This hasn't been true for a while. Unless you are constantly looking for only the most mainstream stuff, huge swathes of material is lost with every shutdown, especially now that the costs of servers and storage have quadrupled.
The idea of piracy being invincible is a myth from a different internet era along with old patterns like "platforms spring up and die constantly".
Yeah, in the 2000s that was true - but the main platforms we have today have been around for 20 years and have a stranglehold on users. The internet logic of the aughts no longer holds.
Kinda ironic that russian and iranian sites are the ones most likely to survive current purges. No wonder they're almost impossible to find when using most western search engines
qbitorrent's built in search, my dearest
also yandex search, from russia, with love
If it weren’t for piracy, the Internet would not exist
Well, it would, but it was still very much to look like the ARPANET, because, otherwise, it would have no reason to exist
I always thought porn was the catalyst.
SSSHHH!!!!!
Seriously! Shut the fuck up!!!
What are you trying to do? Bring the entire 21st century crashing in on itself?
¡SILENCIO PUTA!
That’s what the internet is for. Porn.
"Sorry, Kate!"
"I masturbate!"
Otoh AI wouldn't exist either.
Mmmm, I think it would, too, but we’d knowingly still call it LLMs and use it both responsibly and accordingly.
Yeah, everything would be a lot more boring, but boring is good. People can afford to eat when things are boring. Socialized healthcare is boring.
Wonderfully boring. Like bike lanes and city-funded daycare.
Given recent events, all cloud-based LLMs should have been included here. In the history of humanity, there has never been a more profitable piracy operation.
I may as well just ask here, I would love to have a digital copy of a specific book, but I'm struggling to find it on Annas or Zlib. It's very academic but also quite new. I do not have access through the university and I'm not finding it on scihub yet either. Are there like, places where people can request academic titles or something? You can dm me if you want!
For academics journals, supposedly you can just ask the author for a copy, with a decent sucess rate. That's probably significantly less likely to work for a whole book.
Being a new book, it could be a while before it becomes "available". Someone has to be both interested in the topic enough to buy the book, and willing to upoad it somewhere. I'd say this could be your chance to contribute to the high seas, but academic books are expensive.
The Italian government is strange because it goes only against pirated football TV streaming. They completely ignore all the other forms of piracy.
false. they allow high seas piracy in the Mediterranean. a nation has been kidnapping civilians in international waters, torturing them, and no European nation gives a fuck.
going after other kinds is how you end up with naples covered in trash again
In ukraine, piracy is technically illegal, but nobody cares and its not enforced. In 2022 after full scale invasion, ukraine banned most popular russian piracy websites as a "sources of propaganda". Absolutely nothing has been done to foreign and especially local services.
I imagine the Ukrainian government has more pressing issues than copyright law at the moment.
in south africa piracy is also technically illegal
but I only heard of one case of someone being prosecuted
someone was filesharing a locally produced film and the director sued
that was over a decade ago, and there might have been other cases where people were prosecuted for digital piracy since
but uh... someone I know... has been rawdogging torrents for years, no VPN, no fancy router settings or whatever
zero complaints from Hollywood nor ISPs
I doubt the police service will bother doing anything about it anytime soon
"Okay, today we could either monitor the TCP traffic of some guy downloading terabytes of copyrighted adult films... or we could go stop a gang shootout and do some state brutality to innocent citizens on the way back..."
"...last one to the squad car has to use that old R4 with the fucked barrel!"
I thought this was SBA for a sec
