There are a lot of really dog shit things in the world of tech that can be solved with a bit of time, some stubborn googling and maybe some special hardware and piracy is only the tip of the iceberg.ย
Printers are notorious for claiming theyโre out of ink when they havenโt come close to the suggested number of prints, and their cartridges literally still have ink in them. So after a bit of googling I found out how toย โresetโ a cartridges automatic stopping system (its literally 1 physical wheel on the cartridge that you gotta turn back). The only downside is that I donโt get a digital ink monitor, but since it told me it was empty when still half full, I donโt mind.ย
Like, you can just jiggle with some shit and solve one of the biggest money making scams in the post-industrial world and I donโt think people realise its that easy.ย
Or, like, repairing your own technology. A few months ago, I swapped out my sisterโs laptop screen. Did it myself, I removed maybe 4 screws, no vital parts were exposed and it cost me $40. I even got a choice of matte or glossy.ย
My point is, any walls that capitalist technology presents you with will be a false one. And one already broken by a dedicated community of interesting people working hard for free to break down that wall.
kids these days will be all โbe gay do crimeโ and dont even know how to watch a cartoon without paying for it smh
IN FAIRNESS
piracy was definitely leagues easier a decade or so ago when thepiratebay was functional, megaupload was still running, and YouTube and Google made only the most cursory attempts to block copyright content. like letโs not pretend that the internet hasnโt got a lot more corporatised in the past decade or so. piracy is still possible and you can and should do it but itโs a LOT harder to do safely and reliably than it was.
^thank u
Sorry, this is all wrong.
1) ThePirateBay is still functional. (Itโs not the same pirate bay that it was back in the day, but letโs not get into Theseusโ ship territory. Itโs still here and it still works, thatโs all that matters.) There are plenty of torrent sites around, more than there were 10 years ago โ although overall traffic has plummeted. Now as then, itโs a whack-a-mole game.
2) Why was it โleagues easierโ a decade ago? Some countries, not all (not north America, for example), now mandate ISP blocking of torrent sites, but this new complication can be bypassed with one (1) step: a google duckduckgo search for proxies. No government agency or ISP can possibly keep up with proxies, itโs yet another whack-a-mole game. So yes, it was technically easier before, but I donโt see โleaguesโ anywhere.
3) It was safer before? Are you shitting me? Have you lot forgotten that the legal departments of MPAA and RIAA sued torrent sharers (not even uploaders) and asked for millions of dollars for damages? AND GOT THEM? (By which I mean they didnโt actually get millions since the people they sued didnโt have any, but said people were convicted and ruined and that was the goal in the first place. It was a deeply amoral and cynical scare tactic.) Well they stopped doing that at some point, and focused on hunting P2P and torrent sites. Running a site is certainly less safe today. Using one, though? Depending on where you are, the ISP may be allowed to block you after repeated instances, and thatโs it. Youโre not getting in trouble with the law or into crippling debt. And either way thereโs only a minuscule chance that any of this will come to pass, which becomes zero (0) with a VPN. (Safety of course depends on the country, and in some cases piracy is the least of your concerns. Letโs not get into that.)
4) Ten years ago there was no Sci-Hub, and Library Genesis was in its infancy. If today itโs harder to find PDFs on google, it is orders of magnitude easier and more reliable to find them elsewhere. People just have to unstick their minds from the notion that stuff is either on google or doesnโt exist at all. Geez.
5) P2P still exists. IRC (the sharing channels in particular, #bookz and the like) still exists. Torrenting functions like it always did. All these methods are exactly as easy to use as before, i.e. not necessarily a piece of cake, thereโs a learning curve. But itโs the same learning curve it was 10 years ago.
6) So what have we lost? Only YouTube (meh, the film/tv quality was appalling anyway, and music is still there) and direct downloads (at least the permanent ones: there are plenty of them still around, but files expire and you need to keep track of what goes up when. So this goes beyond knowhow, itโs about internet communities. Letโs not get into that either, itโs a huge subject.) Itโs a loss, sure, but I wouldnโt call it a terrible blow.
