Software piracy scene and r/CrackWatch

[Quioui]

claims their torrents gets [...] reworked to put malware inside...

That's not how torrents work right?
Sure a 1337x admin could potentially make it seems like user EMPRESS uploaded torrent X, but on the torrent side of things said torrent would not be announced by the other trackers and if people noticed there was two torrents for allegedly the same scene release they could compare MD5 hashes and total scan both versions to find any issues with them, right?

I'm 95% sure this is pure schizo screaming and that it would be trivial for someone involved in torrents to provide receipts or traces of suspicious meddling but I'd like someone more knowledgeable in torrents to weight in.

Unfortunately i'm not that knowlegeable on the topic, but knowing the subject its either that or probably Empress got caught and it's crying crocodile tears.

Nah that schizo is just salty that 1337x started to delete their batshit insane nfo manifesto's.

HRT, folks. Not even once.

not even that. just schizoposting

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

I have a theory even more schizo that Empress they(?)self.

Terry Davis faked his own death, trooned out, and is now cracking Denuvo in Eastern Europe.

"She, she, she, she"
Oh, you silly sonsabitches.

 

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

These people are making it really hard to root for them. Maybe paying for videogames is not that bad after all. Good excuse for cutting back, its a gay hobby anyways.

 

[Manul Otocolobus]

Apparently Empress is now out of the 1337x torrenting website.
She/he/whatever got turbo mad and in her telegram as she claims their torrents gets deleted or reworked to put malware inside...
She lost her mind, again.

That is annoying. Crazy, but talented, Russki bitch.

 

[Bruno Powroznik]

New EMPRESS release is out.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

Holy shit, I didn't even realize Dead Island 2 was finally out.

[JustTheFaxcts]

New EMPRESS release is out.

Well, it's (probably) the reason Dead Island Epidemic is gone, so it better come with a free blowjob.

Blake3 hash? I've never even heard of that hash before

 

[Kees H]

Blake3 hash? I've never even heard of that hash before

Blake2, it's predecessor, was one of the competitors for SHA-3 during NIST standardization, which it lost from another hash function. Seems to get more and more popular for some reason because it seems to be really fast compared to the other hash functions.

New EMPRESS release is out.

Nigger is talking a big game but Daemonhunters is still not cracked. I like the dig at plebbit, though.
But seriously, i hate how this troon (or insane lesbo, but i bet my life on troon) is basically crowdfunding piracy and people are lapping it up. I'm not paying for some tranny's estrogen injections to get my vidya fix. I also doubt 1337x is doing anything malicious to the torrents they host. It's a shitty public tracker but they got enough third-worlders browsing their site without adblocker to make a mint from it.

 

[AnOminous]

I'm not paying for some tranny's estrogen injections to get my vidya fix.

If I'm giving any money whatsoever for vidya it's to actually fucking buy it. Which I mostly do just because Steam's portability means no matter where I am, or what computer, I can have anything in my library. Piracy was for when I was a damn child and wasn't going to pay a dime I didn't have to, or to check something out if I don't know whether I want it. Or for stuff that is no longer available because the IP holder is a complete shithead.

Not that I look down on pirates or even piracy itself, I'm just mostly done doing sketchy, dodgy shit to end up not even owning something.

The FUCK this tranny thinks I'm going to PAY to PIRATE shit? Lmao.

I've been waiting for fucking daemonhunters for fucking ever, so i hope "she" gets off her arse and gets to work soon. New DLC just announced today for it that includes the imperial assassins.

Do consider that you don't own digital software either.

That's exactly it. I left every single private tracker i was in when it quasi became mandatory to pay for a seedbox to have a chance at holding a decent ratio as i see this as paying for piracy, too, i'll rather be a filthy open tracker peasant instead (or blow through as many burner accounts as possible whenever Avistaz has open sign up). Its antithetical to the whole idea of online piracy to ever spend a single cent.

I've been waiting for fucking daemonhunters for fucking ever

Saaaaame, it does my head in that i still haven't gotten around to playing it! I'm at the point where i'd spend money on it but even when it's on sale it was still always more than what i was willing to pay for it.
