I just taught my coworkers how to pirate shit. Fuck Disney.
Best of luck with your endless tech support anytime something doesn’t work.
This was like two years ago and I’ve never had an issue. Have some faith in humans.
This right here is what keeps me from charging for Jellyfin access.
This ties into the comment I was going to make separately. For context, my dad recently passed. First father’s day without him. My mom asked to watch a movie that meant something to the both of them because they saw it together in a drive in on release and it was very memorable because the technology and techniques used were fascinating at the time. She complained that it wasn’t on Disney+ or anywhere.
You may have guessed it, but she requested Song of the South. One serious moral quandary later, I got it ready for her to watch.
Tomorrow is gonna be rough, but at least my sailing might bring some good memories for her.
Sending lots of love to you and your family.
That is a great movie. Don’t let social justice warriors tell you it’s not. Sorry to hear about your dad.
Just give them a usb of the show for Christ’s sake! Sneaker net that shit. Which show btw?
I tried that once. They never watched the show and didn’t give back the USB. 🙁
Welcome to Wrexham.
Not the kind of guy who’d watch something from a USB. Technically not a co-worker but a former co-worker, because he retired a couple of years ago.
I did this for a coworker not too long ago.
I think it was for Firefly…
They gave the USB drive back too. Win-win
nah teach a man how to fish!
Isn’t that too risky though? That can be an evidence when argued in the court
If your coworkers are the level of douche bag that they might take you to court, then probably don’t even talk about your favorite show with them
It’s not necessarily deliberate. Your coworkers could be distributing the copy to someone else and police’s gonna find out where it comes from
I almost envy the place where this is the kind of shit police are able to worry about.
I don’t know where you’re from but in my country, police are cyber-patrolling (lol) to hunt down
illegal contents.Edit: I remember it’s a piracy community
I would think that cyber ops would be more concerned with fraud, underage sexual content, sexual predators… That kind of stuff.
Usually the MPAA sues people for distributing video content, and in many places, they’re not super aggressive about it.
If they are going after sneaker net distribution, this is the most inefficient use of resources ever! As a taxpayer I would be outraged to hear about something like this. I can’t imagine this being an issue outside of N. Korea
A lot of risk narcing on someone irl
Or from the other side, taking a random ass USB stick from someone you barely know? Nah. Who the hell knows what it could be infested with.
On the open meadows of the freeinternet,
where the gentle breeze touches all equally,
where the people are friends,
and the money is spent on FOSS devs & smol gaming studios.Beautiful 😍
Jellyfin!
it’s on ploob
yes that is what I was referencing
Oh… well then you spelled your made up parody word wrong :/
I did not, it was a dual-reference.
Oh, ok. Whats the other reference too?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Oh i love Doug, alright nice dual reference dude 👍
Great, now I’ll never not notice how many brand names are baby sounds
It used to be on ploob, but season 3 is only on nimbo now.
If you can’t proudly say your pirating sure you need to find a new friend group
Well they said “co-worker”, I can understand not divulging that in a workplace.
Eh fuck it, what are they going to do, call the FBI on me? Employer certainly doesn’t care.
Highly dependent on workplace. Many with govt contracts could feel an obligation to punish this.
My employer is the government
Plot twist: dude works at Disneyflix :D
“An ex-Netflix engineer’s take on piracy; in a YouTube drama near you”
My da has a mate who’s literally a peeler and was showing him his piracy set-up. His mate was also talking about his.
I’ve never worked an office job that wasn’t pirating software openly and somewhat proudly when pointed out
It’s just that they have no idea how to answer the question
I just honestly answer that I don’t know.
“yeah the service is called piracy and you should use a VPN”
Seriously, my coworkers pirat more stuff than i do… Some even for work…
That’s what shocked me at work. I’ve been pirating since limewire and then comes this 40-something Y/O mom, not even nerdy or computer savvy or something, and gives a performance like she’s already found the OnePirce and wanted to be the next Anne Bonny.
XD my boss has a list of stuff explicitly allowed to pirat for work because the license is stupidly expensive and we only need it once a leap year.
I borrowed it from an acquaintance on Internet :D
Fell off this passing truck that was carrying shows and movies!
“Oh, I download it from well known and respected torrent sites. All the services I might use are crap.”
Depends on how cool they are
Right, exactly. The alternative to this meme is offering them access to my Plex server.
Me: The internet ;) ;)
I get this almost daily, my whole family and several friends know I’m good at recommending things to them so they always go to me to ask what to watch. I’ve had to start looking up and writing down where each movie and show is available “normally”. I have no issue saying I get everything via other means but whem it became a thing where people started asking “can you also look up where it’s available” just because it’s not always easy to figure that out and they knew I didn’t know and generally find it quicker than them.
It’s more difficult in Europe. For example, when South Park: Post Covid released on Paramount+ in the US, there was no legal way to steam it in Germany or Austria AFAIR. And these are not exactly third-world countries.
Sounds like a business model to me. if i didn’t pirate everything i’d sign up anyway
“Channel BitTorrent” is my reply
BitTorrent+
The Pirate Bay - free streaming service
The Pirate Bay
Its pretty outdated these days
In what way? I use it from time to time to get movies and series. Is there any downside compared to other methods?
Genuine question, I’m not too familiar with the pirate world beyond pirate bay.
It just doesn’t have that many files anymore, since not that many people use it. 1337x.to is more popular now
