vadapav .mov: Direct Download, no ads or BS, great speeds.... probably the best I'd ever used

Shutdown aside, I find it funny how discord users start with genuine sad emojis, and then POW, eggplant emoji!

piracy is more important now than ever before because fuck american companies, the billionaires that own them, and the american economy.

[–] drake@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I mean, yeah. Why are people even bothering with piracy on regular, HTTP, web sites? Of course it’ll get taken down, and legal action taken against the owner.

We need to teach the younger generations how to torrent shit

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

It got brought down because it shared a server with another service, which was used by some "Epstein friends" to upload you-know-what illegal material and that's what brought it down.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

...aaaand this is why we get a bad rep.

[–] BlackFlagsForever@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

really really HATE you-know-what illegal material. but the frequency it gets brought up online really makes me wonder sometimes if there are really that many sick fucks out there or there are some sick fucks out there but governments like to also claim that it was you-know-what illegal material just so that people will tune it out and not look into things too closely...

I can kinda see govmint doing that kind of thing. specialy since there were all the "for the chidrens" anti-pribacy bills they try to sneak in in the past.

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

You make a good point. I guess I didn't even think of that. Certainly likely.

To be honest, there seem to be many stories of such content, but not so many of such people. And I find that quite interesting. So either they hide themselves well, or there are less of them but they distribute the content widely, or as you said, the gov is simply using it as an excuse.

Specially torrenting safely. In some countries you can get fines for torrenting.

House Season 8 sucks anyway. character development is replaced by stereotypes. can't believe they named her fucking " chi park " and make her repeat tired old republican clichés instead of having actual backstory

("치"라는 한국사람이 없는데 진짜 물고기 같죠 ㅋ)

[–] zaknenou@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

lool I'll accept this as an answer tbh

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Update: I managed to get it. I still haven't even gone through S5, I just had Seasons 5-7 downloaded so I wanted to make sure I have it all. I wasn't the biggest fan of S4 either tbh. So we'll see where things go from here.

Edit: Also, I really appreciate the lack of spoilers!

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

S4-5 were a weird situation. I forget which one, I think 4, but there was a writer's strike when it was made so they had to scramble to wrap up the plotline. And didn't do a great job. There's also an explanation for the weird plot development point later in S5 if you look up what the actor was doing IRL. You'll know what I'm talkin about when you see it.

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

Such a tragedy. But honestly knowing what he did makes it worth it IRL

As an American, I'm scared shitless of a "piracy shield" being implemented here next year like what Italy has now

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll be moving to America next year, I can take your place and you take mine in India.

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I sincerely hope that goes well for you. I doubt Trump will let it happen, he has vowed to deport all the foreigners, but I hope things work out for you

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why am i getting downvoted, did I say something offensive?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Can't answer for anybody else, but from what admittedly limited information I'm aware of there are many reasons I'd not want to move to India - Modi, pollution so bad in places you can hardly see through it at times, rampant ~~huliganism~~ hooliganism, sexism, mobs severely beating/killing people (most not even nearly for "justifiable" causes), high unemployment, castes, people still openly using public streets for restrooms, etc. Doesn't seem like it's any better than the Ununited States of America.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just meant it in context of laxed piracy ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You didn't mention a VPN, so when you said "moving" I naturally thought you meant physically... ...(ツ).../

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I did mean physically as a joke, i didn't think people would take it literally

[–] MaggotInfested@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago

Misspelled hooliganism, sorry.

[–] ancoraunamoka@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 month ago

Because it completely derails the topic without adding anything to the discussion

[–] SmokeFree@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Can still access. This guy used to advertise his website. It's nice way to spread the site lol.

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 13 points 1 month ago

Now that you mentioned it, so can I.

Either it's back to normal, or he struck a deal with the Feds.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

Sooo it's a honeypot now?

[–] Luffy879@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I should really start setting up my Ripped movies on some torrent sites, if only I knew how

[–] lunsjentilanette@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

It's a shame it is impossible to find out :/

[–] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago

Idk about public trackers but you can just upload them on private trackers. If you're not on any private trackers, I am.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

You can send it to me, i can upload to a private tracker and get all the upload goodies.

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It was on the megathread, direct downloads for films and tv shows.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

direct downloads

Never really been my thing

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where is that mega thread?

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

I still use the one on Reddit (courtesy of r/ piracy), but I know there is a mirror of it hosted somewhere else. I just don't have the link for it.
