Piracy General

I was mistaken about the webcam, but not the "no VPN" rule. The private tracker is RED.

The interview part is kind of gay but the no vpn thing, at least when making an account and connecting for the first time, i've seen on other trackers, supposedly done to prevent people making burner accounts. At least that is how i understood it. Avistaz, for example, insists on it when you "buy in" via their seedbox scheme.

I think a lot of private trackers don't allow VPN due to ratio tracking too. In the cases of most of the trackers I am a member of they are run by a couple of people with IRL jobs/families and don't have the time or interest to work with constantly changing IPs and such.

As far as "interviews" I have only heard of those being done through IRC but I'm lucky enough to be an oldfag who has been around since these sites first appeared or invited by other oldfags who have.
 
If its from official pages, its probably be fine. HQ Opus is very good. format 251 on yt-dlp.

But if you want lossless music, look elsewhere.


I use annas-archive.
My belief is that most listeners don't need lossless music for regular use. It doesn't mean we shouldn't have it available, but I think a lot of pirates feel their wireless bluetooth headphones or their sedan's sound system require lossless music. If you have the storage go for it, but I wish we used a bit more compression (especially in video game audio).
 
Huh. Interesting.
I suddenly got a vision of being a "Good Patent Troll".
Imagine filing patents for horrible exploitative things so that big companies can't implement them.
The problem is that patents are ridiculously expensive and it takes years for them to get out of being pending. (Anyone can use them during this time)

However, if you just want to make sure there isn't a monopoly on these horrors in your head, you just need to publish your thoughts somewhere publicly and it becomes prior art and is now unpatentable. You need to make sure patent attorneys get to see it in their prior art search, which seems tricky to do. Maybe a community version of IBM's Technical Disclosure Bulletin is needed for such purposes.
 
Looking for shit to pirate and one of my favorite techniques is going on Google Books which will only give full text for items in the public domain but will yield hits matching supplied keywords. In this case I want to learn object-oriented programming beyond the basics and I know that the so-called "SOLID" principles are of importance in that area:

Anyone else do this?
 
I didn't know what AOM was, like at all. I hate acronyms. TAD.
Neither did I, I just picked up from context of 'retarded shit private trackers make you do' and figured that 'AOM' was making potential new magicians do a trick on webcam (imagining a kid with his parents camcorder stuttering through recording the plastic ring trick for grandma) before letting them into their esteemed halls.
