Honestly? That's rookie numbers.
Plenty of sites break copyright law and don't get struck, but if you ask how to do it safely, or how to do it legally, you're going to get told how to play it safe.

You can upload content to Archive.org yourself rather than mega and get an extra layer of defense against legal trouble, as you wouldn't be directly responsible for hosting the content. They would take the uploaded item down if they got a DMCA, but mega is more likely to take down the whole folder.
Would also keep the content more accessible long term. Tons of dead mega links all over the internet.
I'd look for old apks for it on places like apk mirror, then look into pulling the assets out of the apk file.
If you're lucky, the music is just sitting in the apk in some standard format like mp3, wav, or ogg.
Likewise, someone else mentioned there are PC versions. You could check for those on various abandonware sites.
You can mitigate (but not entirely stop the technique) by WhatsApp Settings, select Privacy, go to Advanced, and enable “Block unknown account messages.” and also disabling read receipts.
You could also uninstall the app and see if your battery usage reduces, or check in your phone's battery usage statistics for WhatsApp using a lot of it.
Oh god, you don't have any reading comprehension either.
Edit: I told you to read the room in another comment, not the one you responded to here.
"Reading the room" has nothing to do with "laws", lmao. Neither does suggesting better places to post your drivel. You can't possibly be this stupid.
You're free to ignore people telling you to fuck off and post dumb shit like this. We're free to continue to tell you to fuck off.
You're also free to be a drooling idiot trying to claim that the group that doesn't want this shit here is somehow "crying" about it or whatever the fuck you're trying to use as an insult. I see a bunch of people coming together to post the type of shit they want to see, downvoting what they don't, and telling people why.
You're welcome to leave the comm, or create your own one if this space is no longer what you want out of it.
I'm done here. I've got an actual toddler to deal with instead of your concentrated attempts to be one.
Man, fuck Capcom for that shit. Couldn't even be assed to release the fucking demo that was effectively complete. That shit better leak someday.
Sounds like someone's butthurt that other people don't want politics here. Lashing out like this post instead of being able to read the fucking room is pretty childish if you ask me.
Look, if you want some place to post politics, there are countless spaces on lemmy for it.
If you want some place to post nearly anything, 4chan's /b/ could use some more content than endless "share images from social media you wank to" threads. They'd also be far more receptive to your shitty attitude too. But considering you couldn't figure out how to post this without downloading an app, you might just be too stupid to figure it out.
Yes, Librewolf, the browser built entirely off... Firefox.
I appreciate their take vs. Mozilla's, but they wouldn't exist without Firefox in the first place.
A big part of the shift from lemmy to piefed seems to be that piefed has a faster development cadence, and that the developers of lemmy are openly tankies.
The flagship Lemmy instance, as in ran by the devs, is lemmy.ml. The ml stands for marxist-leninist. The lead dev regularly bans people from the entire instance for so much as questioning Chinese and Russian ~~propaganda~~ news sources, and they have many many other very controversial takes. There are some comms across the fediverse that document a lot of this, like !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
From a sticky there, the lead dev Dessalines denies the Tiananmen Square massacre and praises the Uyghur genocide.
So far as I'm aware, the piefed devs haven't been involved in any drama, and aren't posting hardline shit about their political beliefs either.
Preface
I'm not trying to call out the mod action of removing my post from the comm so much as I'm calling out the complete lack of mod action leading to the comm becoming shit and having the current top post by scaled, hot, and active being a post that explicitly targets another lemmy user.
That out of the way... !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world has clearly been slipping from the purpose of the comm for a while now. Most of the posts are actually infuriating and/or political. I understand that what qualifies as either of those can be different for different people, but I feel most of this shit clearly isn't mundane or simple enough to fall under the label of just mildly infuriating.
Here's some examples from the first page right now, sorted by scaled.
While I could have sworn the sidebar had a no politics rule, it doesn't at the time of me writing this up, so politics are arguably acceptable, although I personally feel these all clearly don't match the theme of the community, violating Rule 7.
Sidebar, and expanded rule 7
A few other posts have been made calling this out.
Mod harder and [META] What actually constitutes "mildly infuriating" content?
################################
Beyond all that mess, we have what was the final straw for me.
Rule 1 (and less so 5), and the current top post by scaled, hot, and active.
I cannot accept that a post to mildly infuriating that targets a specific user while not even removing their username is respectful, and I personally consider it harassment (while it may not violate rule 5 as there is no call to action). Removing the username is usually the bare minimum even in the fucking reddit brigading subs, for plausible deniability.
And regardless of whatever arguments can be had about interpretations of the community's specific rules, it's a dick move. Just block the guy. It reminds me of the god awful reddit dogpiling and brigading. I don't want any of that to come to lemmy.
So I reported it, then saw the recent posts asking mods for action that got no response. I then looked at the mods.
- LillianVS@lemmy.world (Aer) has not been active in two years.
- STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world (Striker) has not been active in one year.
- Tenthrow@lemmy.world had not appeared to be active for six days at the time I reported the post, but upon checking the community mod log was likely active two days before (assuming that the other two wouldn't be just lurking and modding for over a year).
So I did something dumb as hell. Roughly an hour after I reported it, I made my own post (now removed from the comm). I find people who make call out posts about others, and the absentee mods allowing it, mildly infuriating. Yeah, childish as shit. What's done is done.
Modlog:
Removed for "doesn't fit community", but what do you folks think? Does it really not fit when the top post is what it is? Personally I think both should be gone, lest that comm descend further into shit.
Either way, now that I have this yell into the void out of me, I'm blocking the comm. Maybe I should have made my post in actually infuriating? (kidding)
That is a threat.
From some back to school flyer.
I have so many great memories from childhood vacations to Mystery Flesh Pit National Park. I cant believe the disaster happened all the way back in 2007.
At least someone has been collecting and documenting everything they can find from the old place: https://www.mysteryfleshpitnationalpark.com/
I still can't make it all the way through the disaster report.
Definitely a repost, but it fits the season

I'm kind of shocked that you feel like you can confidently claim you know this guy's condition and the cause of him not receiving proper care when you had to be told to call 911 for someone fucking convulsing on the ground.
You really tried to sneak that past by front loading with that tangent, lol.
There's a decent handful of conditions beyond brain trauma that can lead to convulsions. Unmedicated epilepsy is a pretty obvious one. Supposedly withdrawals from certain illegal substances as well. Hope the guy is getting help now.
And ask any hospital worker, one of the most frustrating parts of care is that people can and do just walk the fuck out.
