Seems easy to find intel versions but not apple silicon versions.

In an ongoing escalation of its fight against online sports piracy, media giant Canal+ secured court orders compelling DNS providers Quad9 and Vercara to block access to pirate streaming sites in France. Quad9 says that it's determined to appeal what it sees as an absurd application of copyright law. For now, however, it will block the targeted domain names globally.

Italy's Piracy Shield IPTV blocking system is back in the news today after yet another completely avoidable blocking blunder. On Monday night, yet another CDN IP address was added to the blocklist rendering innocent sites unavailable. Italian tech news site DDaY, a long-standing critic of Piracy Shield's indiscriminate blocking, was among those affected.

Hello, i was going through the megathread and also stuff like FMHY, i was wondering..

1. Is Online-fix any good and would it work on linux with wine? (I use linux mint as my main operating system, piracy is actually possible there and hell even fitgirl's stuff works nicely there)

2. Would trainers that's in the c/piracy megathread (such as fling trainers, mrantifun or wemod) work on pirated games? (I plan on messing around with those in singleplayer, i have no intention to cheat in online games lol)

3. Has anyone experienced TorrentGalaxy being slow? It wasn't like that before but now some of the images such as movie art covers in the frontpage doesn't even load anymore and i was wondering if anyone experienced the same and wondered if anyone knows what is going on

I'll be waiting for replies, thanks!

I got some courses on zenva and gamedev.tv thru a humble bundle some time back and would like to store the videos from these courses locally. "Save video as" is greyed out, but is there a common technique to download such content despite this?

Trouble continues for the popular torrent site TorrentGalaxy. After several technical issues last week, the site has become unreachable. At the same time, the related 'TGxGoodies' uploader accounts at other torrent sites have been inactive for days. TorrentGalaxy switched owners earlier this year, but it's unclear what's behind the recent problems.

What are the best piracy tips/tricks. I host most of my own media, but I want to be able to read paywalled news articles, watch youtube w/o ads am generally into privacy, etc.

What are your best practices?

Music streaming app Musi claims Apple removed its app from the App Store after "backroom conversations" with key music industry players. The app developer alleges this was an "unfair" and "tainted" removal process designed to put it out of business. Musi is seeking a preliminary injunction to reinstate its app while the legal battle plays out.

Indie videgame portal Itch.io is effectively offine today after a brand protection company reported the platform for "fraud/phishing" for what was a problem easily solved using a DMCA notice. According to Google's transparency databases, the same company has repeatedly attempted to use the DMCA to solve alleged trademark infringement but had its complaints rejected.

Cloudflare is actively disabling access to some pirate site URLs on its network, informing visitors that the requested pages are unavailable for legal reasons. While these types of 'HTTP 451' error messages are relatively rare, they are nothing more than Cloudflare complying with its legal obligations under the DMCA.

Greece is buzzing with news of a historic, landmark decision by a local court, to imprison a person for five months for subscribing to a pirate IPTV service. The news warrants an informed conversation about creators' rights and how the judicial system has sharpened its response to piracy. However, until evidence is produced to the contrary, the story should be stamped "propaganda" and noted for an offense of its own: a distraction from genuine progress in the fight against piracy.

Recently finished setting up all the ARR services and I already had a lot of movies placed in nice folders for collections. Upon import into radarr it does not like this and fails to see most of them. I said fine and went into some of my collection folders to read the movies in there and then it complains about "Multiple root folders are missing for movie collections:" . So not only would I have to add root folders for each collection but then I have to go back through and rename each one of those to be what radarr wants them to be? Is there any way to automate this I looked through there wiki and didn't see anything about collection making. Or do most people not put movies in actuall collection folders such as movies/Star Wars/Star Wars Episode One file

Thank you

Whenever I torrent something I feel like the torrent almost always includes addtitional subtitles and audio tracks. Is there a way to prevent this? I've tried to set up bazarr to atleast fetch the correct subititles and default those to english but its not always working either. But the default audio tracks I've yet to find a way to delete/set english as default.

Is this as common of a problem for Usenet users? Been considering going over to usenet for a while.

In a bid to identify individuals allegedly involved in creating and distributing cheats for the video game Destiny 2, Bungie has subpoenaed the U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. The subpoena seeks to identify the owner of a Bitcoin wallet, who is believed to be a European resident. This individual, however, is contesting the subpoena, claiming it violates EU privacy laws and other regulations.

While we are deeply disappointed with the Second Circuit’s opinion in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the Internet Archive has decided not to pursue Supreme Court review. We will continue to honor the Association of American Publishers (AAP) agreement to remove books from lending at their member publishers’ requests.
