Yeah, but they are facing the same crap in Italy and now France too. Because they lost in Germany, now copyright holders are taking legal action in different jurisdictions in the hope of getting a more favourable ruling (to them). My concern is that over time it’ll be harder and harder to find a DNS provider that’ll correctly resolve piracy-related sites.

I switched to Quad9 since I like how they fought and finally won on appeal the Sony lawsuit (see https://torrentfreak.com/dns-resolver-quad9-wins-pirate-site-blocking-appeal-against-sony-231208/)

It’s important news for pirates, because if you’ve set cloudflare dns resolvers in your *arr stack then certain things might stop working (e.g. blocked indexers). I just switched my system to another DNS service because of this.

It’s Sonarr - just saw that the first couple of episodes of this series are on usenet already, so I guess it’s not so ironically difficult lol

Fittingly enough they are also now available on The Pirate Bay as torrents.

For those who aren’t aware of this new series:

I actually love this idea. Do you mind if I run with it, or would you prefer to make a post about it yourself?

Can confirm. Just walked the Camino and everyone I talked to had a bad experience with BMW drivers. The brand is like a dickhead magnet.

That’s no kids toy btw, it’s a fairly expensive Motorola radio for clarification.

IMO it’s a good idea to use a VPN when accessing any pirated content, as a general rule. While there are exceptions (e.g. usenet, specific countries with piracy-friendly laws/enforcement) and it’s arguably unlikely end-users of pirated streams would be prosecuted, why take the risk? It’s cheap insurance and there are few downsides. In some countries ISPs will act on reported piracy at your IP address and you could have your internet cut off or suspended, and/or be fined. So, better safe than sorry.

This dude is getting legitimately downvoted for JAQing off. Also, his home instance is explicitly anti-corporate and anarchist, so defending right wing billionaires is against our rules. You are correct that Lemmy is generally left of centre, depending on the instance, so JAQing in defense of billionaire assholes is never gonna go down well.

I agree with you there. Piracy for profit never seems to attract the most virtuous of characters. Not-for-profit piracy for the people, as a weapon in the fight against oligarchy and enshittification - this is the way.

Yay, cya!

Hard agree with you on that. AI generated articles are a disaster for the internet. There’s just no quality control any more, especially when actual authoritative sites are no longer in the top search results. Now we’ve got tons more crap-tier content on the internet and no way to differentiate it from the useful content.

You should see some of the usernames I’ve seen reported from the sh.itjust.works instance. I’m not going to post any but it seems like there is no moderation of usernames at all as far as I can tell. Major oversight on their part.