7) And in exchange for that loss, we got streaming sites. This is piracy, too, and itโs much much easier than torrents, and tons of people do it. Any โpiracy has declinedโ narrative either implies that weโre excluding streaming from the discussion for some reason, or is flat out wrong. Ten years ago, grandpa couldnโt possibly torrent a film, and itโs debatable if he even knew how to open the file you helpfully sent him. Now, as long as someone has set up kodi or similar, grandpa can watch it on his tv and it just feels like cable.
8) On why torrents in particular have declined in recent years, see here. Itโs a big subject and I didnโt cover all of it, but the main reason is that people had access to easier methods to get what they wanted (some legal and affordable, some illegal and free), so they didnโt need to learn how to torrent. Ergo, they never did. Thereโs more of course, and thereโs definitely a cultural shift too, but thatโs a very long story so letโs not get into it. The linked post also includes some thoughts on why torrents arenโt dead and doomed just yet, and ooh, I forgot a very important one: you canโt stream photoshop.
To summarise, internet piracy is NOT more difficult, unreliable, and unsafe today than it was 10 or 20 years ago. For reasons why people (young or otherwise) seem less versed in it, please look elsewhere. I have thoughts on that too, but this is already a very long post, so Iโll just leave you with the best kind of thought. Iโll leave you with a doubt:
ARE people less versed in piracy? Are they really? Or is it simply that 20 years ago, internet users were computer geeks by definition, whereas now everyoneโs online? Perhaps the percentage of skilled pirates in the general population remains more or less the same, and the only thing thatโs dropped is the percentage of skilled pirates to total internet users. I canโt be sure without statistical evidence, but itโs a possibility.
You can literally google โwatch _____ free onlineโ and find most movies but the third result just download Adblock or popup blocker and youโre golden it truly couldnโt be easier

Finally someone actually posted links instead of just bitching or saying โitโs easyโ
Ok just want to plug the eye a bit more considering I lost a few hours in their yesterday.
the eye has been up since 2017 and in the last four years have accumulated 140TB of data (according to their own reports). Part of their growth is just their own work, part of it is absorbing other archives/open directories that were having issues: I know rpg.rem.uz used to be its own archive - gave way to The Trove, which is having its own issues right now unfortunatelyโฆ - but now most-all of their content can also just be found on the eye. Same with a few dozen other archives.
And they have โold roms, OS systems, roms (non nintendo), comics, books, ect, ectโ, but massively more than you might think just based off how this sounds. Likeโฆ
They have it all.
If you want to try and homebrew alcohol, go check their stuff. If you want to try and read books that are out of print or otherwise in public domain (and some that arenโt yet in public domain), go check their stuff. If you want to run a campaign and canโt pay for expensive print tabletop books, go check their stuff. If you want to fuck off into the woods to live off the land (or research how that would work for a writing project), go check their stuff. If youโre trying to learn shit about drugs - any drugs, almost - go check their stuff.
Hell, if you want to go read what looks like literally every research paper on coronaviruses from 1968 up to Feb 2020, you can do that too!
As chickenmcnuggies said its a mess and a half to navigate through their collections, partially with how large it is and the fact quite a few folders were once whole other archives since absorbed by the eyeโฆ
But goddamn you can lose an afternoon just going through all the stuff they have.
The subreddit r/freemediaheckyeah is a great resource and their index: https://fmhy.net/ has A LOT of stuff with a pretty straightforward UI. Its got free resources for pretty much anything you could want on the internet, both fully legal and dubiously legal.
The largest collection of free stuff on the internet!
@isuggestalibraryofthings

me too

aibo ers-1000 !!! (strawberry milk) source
What does "dead dove don't eat" mean? I'd Google it but I'm afraid of getting graphic images of deceased birds in the results.
Itโs a meme from an old episode of Arrested Development. Youโve seen it here on tumblr, but not always with the original context.ย
The character sees a paper bag in the fridge labelledย โDead Dove Do Not Eat.โ He takes the bag out of the fridge, opens it up, makes a disgusted face, and then the famousย โI donโt know what I expected.โ
There really was a dead dove in the bag.
When you see a fic tagged withย โdead dove do not eatโ it basically means,ย โthis fic is clearly labelled (tagged) indicating content that some people will not want to read. If you read it anyway, itโs your own fault. I warned you.โ
It can also be interpreted asย โSee those tags and warnings? Iโm not joking around. Pay attention to them.โ
The way I understand it then, itโs basically just a more amusing way of saying โdonโt like donโt readโ?
