Its 1000x easier today, you have entire subreddits (where zoomers live) telling you where to go. You also have repackers. Only thing confusing about piracy today is if you are a mobile fag and dealing with cracking APKs; I doubt most zoomers can install and patch revanced. They also don't have to look for no cd cracks.

Familiarity bias. And you probably have more faith in the intelligence of the average person than I. I used to side hustle teaching boomers how to do basic shit like check their emails and use office back in the 2000's. My faith in people is long gone.

Its dead ass easy for someone like you or I, savvy people who already have foundational knowledge of the subject, and several related but useful subjects. But, shit that looks easy to us can be and often is bewildering to the less savvy.

We take it for granted, but we already know what to look for, where to look, and if we don't we generally are quick to find that what and where.

The new kid to the scene who just wants to play some vidya? Yeah, he's going to have to learn for himself some of that foundational knowledge you've forgotten you even knew.

tldr:
Shit often looks easy to smart/savvy people like you, especially if you've never actually tried to teach a dumb person. Or maybe I'm simply a cynical asshole.

I love 80s/90s DTV action schlock (Gary Daniels, Billy Blanks, Miles O'Keeffe, Joe Lara etc.) and this site has TONS of 1fichier links. I've already found about a dozen titles I've been looking for. The only problem is that 1fichier limits bandwidth to 50kB/s for free users.

been using them for 6 years now. Max out your collection and download all you want from 1fichier and many other sites.

"Reading the GPL/2/3 decades ago changed my viewpoint on the human race.
I think more like a lawyer and auditor around people. I mean I am allergic to BS and non-sensical emotions of people. It helped me a lot too in construction and real estate. Once the concepts of copylefts and copyrights become ingrained life gets simpler."

Thanks, I'll look into it. I don't understand how there's so many DDL sites when they are so shitty for free users (captchas, super low bandwidth cap, low max file size) and expensive for anyone who isn't paying for a 1 year sub. Every time I want to download something, it's on a different one. Filejoker (the worst by far), rapidgator, 1fichier, keep2share, tezfiles, filesmonster... To make things worse, some mesasge boards only allow posting links for sites they have a deal with. It's probably a big, complicated network of referrals.
 
I obviously pay with a prepaid card so it's not linked to my name and personal info. Alldebrid supports 1fichier and rapidgator. Though for the latter, since earlier this year more and more files are for rapidgator "subs" only, meaning you have to pay the uploader and rapidgator money!

I'm pretty sure a lot of DDL sites are networked. Like the same guys run two or three of them, and only split them up to make gooners pay them multiple subscriptions.
 
TorrentFreak: The Streaming Piracy Crisis Suppressant That Nobody Wants To Discuss (archive)
History has shown that if the source of pirated content isn't eliminated, one way or another it will simply reappear somewhere else. Targeting consumer-facing streaming sites does cause disruption, but not as much as targeting the supplier of their streams. Or targeting that supplier's supplier and then hitting the supplier above them. Effective in theory, perhaps, but in the world of 'CDN leeching', pirate streams and legal streams share the same supplier.

I tried Lucky Patcher a few years ago and it barely worked. I was too lazy to look into it. What do people use these days to crack APKs?

Couldn't tell you. My phone is a glorified authentication and banking device. I think they still use luckypatcher or download precracked APKs.

Maybe so - since we live in an age where zoomers can't even make a folder or even know what a folder is. Just browse the youtube sub for 2 minutes and see how retarded people are.

I still do that with the local library's DVD/Bluray collection, though they're ripped to a hard drive instead of burned.

I used to do this with Netflix. Get a free intro subscription, get DVDs, rip them, send them back the same day, and just do that until it ran out and cancel the intro subscription. Higher bandwidth than pirating them with ISDN.

LuckyPatcher seems to become more hit and miss/less useful with every major version of android. It was definitely awesome in the pre-android 10 days.

Based. You and I are probably among the reason they introduced "silent throttling" to slow down how many DVDs an individual subscriber could get in a month. Makes sense, since there was a fixed cost for them per-disc to ship them back and forth, even with their mailers and special deal with the USPS, so obviously once you hit the break-even point each month they were losing money doing business with you.

Feels good to know I fucked them in some small way back when they provided a service worth paying for, especially knowing now what they'd eventually become.
 
TorrentFreak: Global Piracy Injunction Targets VidSrc Domains, Hydra Regenerates in Russia (archive)
A powerful injunction obtained by members of the MPA, anti-piracy coalition ACE, and Korea-based anti-piracy group COA, has launched its first follow-up attack after targeting 248 domains in September. In this wave, the numbers are significantly smaller, with around a dozen domains listed for blocking and suspension. However, by aggressively targeting VidSrc, a site upon which many other sites have come to rely, the domino effect could've been significant.

TorrentFreak: IPTV Anti-Piracy Demands Are Bad For ISPs, Spell Disaster for User Privacy & Security (archive)
A huge coalition of rightsholders with collective revenues running to hundreds of billions of euros, is demanding legislative action to tackle live event piracy in the EU. In a letter to the European Commission, major rightsholders and broadcasters demand three legislative measures. They represent new burdens and liabilities for intermediaries, a potential disaster for privacy-first VPN providers, and risk undermining privacy and security for everyone in EU member states.

My Apple II days were brief (we had the IIe) , but this is not the disk copier I remember. I did know how to copy floppies. There was a program that did it. I remember looking at the disk. But it was not this one.

This was the one all the cool kids used, though. It could pump out TWO floppy copies in barely over a fucking MINUTE. You could just crank out pirated shit so fucking fast.
