lud, w Now you have to pay to see lyrics on spotify

It does make sense though since Spotify has to pay musixmatch for the service.

wecalledhimmavis,

who crowdsource a heap of their lyrics, paying a pittance to their curators 🙄

lud,

That’s true. But to be fair, I have added one song and synced a few. I didn’t do it because I wanted pay, I did it because I wanted the song’s lyrics to be on Spotify and on the app.

They built a service and people seem to like it, so I don’t mind.

MrBusinessMan, w Now you have to pay to see lyrics on spotify

Solid business decision by Spotify here, I support this move. I’ll probably switch over to them from YouTube music.

butter,

I know right. What’s Spotify’s goal with this move

Whirlybird,

What’s Spotify’s goal with this move

Get people to pay for premium…

butter,

So someone can ignore the ads, ignore not being able to chose a song, and ignore no download. But having to open musixmatch in a separate app is the straw that broke the camels back

TheMadnessKing,

The idea of suddenly having something taken away fro you really triggers people.

If they had introduced as premium from start, then no would have cared about it.

Whirlybird,

It seems they were right going by how upset people are in here. Many of these people that are carrying on like spoiled children will no doubt subscribe to premium now.

sysgen,

The goal is that now that they’ve been caught pirating lyrics, they have to pay MusixMatch for their lyrics, perhaps on a per request basis, so they lose money by making it available.

What protocol does hTorrent use to communicare with BitTorrent peers? Webtorrent uses WebRtc which is incompatible with most torrent clients today

Even then you might not see them. I’ve noticed recently that a ton of songs that used to have the lyrics attached no longer show the lyrics or have the button to show them. And I do have premium.

s_v,

I noticed that as well, and I, too, have premium

unonessun0centomila,

Meanwhile, I’m sitting here with my pirated apk and I can still see all the lyrics 😂

I wish the article did a better job of exploring the subject. It really only presents one side of the story, here.

nestEggParrot,

It clearly states what he did and on what he was prosecuted. How is it one sided? It doesn’t quote people from either side but rather states facts presumably from court filings.

If you want arguments on how this is bad or why such things shouldn’t be prosecuted, look for an opinion piece. Thats not the job for every news reporting.

Apollo2323, w How do the Debrid services get away from copyright?

This is what I found from a Reddit comment: Debrid services literally are just like if you downloaded from the share website directly, as if you had signed up for an account with them. And/or the debrid service downloads the torrent on their server, and you stream from it.

This is already protecting you from any potential legal issue.

Some people may get warnings/potential legal trouble for torrenting directly, but this is only because when using torrent you also become a hoster of the content yourself. This doesn’t happen with these.

janguv,

Think you’ve missed the point a bit of OP’s comment. They’re asking not how the end-user is protected from copyright claims, but how the debrid service itself is.

Apollo2323,

Yes you are right lol well I hope it was helpful from somebody else.

I guess it would, aside speed, this is another big reason for some users to get it, as a third world country person I couldn’t care less about torrenting, nor data caps now that I remember 🤣

Apollo2323,

Lucky you :)

I’ve got quite a collection of games you can no longer buy,everyone else 🏴‍☠️

Rayspekt,

I would love to get Ruse on Steam, man.

morbidcactus,

Wait that’s not on steam anymore? Is there an easy way to find what in your library can’t be purchased anymore?

crisinho,

Yeah, it was the same for me. I loved playing the demo on the PS3 back in the days. You can actually get it from key resellers which is what I did. However, I think they sell for about 80€ or so which is insane. I thought it was expensive when I bought it for 30€.

Guess where Nintendo puts a lot of money into lobbying… hint: it ain’t China…

platysalty, w Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from Steam

No worries Ubi, I already did the thing ;)

Sibbo, w Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from Steam

Yeah but why? Does it cost money to keep the game available?

BearJCC,

Opportunity cost, possibly. They might be remastering it and wish to sell it at a higher cost, or think they can get more money through a different retailer.

GunnarRunnar,

That game seems pretty loved, I wouldn't be that surprised about a remaster. Though it would have to be a pretty barebones if it can't compete with a ten year old release.

WarmSoda, (edited )

A lot of publishers remove the original game when they release a ‘remaster’. Burnout Paradise, Metro Last Light, etc

whodoctor11,
@whodoctor11@lemmy.ml avatar

Perhaps to make people pay for the new one.

520,

That makes no sense. Black Flag is a completely different genre to modern AC.

whodoctor11, (edited )
@whodoctor11@lemmy.ml avatar

Didn’t you read the post? They are probably doing a remaster or remake and don’t want people to buy the old version…

520, (edited )

That would only make sense if you a) had a competing product on the market or b) at the very least actually announced one. The remaster/remake is a mere rumour, we don't even know if there's substance behind it.

@hyorvenn@jlai.lu avatar

Hosting your game on steam is indeed not free, and the price can vary greatly. It may not be the reason of the removal though

Haha, they're pulling Black Flag so so that Skull & Bones has less competition.

redditReallySucks,
@redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Plot twist: they’re renaming Skull and Bones to Black Flag remastered

XTornado,

Nah… I would guess a remaster or something at some point. The skull&bones game has been dead for a long time…they will release it as they legally have to…but they will not give a crap after.

DJDarren, w Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from Steam

I saw my wife playing this years ago, and always fancied having a go, but never got around to it.

So a few months back we got it going so it could stream to our Apple TV and off I went. Spent a few weeks playing it in the evenings and having a nice time.

Then Ubisoft put out an ‘update’ to it, that broke it completely. A massive update for a ten year old game. Cunts.

So I guess I’ll never finish it, because fuck Ubisoft.

SaintWacko,

Wait, seriously? I haven’t finished it either! What broke?

GunnarRunnar,

Not really an advocate for piracy but I wouldn't have any qualms about recommending that route to you.

ivanafterall,

It feels very much in the spirit of the game.

ours,

Is it piracy? He owns a license for the game.

Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?

520, (edited )

Is it piracy? He owns a license for the game.

Technically it's not.

They don't even need a new copy of the game, just the cracked .exe file.

Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?

Arguably so, as they did not get the scene group's permission to redistribute their works.

Draedron,

Just pirate it

Psythik,

I wouldn’t stress it; you didn’t miss much. Like every modern Ubisoft title, the game was very repetitive. You had enough playtime to see everything the game had to offer.

killabeezio, w [HELP] Setting up a Jellyfin server with different (remote) storage servers

Not sure where you got the idea that it’s not advisable to mount the box via NFS. You can totally do this. I would make some adjustments though.

I would use mergerfs to union multiple mounts into one. You would then download to the local mount which is the drive connected directly to your seed box. Then I would have a remote mount to the nfs mount. You merge these into one so that when you link up jellyfin, it won’t know the difference and you can just stream like normal.

You need to copy files from the local drive to the remote, so you can try and roll your own solution by using rclone or use something like cloudplow which solves this issue as well. Cloudplow uses rclone as well, but monitors for changes automatically.

As far as copying files, why are you using sync anyway? It’s pretty dangerous. Just use move or copy instead. This way you don’t need to keep copies on your computer and the server.

As far as streaming from the nfs mount. You may need to make some changes to the cache settings and ensure they are set correctly.

With a setup like that, you should have no problems though.

Anyone who still financially supports Ubisoft is at their own fault at this point.
