Emerald,

Someone was going to say it

Emerald,

You can just burn CDs if there is no offiical one.

Emerald,

It depends whether you enjoy the datahoarder experience or if you just want to listen. Also internet avaliability. My mobile data isnt even 320kbps sometimes so streaming isnt an option. I also don’t want it all tied to someone else. I have a lot of music in my hoard that was pulled from streamers or wasn’t on them to begin with.

Emerald,

YouTube for many years serves ads through the same domain and IP as the actual content.

Panel 4

record the song, post it on YouTube and wait for copyright strike to tell you which song you stole

[Diagram of a person now facing the bottom left corner of the panel; the brain glows bright blue, and it shoots out bright blue, pulsing beams of light.]

Emerald,

I do believe that piracy is moral and ethical and sharing knowledge is what helps humanity thrive. However, due to copyright law, the sharing of knowledge is criminalized. Private trackers serve as a way for people to share knowledge with less of a risk of bad actors (commonly known as copyright trolls) interfering. Private trackers very much are a “secret club”, but that is why they are able to stay open for long periods of time without legal action. For me, whenever I download something from a private tracker I am also sure to share it publicly on other P2P networks, as to not gatekeep.

Copy me and do exactly as I did

Piracy is Preservation (feddit.de)

Image description: a screenshot from the Wikipedia page for the Doctor Who TV series, with a user-added caption that reads “Preserve the media you can before it’s gone forever.” The Wikipedia article reads, “No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were...

Emerald,

Legally they can’t do much due to copyright.

Emerald,

Because the music, TV show, movie, or other media is a product they created and continue to sell copies of. If you build many copies of that house and sell more and more you continue getting paid.

I bought a new 2Tb SSD but it shows up as 1.8TB SSD

[An image of a classical art piece. The man in the image is wearing a hat and has a peculiar facial expression. One of his arms is on a table, palm facing up. The other arm is in the air, with the pointer finger touching the palm. Near that hand is the caption “Where’s my 0.2TB”]

Emerald,

IMO piracy is only justified when it corrects for a problem

and big tech mass surveillance isn’t a problem?

Emerald,

When the only “valid source” for an app is an app store run by an advertising company that’s more then enough to justify it.

Steve vs Ninjas @stevevsninjas

Jesus invited prostitutes to dine with him and he’s the light of the world, I do it and I’m “making Thanksgiving awkward.”

Emerald,

Kind of both. I keep a music collection as an archive and share it with others too on Soulseek
