  • @shalafiIts a beautiful dream, but youre missing the part where copyright holders refuse to rent you distribution rights :(

  • @HamSwagwichWoof, well I was genuinely trying to see the differences but I guess these weirdly aggro responses tell me thats gonna go nowhere. I learned a lil about Usenet, which is cool, happy to be wrong and have that corrected, hopefully u can figure out some way to communicate that might make someone want to help u out with how youre really wrong about the culture and tech of bittorrent too.

  • @HamSwagwich not sure what you mean re: torrent indexers, you mean trackers? i've never paid, but i have made donation to server costs.

    idk how usenet is safer or more private, since you have to download through a server and is subject to subpoena (since unlike trackers they actually do host the files). at best it's the same level of privacy with vpn. free indexers seem like easy honeypots

    did a search for a few movies i watched recently and got nothing, so i guess ymmv on finding everything.

  • @HamSwagwich huh, yeah i guess preference is partly political, where what i'm interested in with p2p is building a different kind of internet that isn't just a bunch of servers owned by someone else, and to me the system being set up so you give back what you take (ie. ratios) is a good one rather than just consuming content as a service, so maybe irreconcilable difference in preference.

    The concentration of the webtech nerds from r/piracy at @piracy is a sight to behold. Brings a tear to my eye. May a thousand Gazelles bloom from it

  • @HughJanus@cupcakezealotthis is not how compensation for writers works, generally, and also the whole idea is to break a traditional publishing system that exploits writers in favor of one where people directly pay the authors.

  • @edsuit seems like it just uses the API???? idk readme says they have moved on to another project that I can't find the sources for, the gitlab just has the APKs. but if it's just as simple as using the API I would be freaking stunned there wasn't more widespread abuse of it.@piracy

    Does anyone have any links for reverse engineering Spotify DRM? I didn't necessarily need it for myself, have plenty of music, and it would be a pretty inefficient means of piracy vs. BitTorrent or li

  • @bilb@Mugmoorthat's fair. I think they are approaching it as archivists rather than as gamers - preserving cuktur artifacts regardless if they're good or not

  • @GreenCrushI read it as them saying it's a good thing and sort of tiptoeing around piracy, as academics do

  • Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    an analysis of historical video game availability shows that only 13% of classic video games are currently commercially available across consoles and time periods, and only 3% of games prior to 1985

  • @YellowtoOrangeoh crap did this federate like a post to the magazine. I am both glad that is how it works and embarrassed for spamming.

    tidy little lesson in the difference in posting modalities lmao.

    yes it seems overdue ❤️

  • @original_ish_nameif this works then every ripping guide on every tracker is about to be prettyyyyy embarrassed
