jsnc, w Playing pirated video games on Linux

Bottles as flatpak is an amazing way to run windows dependent software isolated from your main system. Flatpak will automatically bundle Wine and 32 bit library runtimes and bottles packages in DXVK (no need to enable multilib). If you use ProtonUPQT you can even get the bleeding edge GE wine as a runner for your programs in bottles.

I pirate because Steam is a garbage program for playing games and Valve is an evil company. So I pay for games in Steam but will just pirate a Non DRM-Non steam affiliated copy of the game to backup on my own local storage.

Dont be mad at me but I bought the game from GOG :)

They will once they receive a DMCA takedown. Don’t become part of the problem.

This shit is why copyright companies are trying to ruin the Internet Archive. Just upload torrents or use mega.

bblfrnz, w CS.RIN.RU's Gdrive links are down and no longer accessible. Is it just limited to that site or did google do something and screw GDrive for Piracy ?

Just look at the Rui’s signature on the forum since most of uploads were his:

Well, it had to happen eventually. All the google drive uploads from my account are now inaccessible, due to me refusing to pay 10x more for unlimited storage, and consequently Google forcing authorization request for each and everyone of the links. It was great while it lasted. I’ll leave the google drive bypass method here nonetheless, who knows, might be useful one day.

There are better file hosts out there than archive.org

Why not use something else? I know what community this is but still. Internet Archive serves a lot of important purposes and they’ve got enough heat on their back as is.

Seytoux, w CS.RIN.RU's Gdrive links are down and no longer accessible. Is it just limited to that site or did google do something and screw GDrive for Piracy ?

Yup, I saw this yesterday, now apparently for what I can see they are trying to minimize bandwidth downloads and mass sharing of files by the account having to give one by one authorization to everyone that wants to access a file

It’s even worse apparently. Apparently someone looked at where the coins are going, and the coins are going to the 1337x admins, and the uploader is just getting a cut of those coins. Which explains why the admins are unlikely to really care because they’re profiting off their users.

I have severe trust issues with any kind of pirated software so I basically never download it as a result, and shit like this is why. Even private trackers and “trusted” groups aren’t enough for me to download most software.

Steeve,

Do you have any evidence of that?

For anyone who’s wondering, I saw within the first few hours there were comments mentioning the weird installer and malware fuckery. The account was VitaminX which I think has since been deleted EDIT THE ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN DELETED. Screenshots xposted from a different forum VitaminX user card

For gog games you can check the digital signature on the installer to make sure it’s legit. It should be signed by GOG.

They will delete it if they get a DMCA takedown request, as required to avoid liability under US law. They don’t however proactively look for copywriten content. As long as the music owner doesn’t care or doesn’t notice it will be fine.

If you aren’t scanning every software you download, whether a pirate torrent or normal direct download, that’s kinda your own fault

BastingChemina, w [HN] Will Browsers Be Required by Law to Stop You from Visiting Infringing Sites?

ainsi mieux protéger nos enfants

This is to protect our children of course.

As usual, so anyone who is against this law can be depicted as someone who is supporting pedopornography.

IAccidentallyCame,

Yep, the other go to is calling people right wing extremists.

figaro,

I don’t like the idea of conflating falsely accusing people of being a pedophile with calling someone out for holding harmful right-wing beliefs.

The first (saying someone is supporting pedophiles) is oftentimes used as a method to support bans on anti-encryption technology. It is a bad-faith justification for harmful and 1984 type legislation.

The second, however, is an argument used by right wing extremists to justify hate speech.

To be clear - I’m not saying the government should mandate a ban on conservative media. I’m just saying that as a normal citizen, it is a justified, non-harmful act to call people with harmful right-wing beliefs ‘right wing extremists.’

I don’t like the idea of conflating falsely accusing people of being a pedophile with calling someone out for holding harmful right-wing beliefs.

Here in the states, among common harmful right-wing beliefs is the assertion of calling LGBT+ folk groomers, especially when protesting trans folk existing.

The use of bad-faith child safety and child victimization rhetoric to push questionable legislation, especially targeting general privacy or the rights of marginalized groups is so prevalent that it dwarfs by order of magnitude actual child welfare interests (like healthcare access, free school lunches and bullying in schools)

So I’d be skeptical of any rhetoric that asserts a policy might protect children.

I’d also be skeptical of IAccidentallyCame’s good faith regarding right wing rhetoric. As the world’s plutocratic elite runs out of lies to justify the hierarchies that keep them in power, right-wing rhetoric, including hate speech, is on the rise as a last defense against general unrest. They would rather the world literally burn than give up their wealth and power.

Oh, and the world is literally burning.

figaro,

Yeah I intentionally didn’t go through their post history. Don’t have time for that lol. I mostly wrote that out for anyone who read his post and thought maybe there wasn’t a counter argument to what he said.

acastcandream,

His comparison is the definition of a bad faith, shoehorned argument, and exactly the kind of trash i was hoping to not see much of on beehaw.

IAccidentallyCame,

It was a good faith comment, I’m merely pointing out another tactic that the powers that be try to use to discredit people. I’m not comparing pedophilia allegations against being called a far right extremist. I’m just pointing out it’s a separate tactic.

I guess I wasn’t too clear on that, wasn’t expecting these sorts of replies.

Valmond,

Do you have an example though?

I mean I know about using being a murderer, terrorist apologist, pedophile being used in bad faith, when was someone touting “if you are against this law, you’re a rightwing extremist” in bad faith?

acastcandream,

I guarantee you being called a pedophile vs “too far right“ or even a “right wing extremist” will yield incredibly different results in a crowded room. This is an absurd comparison.

IAccidentallyCame,

Yes, I agree. My point was left v. Right or anything like that. I was just pointing out that it’s another label I’ve seen thrown out label I’ve seen thrown out there in the last few years when trying to discredit people.

I guess my point didn’t come off they way I meant it looking at all of these replies.

acastcandream,

Because you compared being called a pedophile to being called too conservative.

Hillock, w Piracy in China

Yes it's possible. Their version of Google Drive (Pan Baidu) is basically a paradise for piracy. But it's a bit of a pain in the ass for foreigners to get access. And obviously everything is in Chinese.

China doesn't care about foreign held copyright. So anything that isn't owned by a Chinese company is fair game. As long as it isn't considered banned material of course.

Interesting, thanks for the information.

It reminds me that I had read that Russia doesn’t care about foreign copyright either, and it makes sense.

And by extension, North Korea?

redcalcium,

Watching foreign movies is illegal north korea. They might not care about the right holders, but they certainly care about not letting their citizen watch foreign movies.

BaiduYun's a paradise to host pirated content but not to download. The free tier fucking limits you to double digit KBs per second and the Chinese government will arrest you if you create a script that simply uses aria2 to circumvent that (contrary to many of these Chinese arrest rumors this actually happened).

NaturallyAsh, w Personally confused on how to use a Raspberry Pi to pirate properly

I just bought a Pi and set this up a couple of weeks ago. I turned my Pi into a NAS using OMV 6 (Open Media Vault - free), installing docker compose and qbittorrent in OMV, also installed gluetun docker in OMV, and then added my, opened a port in AirVpn, and added the port to gluetun and set the network_mode argument in qbittorrent to my gluetun container. Now qbittorrent only connects to my vpn. OMV has extensive documentation for setting it and docker compose up, and the OMV community forum is extremely active.
