Maybe instead of spending more on lawyers, just consolidate the streaming services again so they’re more attractive than piracy?
Fuck that, let me buy DRM-free movies. We can do it for music, books and games. Movies and TV shows are next.
DVDs and Blurays are still pretty common. They’re not actually DRM-free, but DVD DRM is completely broken and BR decryption keys seem to be easily obtained. And you can rip the disc if you want to make a digital copy.
Their days are numbered though as companies like Best Buy won’t carry them anymore.
But you’re not thinking of the CEO’s next yacht! Or the shareholders!
I feel like that’s the opposite of what we want. Perhaps a storefront where one could choose what they want from different providers for a reasonable price would be good, but consolidation leads to *opolies, which are never good for consumers.
Wasn’t Netflix basically that? One store front for films and TV shows produced by different companies. Pay a flat monthly fee and get access to the libraries from every production company.
I think that will work wonders!! We love convenience and fair pricing and people are willing to pay for a good service.
Aren’t Disney+ and Hulu about to merge?
They’re instituting this for the generation that grew up with Vpns so they could watch pirate streaming sites on their school Wi-Fi? Good fucking luck.
No one said they’re smart.
If they were smart, they would spend their money making their platforms more enticing than piracy. Instead, they spend it on lawyers.
They are decrepit dinosaurs killing grandmas for an industry that died 10 years ago. A violent hate machine running on fumes that must be destroyed for humanity’s sake.
This time the glove come off from the get go. DIE MPAA FREAKS !
The MPAA is a terrorist organisation and must be stopped with extreme prejudice.
Try fixing all the fucking subscription services and we won’t want to stream or clone a copy of media which you never owned because its virtually non existent
They never learn, it’s amazing.
VPs come and go, I guess it’s a new set of them.
How are they gonna site block? If they block through the ISP’s DNS, change your DNS. If they block through IP, well America is turning into China with its great firewall lol. Either way, if they manage to take down piratebay (good luck) we should run our own DHT crawlers like Bitmagnet (https://bitmagnet.io/), or torrent through i2p
This is to be expected, corporations will fight tooth and nail for every penny. We need to fight back to make piracy resilient regardless of the whims of the MPA and the law. Because piracy transcends the law.
Turkish guy reporting in: don’t worry we can teach you how to get around ISP blocks. It’s not that hard.
Teach us your ways
Tor Browser would probably be the easiest if least performant way.
Just fyi:
- performant == effective
- performative == related to artistic/dramatic performance
Thanks. I literally slept on it and woke up thinking this :)
The ideal process would allow creatives across the film, TV, music, and book industries to go to court, where they can request that internet service providers block access to websites with pirated content.
Surely the sites will actually have to host the content this time, right? Not just chasing harmless index files again?
Yeah it’ll work this time, really guys. You nailed it.
They’ll get the government to
banrequire all VPNs that operate in the USA to keep logs. Cause the bad people in foreign countries use them to to the big bad anti American things.Mullvad has already blocked port forwarding likely to placate these same groups
No, port forwarding removed because hosting threatened to kick mullvad out. Lot of shit hosted through that. No hosting, no vpn, so needed to remove to continue operate.
Pressure on host probably caused by those group though.
Algo then!
how will they stop people uploading stuff to .ru websites?
Imma tired of this shit!

Guys, their is a thing called I2P. You should check it out.
each round is funnier. this time i have the feel ppl pirate way less movies and US movies are a lot less worth sharing. i remember when groups raced for cam releases and that crap then was on tons of one-click hosters. not anymore. there are still so many sites and one click hosters, it can 9nly be the quality of US entertainment. and that tells me mpaa is in dire need of money if ppl dont even want their junk amymore. another starswars/startrek spin off, many many more marvel movies. the enshittification has rendered enshittified culture to worthless.
How does this work? Does he get notified because you tagged him?
Ah my fault. I don’t want to tag a user, I want to tag a community. I changed “@” to “!”
