theshatterstone54, w Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from Steam

I pirated it anyway. I owned a PS4 copy, pirated it on PC, played on both and greatly enjoyed myself both times, and sold the copy to second hand reseller (Cex) that I buy all my games from. I neevr pay full price and never support the industry. The only digital copies of games I have are either ones that were free for a time, or ones that are free forever. Until the gaming industry stops releasing half-finished products, and stops overworking their employees, I will keep on not passing my financial support their way.

As a Spotify Artist, I bet I don’t even see a single hundredth of a penny for somebody paying extra for the lyrics, either…

And even if Spotify did pay out extra for lyrics, I’m sure they’d find a way to screw my band out of royalties like they currently are anyway.

Interestingly the game is downloading for me. I have had it in my library for some time now.

Is it saying its been pulled for new sales only?

apprehensively_human,

Pulling a game from the steam store does not stop people from downloading it if already in their library.

freeman,

Ah. That makes sense.

this is one of the reasons i’m afraid to visit japan. not just immigration.

and btw, fair use isn’t a thing over there IIRC. not that would had mattered as gameplay recordings are very derivative.

They’re still visible with the current xmanager version

Bloodyashes,

Yeah but the change is server sided so it will stop working soon I suppose.

crag,

No. Xmanager patch unlocks premium features. So literally you’re a premium user.

iamroot,

It depends on whether the feature is server-side restricted. For example, xManager can’t set audio quality to very high.

As I mention further in the thread, I am a premium Spotify user and they have been removing lyrics from songs that used to have them recently. It may not matter if you have the features or not, if they’re just going to be removing the lyrics anyway. Which makes it even shittier that they would advertise it as a premium feature, just for users to subscribe and find out none of the songs they want lyrics for have them anymore.

I’ve been using nextdns.io with great success. It let’s you customise your settings and gives you a personal URL to paste into your private DNS

I also use a Hetzner Storagebox for my Jellyfin instance, I mount it via SMB. Works great.

I hope this gets ported to Windows. I use Linux, but many of my friends don’t and won’t.

It seems to be the trend countries and companies pushing harder against piracy.

Seeing somebody play a game is piracy?

aPirate,

Yeah its unfortunate that copyright law is abused so easily and often. Seems like it depends from case to case, one time its fine the next its not.

Audio or video? Depending on if your group of choice allows audio taping there is always etree.

kambusha, w DAZN's Early Piracy Targets May Include U.S. Govt. Domain Seizure Survivors * TorrentFreak

The frustrating part is that I have DAZN, but because they don’t have rights to all the competitions I’m interested in, I still have to pirate to watch them. If I had a menu and could choose competitions and even buy one-off games at-will (at a reasonable price), I wouldn’t resort to pirating at all for sports.

odium,

Same thing with movies and tv shows. I have prime, but it is missing a lot.

csolisr, w Japanese YouTuber convicted of copyright violation after uploading Let’s Play videos

Japan has one of the most draconian copyright laws in the world. You can’t even rent your own books or disks unless the copyright holder allows for it. I’ve been puzzled at the fact that they have allowed Let’s Plays (and memes and remixes and doujin works for that matter) for such a long time.
