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 will they stop people uploading stuff to .ru websites?
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 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
I still disagree with the notion made up by punlishers that you buy a dvd or cd you somehow only buy a license to view it. I never agreed to that and you can't just print text on something to make it so.
Ofcourse I don't have the right to make reproduction but owning the physical product should make me the owner.
Maybe not related to your comment but I wanted to rage about this.
You DO have the right to copy it. It's sharing that copy that becomes a potential legal problem.
I'll back up your rage buddy!!
Every report on piracy I read points out that the biggest pirates are also the biggest spenders on “legitimate” media, streaming, cinema tickets. This will only increase purchase of such things by a rounding error. It won’t be the money spinner they’re hoping for. It’ll reduce the number of people that view shows & movies, and have a more significant effect on viral and organic hype.
Its the whales and the people that can't afford to buy more media than they already do.
If the industry actually got the big spenders to do away with their self-hosting/data-archive setups, they won't actually put that money into more media, as they're already budgetting a set amount for the media itself which is not going to increase.
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 "!"
It is far more convenient to pirate than to buy media legally, due to the extreme and purposeful fragmentation of streaming services and their constantly changing libraries. If you want people to pirate less, make your service(s) competitive.
Not just competitive but available without platform limitations and special streaming contracts. Sports is the only thing keeping traditional cable alive and also drives digital TV subscriptions. The rest of the crap on TV is trash. Even then, it should always be on demand without restrictions. And blackout areas.
