mechoman444, to piracy in Visits to piracy websites have increased 12% in the past four years

Piracy has changed so much. Back when people were making the transition from p2p to torrents there was very little if any streaming sites.

Nowadays if you sneeze hard enough you’re bound to spray down some big name streaming service.

Now there are even whole front ends that allow you to stream whatever you want anytime you want even on a little, but very powerful handheld computer.

I would say that 12% is more on the low end. If you were to factor in ad blocking and the various front ends I mentioned earlier I could see that number going up much higher.

mechoman444, to piracy in It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service

What’s more crazy is that the very ISPs that track all of our information and sell to the highest better are the same ones sending us letters and emails when we use torrents that they’ll shut off our services if we continue to pirate movies and music.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

mechoman444, to asklemmy in Mickey Mouse is now public domain (Steamboat Willie specifically). What do you think we will see this year?

I predict a complete overhaul of our trademark and copyright laws that will accommodate Disney’s desires.

You know… Basically what they did last time.

mechoman444, to memes in I wish sleep wasn't so appealing now.

Back when I was a kid I could play games for hours and hours. Now that I’m 38 I can play video games for hours and hours.

mechoman444, to lemmyshitpost in You know how bad it needs to be to be ignored for over 2 decades!

Guy sweeping in the background: I hate Tuesdays.

mechoman444, to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Parasite was a generally bad movie. The whole time you’re watching it and you’re like, is a comedy, a drama, a thriller? And then at the end it loses its god damned mind. And you walk out of the theater confused and feeling like shit.

mechoman444, to asklemmy in Have you ever failed at something? How did you get back up after that?

Did three years in the feds. Damn near ruined my life but I worked hard and became an essential employee at a company that was willing to hire me knowing my past.

I wanna say I’m blessed or some shit but in reality I fucked up bad paid the price then fixed it with the help of good people.

You just need to know the exact right moment to pull off.

mechoman444, to asklemmy in What do you think would happen if Putin was assassinated right now?

I would feel better albeit for just a moment.

mechoman444, to lemmyshitpost in RIP Brenda

It sounds like chatgpt did a thump print!

mechoman444, to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion

What’s more is the movie is relentlessly gut wrenchingly tear-inducingly boring.

I’ve tried watching it three times I just can’t get through it.
