and Photoshop, but honestly, I’ve made prettier things just fucking around with SDXL on my gaming PC, and I can confirm that it took absolutely no talent or effort to do it. The hardest part of the process was setting up AUTOMATIC1111, and that’s not even very hard.

And I would never even dream of taking credit for anything I’ve generated, because I didn’t make it. I just typed a bunch of wildcard arguments into a prompt and let my GPU dump out thousands of 4K wallpapers for entertainment. This guy thinks this one artifact-ridden generation has any actual value? It’s “famous” for pissing people off by competing against humans and unjustifiably winning. Being controversial could be valuable, if the controversy didn’t fundamentally render the “art” valueless by revealing that it is nothing more than a GPU vomiting up inference. The real villain in this story is the art contest organizers that stuck a blue ribbon on this slop.

That’s only ~5% of a gigabit line.

qbittorrent-nox is my go-to. No need for a desktop UI, just give me the web-ui. That’s all I use anyway, and I can manage it from my phone wherever I am.

I’m gonna assume you’re just a really sad person who hates everyone, and this comment is off-topic, because there’s no way you’re in the Piracy community complaining about a Nintendo leak.

This is like when Republicans complain that Biden detained record numbers of border-crossers, and I’m like “Isn’t that what you guys want him to do?”.

Not well versed in bird law, eh?

Tl;Dr: Sharing Nude scenes out-of-context are considered a form of involuntary pornography in Denmark (portraying artistic nudity as pornography) and this man was arrested for compiling and sharing nude scenes of Danish actors from Danish films and sharing them while inside Denmark…

This has nothing to do with film studio profits or piracy, this is a man who ran afowl of his home country’s laws about pornography.

And to be fair, a woman appearing nude in a film doesn’t mean that sexualizing the shit out of her publicly isn’t scummy fucked up behavior. I think I understand the law here.

I doubt it. Streaming sites like Fmovies are used almost entirely by technologically illiterate users. It’s for people who want to pirate, but don’t want to learn anything.

These users are going to remain helpless until the next malware-laden streaming website enters their lives.

They’re not about to install additional software to try to access anything, or at least not software like I2P or BitTorrent, because that would require effort and some amount of technical understanding to accomplish.

This is like wondering why so many people still use Twitter two years into Elon’s hostile takeover. People will resign themselves to defeat if it saves them from having to learn anything new.

I like the idea of Tor for torrents
