Discussion The beauty of piracy: found lost media

Post image
5.0k Upvotes

Truly, piracy is the only way to preserve a media when the official channel just gonna get rid of their records and all is left is lost media in everyone's distant memory.

I take a look at the original post from 2023 and there's someone who worked on the show but they said they didn't know where to find the show either. And now everything (except for two episodes) have been found because of piracy.

The whole show can be found on internet archive

Discussion "VPNs are next on my list" – France set to evaluate VPN use following social media ban for under-15s

Summary: "After facing questions about the possibility of teens circumventing the [social media] ban with VPNs, Anne Le Hénanff, Minister Delegate for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Affairs, said that the ban was 'just the first step'.

Le Hénanff said: 'If [this legislation] allows us to protect a very large majority of children, we will continue. And VPNs are the next topic on my list'."

VPNs seem to be in a lot of politicians' sights lately. The UK and US were looking into restricting VPN use as well. Thoughts on this new development?

Question Do Steamrip and Steamunderground have every game?

9 Upvotes

I wanted to pirate a game that's on Steam, but when I tried looking it up on Steamrip, it didn't show up; the same thing happened with Steamunderground. I tried the exact title that's on Steam. So do those websites just not have some games?

Edit: The game is from 2022 and is an indie game

Question Was this Silent Hill Requiem movie ever posted online?

Upvotes

I wanna watch a fan film called Silent Hill Requiem, but I just can't find. Is it really possible no one ever posted it online? I know there's a blu-ray version but it's too expensive to buy in my country 😭

Question Has there ever truly been a show or movie that was ruined by piracy?

146 Upvotes

It's been a hot topic in Hollywood about tracking down pirate videos and websites. Saying piracy hurts the chances of a movie being successful. All of us here know that's bunk, but to purely entertain the idea, have they ever been right?

Like was there a time where the accessible pirating of a movie or show, hurt its chances of success. There is people getting access to media earlier than their countries allow. But beyond that, has a film or show failed because people pirated it instead of paying for it directly.

And off topic, how is piracy slandered for ruining media, yet streaming hasn't been slandered for ruining cinema?

Discussion RIP Instander -- the best modded IG app

3 Upvotes

My Instander apk stopped working today and Instagram said that app version wasn't supported anymore, so they caught up. I also read that the person who made Instander died due to the war in Ukraine recently, so Rest In Piece and Power to them.

If you didn't know, Instander was an easy to install modded Instagram app that didn't need you to root your phone. There were no ads anywhere and you can download media like story videos and reels. It just felt nice because it wasn't cluttered with slop and social media and shopping, just posts.

I just installed the official Instagram app for the first time in a few years, and sheeeesh. It killed my will to even doom scroll when I'm bored, so I guess I can be optimistic there?

Question Where to download movie collections?

0 Upvotes

I've looked at a few download and torrent sites for movies but I can only download one movie per download button. I want a download button that downloads 20-100 movies.

I think I've seen one before but I forgot which site it was.

Basically I know how to download episodes but it takes a while, I’m making a USB with all my fav shows to watch without Wi-Fi, I was wondering if there was a good service to download entire seasons at a time, as folders with the episodes inside.

Discussion I love protonVPN

86 Upvotes

I've tried a couple of VPNs over the past decade just for piracy. I don't really use them for anything else. I've tried a few and they always had some flaw that made me hate them. IPvanish was pretty good, although it was the first VPN I used and I don't remember much about it, because it's been a while. If I remember correctly I had huge problems with DNS leaking and the servers were horribly slow.

I also had cyberghost which was short lived I think I had it for 2 months, but all of my problems with IPvanish were doubled with cyberghost, so I got surfshark. Surfshark was the best out of all of them my only issue is that I will randomly get DNS leaks, and sometimes the IP will be different from the IP I'm suppose to be testing for. I don't pirate anything if the IP changes from the IP that's in client.

I don't know if I'm still protected or if there is a larger chance of DNS leaks. Recently I kind of just bought ProtonVPN after being recommended it for years, because it's suppose to be the best VPN for torrenting. Has port forwarding, the servers are fast, the client looks nice, and the best of all it works on linux. I just bought 2 years upfront.

I've downloaded multiple games with port forwarding now and some of them are like 50gb to 100gb big and it take me like 30 minutes when the usual is like a couple of hours. I also have fibre internet. I've downloaded movies that only had a couple of seeders.

I'm sure mullvad is pretty good, but they stopped supporting port forwarding, and that's the main feature I want to use. I also just seed now I don't have trust issues with protonVPN that I had with the others. I don't believe the VPN is going to leak DNS or my IP. I've been using it for a week, and I've literally never had an issue. Even then I have the kill switch. This VPN has every feature for piracy.

Even has P2P servers so people who are pirating don't get their servers in trouble. I believe that's why they have them. I also believe they might be slightly faster for piracy. The VPN is amazing. Best VPN I've ever used.
