And thus the true nature of humanity reveals itself, as it always does. Usually people who experience this go from liberal to conservative. Being liberal requires holding the delusion that people are naturally good.
I think the notion that humans are evil means you must be a conservative is laughable honestly. I’m a communist and I certainly don’t believe humans are naturally good or selfless in any way.
All socialist thought is innately humanist, because collectivism can not work without the assumption that people will at least choose to be good when it’s the easier path, but yes, the idea that because a minority will abuse the system if you let them you must be a conservative is…
holding the delusion that people are naturally good
Nope! Just recognizing the truth that I, within myself, can be better and that I can accept the idea of being taken advantage of by the occasional bad faith actor in exchange for being able to be part of a broader community of people who do the right thing most of the time.
Cynicism is laziness masquerading as intellectualism. It’s the “step 1: give up!” of philosophies.
Disclaimer: i don’t know much about piracy and stuff in general but studied computer science so sharing this just for funsies DO NOT TAKE THIS ADVICE IF YOU ARE SERIOUS!!!
Okay so here it goes:
Buy crypto then use crypto mixers to annonymize it.
Use a webhosting site that accept said crypto.
Use vpn for everything preferably more than one routing from multiple countries like one from west then one from east.
If you can use a vm specifically for everything related to your site to make sure things are contained.
Make sure to not upload from the same id’s as the one you use to create site. Make a user account if you wanna upload anything.
Read up on how other such websites are created to figure out if you are missing something.
well good thing you said to not take this advice because it’s not really good.
Don’t use crypto mixers, a lot of them are scams and their usefullness is up to debate -> instead use monero, the actual private crypto that is used throughout darknet.
Don’t use VPNs to be anonymous. VPN are useful for a few things: torrenting, browsing on a public wifi and bypassing georestrictions. they are not useful if you want to be anonymous! To be anonymous, use TOR (or i2p) 3.the VM advice is good. alternatively you could use TailsOS which is more user friendly.
Don’t. Especially if you need to ask how to do it first.
Cloudflare (American) is a cancer in this case, cause they have an auto-ban feature, which instantly checks hashes of files in a blacklist and warns domain admins with following ban of dashboard. And this not only goes to CSAM.
I wonder if there could be a torrent site that is decentralized enough that no one really has significant liability for running it, like Bittorrent itself but for the indexing/curation aspect.
Don’t get me wrong, even thought I don’t pirate as much as I once did in my younger days I’m super appreciative of the work they do, free mostly if I understand it correctly. But some of the things they say on this nfos (mostly homophobic slurs and name calling) are super out of place, but at the end to each their own lol
I don’t pirate games but after reading this, I DEFINITELY will not pirate games. If these clowns are the ones cracking/repacking the games then I do NOT trust the games to not contain malware/bullshit/whatever. Maybe I’m being paranoid but I wouldn’t go anywhere near software put out by these people. They sound like the types to include malware just to frame the other group or whatever. Idk. These people are morons.
I genuinely do understand concerns about legal issues and the risk of facilitating illegal activities- but its not even hosted on their instance, why would it mater that the communities EXIST. They’re literally hosted by someone else…?
When you subscribe to a community, your home server downloads the content and passes it on to you.
This is not like when The Pirate Bay was allowed to live because it only hosted torrent files and not copyrighted content, in the fediverse, you copy the content to your own server, and pass it on to the client/user, which means hosting the content.
Mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding anymore. I use airvpn and you can just use the native WireGuard (or OpenVPN if you’r crazy) apps on different platforms if you want.
My prime motive for piracy! The current model is exploitative of the artists and must be ushered quickly to its own defeat.
They shouldn’t have to strike until they lose their houses like so many do now. Every year they receive less and less of the profit of their work (and its certainly not because of any excess going to those in need). It’s a shame and an embarrassment on society.
The idea of copyleft is that you give anyone the freedom to do anything with your work, with one essential restriction: they do the same for their changes, derivative works etc. Technically attribution doesn’t have to be part of a copyleft licence, but all copyleft licences I know have a requirement to preserve copyright info.
And yes, it is popular in software (GPL, MPL, EPL), but for other types of works there is CC BY-SA 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike). If you want to copyleft books, images, videos, other forms of text… this is the way to go, IMO.
Some additional remarks, just to clarify:
Copyleft is not “giving up all copyright” - copyleft essentially “plays” the copyright system in a way that makes sure nobody is restricting access to or usage of one’s work. Using the rules of copyright against copyright, if you will.
In some jurisdictions, there is no such thing as “giving up all copyright” or “dedicating something to the public domain”. Best you can do, generally, is giving users all the same/relevant rights.
Most Creative Commons licences are not copyleft, only the ones with a ShareAlike (SA) clause. Some CC licences are also nonfree, meaning they don’t give you all the freedoms to do what you want with the work. The 2 possible nonfree clauses in CC licences are ND (no derivative works) and NC (no commercial use). NC can also be used together with a SA clause, making CC BY-SA (free) and CC BY-NC-SA (nonfree) the two CC copyleft licences.
I recently made a Jamendo account myself, and I already found an album to download (“Show it to your Mother” by Rusty Tea Makers). I find it easier to find music there than on FMA
Only Proton should be recommended for torrenting since it has port-forwarding. I don’t know why people love suggesting these even without port-forwarding.