I would say itโs best understood as an intensifierย to Donโt Like Donโt Read.
Just for example, say a series has some implied cannibalism in it.ย
A given fic for this series might tag withย โcannibalism warningโ just because itโs in the canonย and the fic acknowledges or discussesย it. Some people might be okay with discussing it in the abstract, even if they donโt want to see it represented explicitly.ย Others might be uncomfortable with just the concept, and the author might addย โdonโt like donโt readโ to remind those people that they may not want to engage with the fic at all.
But if you see bothย โcannibalismโ andย โdead dove do not eatโ the author is telling you that in the course of this fic, a character is going to straight up chow down on some dead bodies, onscreen.
To refine on that โintensifierโ concept slightly, I interpret โdead dove: do not eatโ as an intensity modifier. The presence of a tag itself doesnโt necessarily tell me exactly how that content is going to be handled (which is not to say itโs not useful, just that itโs incomplete information). โDead dove: do not eatโ suggests to me that itโs going to on the darker, more serious end of the spectrum, and I shouldnโt read it if Iโm not prepared for what may be a psychologically intense or harrowing treatment of the tagged material.
You know what! This conversation has gotten me thinking about the concept ofย โintensity modifiersโ all this morning, and I think itโs actually a fascinating subject we should talk more about!
Because I started off by thinkingย โDDDNE serves as an indication of subject intensity, which is an important purpose and itโs a shame that we donโt have other things like thatโ but then I realized, we do! Theyโre just slightly less formalized than other kinds of tagging systems modern fandom tends to work with.
Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of intensity scales in common use in modern fandom.
The first is the violence/sex intensity scale, which tends overall to be conflated with or used as a shorthand for the intensity/maturity rating of the fic itself. And people have talked in detail about the difference between an M and an E rating, in terms of how explicitly the sex act or violence act is described.ย
But sex and violence are not the only topics that warrant an intensity scale. There are plenty of topics that people (myself included) are okay with when talking about in an abstract or general way, but if the narrative starts to dig down into the real nitty gritty of the topic I might only want to read it if Iโm in the right headspace, or not at all.ย
And though there isnโt an official G to E scale, fandom has implicitly recognized this need and filled it with canonical tags โ such as Implied/Referenced X, Canon-Typical X, or Dead Dove Do Not Eat.ย
1. Implied/Referenced X tells the reader that topic X is going to be discussed, but not shown explicitly on-screen. Unless the whole broad topic is a trigger for a reader, itโs probably okay for them to read.
2. Next step up from that is Canon-Typical X, which can generally be understood as the base or standard level of intensity for topic X in fandom Y. Exactly what level of intensity that is varies from fandom to fandom โ โcanon-typical violenceโ for The Avengers is probably going to be a different level of intensity than โcanon-typical violenceโ for The Witcher, just to name two offhand. But it is generally understood that if youโre reading fic for fandom Y in the first place, the level of X present in the work is probably not going to be too much for you.
3. And then at the far end of the intensity modifier scale is Dead Dove Do Not Eat, where a topic is explored in suchย detail and intensity that even fans of Fandom Y will have to decide whether theyโre okay to read this today, or maybe at all.
really not a fan of entire (mostly black) music genres being compressed and confined to being seen as "video game" music to be totally honest
acid jazz isn't acid jazz anymore, it's persona 5 music. new jack swing is just sonic cd music. jungle is the latest victim of this and is being relabeled as "ps1/n64" music even when the genre exists well beyond the confines of a couple dozen games from that period. and it sucks because the composers/artists who worked on these songs obviously adore those genres and where they come from. it's not their fault. but it just makes me sad seeing these genres effectively being whitewashed by people with zero interest in learning about their origins
For those who want to learn about which genres were used in different video game soundtracks, I'd recommend using RateYour Music. Tools for browsing genres via spotify really suck because it categorises them by shared listeners, while on RYM it's done by user consensus.
Here's what it has for Persona 5 and Sonic CD, as an example. It does still include that they're VGM, but there's a lot more detail about the genres used.
