So it is a collection of the best pirate sites?
- accountofthaha 9mo agoCollection goes into my blocklist for at home. Pirating is theft. Pirating is inhumane.
- port11 9mo agoSure buddy. Price-gouging consumers, regional lock-ins, paying creators a tiny %, revoking licenses, using public funds to make for-profit media, etc., these are all humane and chill.
- accountofthaha 9mo agoThis is the result of the laws put in place, and yes they should be changed. That doesn't make pirating morally or legally justified. 'Because he is bad I can be bad too' is morally wrong.
- asm0dey 9mo agoOr maybe it does. For some of us
- port11 9mo agoI understand your point, but the laws in place are heavily decided by the lobbyists and cartels that pad the pockets of politicians. If the system is unfair or immoral, playing by its rules doesn’t make things any better. I’m not saying “hey, go steal from content creators”. I studied multimedia and was a content creator myself. I pay for many of my media, but draw the line somewhere, e.g. do I think Disney deserves my money…
- accountofthaha 9mo ago"I don't think Disney deserves money". And that, in my eyes, makes it morally incorrect. They are the copyright holder, or a lot of times the creator. They thus deserve the income. They being evil doesn't make your evil correct.
- port11 9mo agoDisney is notorious and indefensible in their appropriation of works that were not copyrighted, lobbying for extending copyright duration and reach, and even violating copyright themselves. All this without going into the vast and comprehensive criticism that can be levied against Disney. If you agree with their business antics and that they legally and ethically hold copyright rights to all their work, then I propose you pay them indeed. That’s fair. But then we’ll disagree on these terms, not whether I’m evil for not paying them.
- account42 8mo agoDon't forget DRM. That alone breaks the societal contract of copyright.
- lousken 9mo agoWhat if the content is not available in your country? You can't steal what you can't buy.
- account42 8mo agoCorrect, pirating is bad. Copyright infringement on the other hand is kewl.
- pelagicAustral 9mo agoIt is to me, faved.
- jug 9mo agoPretty much, yeah. Those they can't get to despite efforts.
- EbNar 9mo agoLet me write those down, to be sure no to go there by mistake.
- blell 9mo ago[flagged]
- aucisson_masque 9mo agoI don’t know why you think this is an edgy comment, I’m actually screenshotting it to take a look tomorrow at the links. I’ve seen Anna archive and SCI hub which are extremely useful, if it helps finding more gems I’m all for it !
- glenstein 9mo agoIt read that way to me too. It's the familiar switcheroo/hoist by their own petard/ironic one-upping move, a routine as well known to the internet as ape behavior is to Jane Goodall.
- echelon_musk 9mo agoYou're screenshotting URLs to type out?
- bigiain 9mo agoI do that on my phone. It's almost as easy to tap an ocr-ed url in my photos app as it is to click a link on a web page. (On my laptop, I'm just as likely to spend half a day writing a scraper or reverse engineering the javascript and apis to collect a dozen or two urls that I should have just jotted down in my notebook...)
- lostlogin 9mo agoThis is probably the best innovation in the last decade as far as I’m concerned. It has conquered the 20 digit WiFi password in 6 font.
- NL807 9mo agowhy type, when you can copy and paste text from images these days??
- SSLy 9mo agoNo, it isn't so. It misses even the most notorious yet still private sites
- MomsAVoxell 8mo agoSuch as?
