You should support content creators.

-> Ok, agreed. Let's buy instead of using piracy.

Now, there are thousands of streaming apps, and one movie streams on App X while another streams on App Y.

-> Ok, let's subscribe to 3 or 4 apps.

You should watch two 1-minute ads every 15 minutes and continue paying for your subscription.

-> Why the hell should I pay and still watch ads? There are thousands of ways I can watch those movies for free, but I'm choosing to pay, and now you're showing me ads too?

I didn’t choose piracy, piracy chose me. Today, I bought a VPN and unsubscribed from all the streaming apps. I still have enough money to build a PC and host Jellyfin.

I'm sure a lot of us here have gotten pretty good at scouring the internet for things, but if you are anything like me occasionally you just come up short.

I'm interested in hearing what weird or obscure things people have looked for and been unable to find.

For me, its MTV's The Challenge Season 8 & 9

Max pulled some shows off of their site a couple years back, namely being infinity train. But I went onto max today only to find that some of cartoon network’s biggest shows in the past 10-15 years have been erased from max. The biggest ones I could find were the amazing world of gumball, regular show, and Steven universe.

I’ve been kind of on and off pirating stuff, mainly anime, but now I’m probably just gonna drop my max subscription and pirate my Cartoon Network shows. The only non piracy alternative I’ve found for most of these were Hulu, and that’s, well, Hulu. I’m gonna be looking for some sites to find these shows soon, especially since fall’s here and max also pulled over the garden wall :(

When I was a kid, around the around the turn of the millennium, me and my older brother took our satellite box and card to get "serviced" at a sketchy roadside bar/game room on the highway. His friend was working for the cable company at the time but he was somehow able to obtain a new satellite dish, install it in a discreet location and aim it (maybe he worked for them before.)

We got thousands of channels (pretty much everything they offered) and every single pay-per-view movie channel unlocked.

For a while I was the cool kid at school who was somehow able to get VHS copies (later DVD copies after we got a burner) of new movies way before the were on Hollywood Video's shelves.

Every few months the satellite company would alter something and our box or card would have to be re-cracked or replaced. Then one day in 2004 the bar closed for good and has long since been demolished. and we were left with nothing but antenna crap, so we got DSL and I discovered P2P for the first time (eMule).

My spanish teacher told us we're going to need to get a online interactive textbook, and I thought this was worth buying until I realized it was 140 DOLLARS. I'll see you all on the high seas once again.

Hey there r/Piracy, my name is Wamy, and just about a year ago I introduced TorBox.app, the all-in-one download platform. TorBox allows you to download torrents, from Usenet, and from file hosters. TorBox is meant to be a safer, easier, faster and more affordable alternative to current debrids and even seedboxes.

We recently had some insane improvements including:

  • 80Gbps download servers running on pure NVME.
  • Usenet access for Pro users.
  • Improved debrid and web downloading with better and more support for file hosters.
  • Many new and improved integrations.

Combined with our previous notable features such as:

  • Private torrent seeding.
  • Hundreds of TBs of cached content already available.
  • An amazing Stremio addon for you to enjoy.
  • Many ways to transfer files out of TorBox such as downloading as a zip archive, uploading to Google Drive, Mega, 1Fichier, Mega and more to come.
  • Account sharing allowed, multiple IPs allowed (why would this even be a restriction?)

Our amazing service is “Real-Debrid on steroids” (a quote from an actual customer!) all offered for free, with paid options to access even more features. 

Speaking of our paid plans, all plans are 30% off! You don’t even need to use a coupon! This amazing price is recurring for as long as your subscription is maintained.

How have I only heard of this "course busters" group(15k strong) until now? Matter of fact I only found out about this when I googled an alternative to online-courses club and saw an old reddit post with an obscure link to this. Is anyone here an old member of this group? Are y'all not allowed to talk about this? I'm looking through it now and it's brimming with rare courses that's easy to download and not anywhere else (even cgpeers).

Also the reason I made this post is I wanted to ask if any of you are also hiding treasure troves of useful content in telegram groups and hasn't shared it because no one bothered to ask.

Seems like people are making it seem more serious than it is. Still, they almost made most of their users angry

Mozilla says that it has reviewed the extension and found violations. The following claims were made:

• The extension is not asking for consent for data collecting.

• The extension contains "minified, concatenated or otherwise machine-generated code".

• There is no privacy policy.

As a consequence, Mozilla disabled the extension on the Firefox Add-ons Store.

Raymond Hill refuted all three claims that Mozilla made on the GitHub repository stating that the extension is not collecting any data, that there is no minified code in uBlock Origin Lite, and that there is a privacy policy.

He admitted further that he does not "have the time or motivation to spend time on this nonsense" and won't react to the allegations made or appeal the decision.

In a follow-up, Hill criticized the "nonsensical and hostile review process" that put added burden on developers. Mozilla disabled all versions of the extension except for the very first one. It still flagged the extension for the very same reasons, but nevertheless decided to keep the outdated version up.

Mozilla realizes its blunder, but it seems too late

Mozilla contacted Hill a few days later, likely after the thing blew up everywhere, stating that the "previous decision was incorrect" and that the extension has been restored.

The organization issued an apology for the "mistake" and recommended to Hill to reach out whenever he has questions or concerns about a review.

Hill decided to go ahead with the plan to self-host the extension. He removed the extension from Mozilla's Add-ons repository as a consequence.

When you search for uBlock Origin Lite, you won't get the extension returned anymore.

It remains to be seen if the two parties will come closer together again or if this breakup will be permanent.
