Whirlybird, to piracy in Feeling the lack of moderation now Reddit?

They don’t care about making the site good or attracting a healthy community.

They never cared about the “healthy” part either, just “big”. Reddit has been a cesspool for years and years and years, largely thanks to the moderators.

Whirlybird, to piracy in Feeling the lack of moderation now Reddit?

No, the people that didn’t leave yet kept whining are the whiners.

You didn’t, but lots did. They’re still using reddit to this day.

Whirlybird, to programmer_humor in Bug Thread

There’s also always someone that says “I fixed it, thanks” and then doesn’t say how.

Whirlybird, to piracy in How does Usenet content not immediately get DMCA'd into oblivion?

Usenet will download much faster and is generally much more “private” and secure (your ISP can never see what you download).

Whirlybird, to piracy in How does Usenet content not immediately get DMCA'd into oblivion?

Install the *arr programs that you want to manage your libraries - Radarr (for movies), Sonarr (for tv shows), Lidarr (for music)

Install NZBGet (for downloading the files)

Sign up to a usenet provider.

Sign up to an indexer like NZBGeek, NZBFinder, etc.

Put your usenet provider details in to NZBGet under the News-Server section.

Put your indexer details into the indexer settings in *arr programs.

Put your NZBGet details into the Download Clients setting section in *arr programs.

Pretty much the gist of it. Then you can just search for and add the content you’re after in Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr and it will go looking.

If you need a hand I’m happy to help.

Whirlybird, to piracy in How does Usenet content not immediately get DMCA'd into oblivion?

Because it’s simple. The company that owns the content does a DMCA claim and they either remove it or get sued. Removing it is simple and largely automated.

Whirlybird, to piracy in How does Usenet content not immediately get DMCA'd into oblivion?

They do. Almost everything gets DMCA’d within hours of being uploaded. What happens is they just get uploaded again and again, on different backbones and servers, and you end up getting the complete thing from multiple sources or as soon as it gets uploaded but before it gets DMCAd.

Whirlybird, to piracy in Film studios demand IP addresses of people who discussed piracy on Reddit

🤣 Fuck of reddit, they’re handing over that data without putting up a fight.

I’m not “extremely young”, in fact I’m likely older than you. That is always how digital purchases have worked.

The PS had weak plastic laser eye rails. Prolonged use warped them causing laser/disc misalignment, so you would have to often play with the console up side down etc to try and adjust for it.

The PS2 has the disc read error, lost multiple class action lawsuits over the design flaw.

PS3 had the yellow light of death. Design/manufacturing flaw like the Xbox red ring of death.

With digital shows and movies -and games - you’re essentially buying a limited license that can be revoked at any time. This shouldn’t be news to anyone. You’re not actually buying ownership of the show/movie.

Even physical media you’re just buying a license. That license has restrictions.

If you knew anything about digital purchasing you’d understand why u brought it up.

When you “buy” a digital tv show or movie you’re not actually buying it, you’re purchasing a license to use it, a license that can be revoked, for content that can be removed.

I swear most people have no idea how digital ownership works. I expected more from people on here at least.

You don’t get that from buying a license for a digital movie/tv show.
