Solution: No sportsball.

Get better trackers

It is every citizen’s duty to make the government block as many IP addresses as possible. When the Italians have no Internet, maybe they’ll reconsider.

They pay if they see you as a person, not just a name on the music.

enshittification?

This youtube link contains a tracking code ?si=… Remember to remove it next time.

It can go both ways since a lot of people discover music through piracy too

So what? Software freedom is more of a meritocracy than most things (but not entirely). They had Richard freaking Stallman who eats his toenails while giving lectures.

DDL, ew. Hope you have a debrid.

Point 2: “Sites which track NFOs” track NFO files of scene releases because noone cares about P2P NFOs. Scene releases are intended to spread on FTP, not BitTorrent. They also come with CRC-32 checksums in file extension .SFV

The SFV file contains checksums.

When it’s discovered it stops working. Rippers have custom reverse engineered tooling and keep it secret.

Legal or not legal isn’t determined by the licence key anyway. You can buy it for real, then crack it and you still have a legal copy.

If you use a debrid service, you’re okay because the debrid service just downloads the file once and caches it for everyone, and you pay for the bandwidth to download from them. That isn’t excessive leeching, whether they seed or not.

Why don’t you block it automatically for everyone?

That’s fine but can it be hidden from Lemmy please? There’s no good reason to see it under every post.

Doesn’t matter lol they’ll always find a way to get things they don’t like. Napster didn’t host pirated content.

based. But what happens when the FBI seizes this instance? You got a plan?
