Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Nintendo's own Public Relations (PR) department has issued today an email to several outlets and partners regarding a ruling from the French Supreme Court against the french hosting website 1fichier.com.

Within the contents of that email, Nintendo states that the French Supreme Court ruled in their favour on February 26th against 1fichier due to the website being known for hosting pirated content from Nintendo, holding 1fichier liable for failing to provide proper anti-piracy measures after Nintendo previously notified and demanded DSTORAGE, the operators behind 1fichier, to take the pirated content down.

Additionally, 1fichier (and any other French or European hosting website) should remove or block access to illegal content, and if the provider fails to do so, the hoster will be held liable to pay compensation to the right holders from whose copyright has been infringed, closing with the statement that "sharehosting providers like 1fichier are not a safe heaven for storing and sharing illegal content".

Their caption "look, it's all my favorite streaming services on one platform!" Is probably better than mine lol

Does BTDigg is down ? I was searching something today and BTDigg was inaccessible.

I ask this because whilst *arr apps supposedly import downloaded torrents to their respective media folders, my downloads folder for qbittorrent is over 200GB in size when I've got zero incomplete downloads.

Have I set something up wrong? Or is it setting some kind of hard link between the downloads and media folder?

I have around of 16TB free space on hard drives and also a 1Gbps line, what can I seed to make the most impact, and I also seed geocities.archiveteam. Would love to seed more of not private trackers content.

thats it :( im outside usa if that matters

I've seen there's an app on FDroid but it does not really work anymore, are there alternative ways?

(Interested for mobile/Android mostly)

Edit: turns out .su seems to work, while .to doesnt

I'm noticing that about half the time I try to download music from lucida, it fails reporting:

uh-oh!

An error occurred. JSON.parse: unexpected
character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

To test it, I tried:

1. different download sources (qobuz, deezer, tidal etc.)
2. different qualities/encodings (opus, flac, original etc.)
3. random different songs/albums (and even downloading tracks individually)
4. using different devices

But still it fails. Do they have issues with the accounts they use to download the tracks or is it something else? This kind of issue tends to be fixed a few hours later.

I'm trying now for quite some time but didn't find a solution. Any tips welcome!

@Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ I've been using rutracker so far for multichannel music (5.1 etc.) but was wondering if there are better dedicated private tracker for multichannel/high quality music?

This marks the first release of the app since 2022! Read more about the update and obstacles we overcame to make this happen in the blog post.

Call me paranoid but why do the staff on a lot of private trackers seem so interested in what other trackers you have accounts with?

Most of the time when you apply with a new tracker or have to re-apply due to inactivity it feels like you're being interrogated by the feds.

From the perspective of a private tracker, why are they so pushy about that? And can they know if you're lying?

The implication seems like, "we all talk to each other and if you lie to me you lose all of your accounts".

Good day, I used to use the Filecrypt extractor tampermonkey script https://update.greasyfork.org/scripts/414903/FileCrypt%20Extractor.user.js to get a list of links out of filecrypt pages. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know an alternative other than dCrypt?

I know YouTube is a terrible provider of pirated content and also that it is almost impossible to pirate without a VPN, but I would like to know: if I download a movie from YouTube (directly from it, of course) without a VPN, will I receive "that type of message" from my ISP?

🤡

Been out of the piracy scene for a bit, maybe about 6 months to a year, as I basically have been good with the streaming services I already sign up for. But this past week I've rebuilt my setup (my mini server died), and tested it by trying to torrent something yesterday just to make sure I still can, and I noticed Torrent Galaxy was down. Then I saw some articles that it's been down a lot lately. Does anyone know what's going on? Or was it fine and it was just something on my side, like a DNS issue?

I hope it's fine because that was the best public tracker I knew. For example, the show I was looking for to test my setup with couldn't be found on 1337x (TPB ended up coming through but I don't trust that site as much as I used to). Are they really cracking down on public tracker indexes right now? Have any good alternatives popped up yet? Is there anything we as a community can do to get around or resist these efforts?

I'm not even a diehard pirate, I like the efficiency and user friendliness of paid services or products, I just like it to be an option when I want to punish companies for customer unfriendliness (ex: I stopped paying for Netflix when they prevented sharing outside of household), and without public trackers the hobby feels too niche and exclusive.

This is the link to a free trial video: https://plus.rtl.de/video-tv/serien/die-unvermittelbaren-mit-martin-ruetter-882892/staffel-2-930427/episode-6-das-grosse-wiedersehen-932203

The browser log shows a bunch of request for different .m4s files. I assume the premium stuff would behave the same but I would like to know if I can rip that before I go for a trial version

When I download games from FitGirl (using qBittorrent and Mullvad) it wont seed. When I download Movies/Music it always seeds. Is FitGirl not taking Seeds or is there a problem with Mullvad? Thanks in advance, I dont want to be a leech and want to make sure I do my part.

I want to be able to understand how to setup a Jellyfin Media Server stack. I get the general gist of some of the tools and know how to use qBittorent with Express VPN bound to it and barely got a basic Jellyfin server setup and connected to my Smart TV but that's where my knowledge ends.

I've read there is so much more that can be done with the *Arrs, Docker, Jellyfin Plug-Ins and other tools but so many resources I look into are geared towards Linux not Windows so it gets confusing.

I'm looking for references to "Noob" guides for setting EVERYTHING up from square one. Things like how to layout your data effectively, understanding and using Docker for Windows if appropriate, best settings for the programs, essential Jellyfin plug-ins, renaming & scraping data for files, how manually downloaded torrent files are handled, if a stack can handle "ripped" files, etc.

Any helpful guidance would be most appreciated. Thanks kindly!
