Pretty much everything does, even your car will and I would totally download a car if I could.

I have one of these on a billboard near my house. Every time I feel sad, I just look up to it as I'm passing by and it gives me a chuckle. I think they actually updated it recently. These posters are in the UK for anyone wondering. And this one in particular is in the London Underground.

I despise vandalism, but sometimes I feel an exception can be made

This actually happened to me once. I illegally streamed a show and then this Italian guy Vinnie the Foot blasts through my screen. Nice guy. Asked for a towel, I made him an espresso, we watched movies and smoked cigars til sunrise.

OK this hilarious. Guess who owns this domain. It is Sky UK

Wonder how much of your personal data they have? 😆

Or how many times they've been hacked, or broke the law.

Sky are a bunch of bastards.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

They were bought by Comcast a number of years ago, so they're actually worse than before if you can believe it.

Remember kids: Torrents and Jellyfin are the only way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I heartedly recommend Usenet. Bit more involved setting up than torrents but if you're looking for fast and quality content then this is the way.

The website is run by Skynews, wich is not directly disclosed on the website, the privacy options button doesn't work, it doesn't have a cookie banner but does set a cookie (illegal in EU), it has a injection for Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, by doing all that, they are less compliant to GDPR than my fucking piracy site...

All in all it looks like a intern made a WordPress website, designwise ok, but regarding legality, functionality and content its at best for printing it on toilet paper.

They are actually less prone to big data theft... "they could steal your personal data without you know"...while the "legal" streaming sites are stealing orders of Magnitude more wich is pretty clear by the amount of data they transmit, a website has usually no access to your contact info, your entire hard drive, the contact info of everyone in your contacts, your microphone or your camera.

And being hacked left and right

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Thought this was a Republican ad for a second. Similar language and appeal to fear and ignorance.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

If it wasn't across a train line it'll make more sense if someone plaster over the "il" in "illegal"

They could steal your personal data without you knowing.

So very ironic when it's the opposite between them.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Legal stuff isn't much better these days. Advertisements unless you pau more, user tracking regardless, etc.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Massive data collection and then getting hacked with no legal ramifications.

You don’t use the C:/> </ terminal prefix and suffix prompt on your smartphone?
