I borrowed it from an acquaintance on Internet :D
Fell off this passing truck that was carrying shows and movies!
I just taught my coworkers how to pirate shit. Fuck Disney.
This ties into the comment I was going to make separately. For context, my dad recently passed. First father’s day without him. My mom asked to watch a movie that meant something to the both of them because they saw it together in a drive in on release and it was very memorable because the technology and techniques used were fascinating at the time. She complained that it wasn’t on Disney+ or anywhere.
You may have guessed it, but she requested Song of the South. One serious moral quandary later, I got it ready for her to watch.
Tomorrow is gonna be rough, but at least my sailing might bring some good memories for her.
That is a great movie. Don’t let social justice warriors tell you it’s not. Sorry to hear about your dad.
Sending lots of love to you and your family.
Best of luck with your endless tech support anytime something doesn’t work.
This was like two years ago and I’ve never had an issue. Have some faith in humans.
This right here is what keeps me from charging for Jellyfin access.
I’m the opposite
Them: You should check out this show I’ve been watching, it’s great. Do you have Disn-----
Me: I can get anything online. How do you spell the name of the show? Thanks for the rec. If you need help getting anything you aren’t subscribed to let me know.
“Channel BitTorrent” is my reply
BitTorrent+
Hi-C’s
Just send them to JustWatch.
it’s on ploob
It used to be on ploob, but season 3 is only on nimbo now.
yes that is what I was referencing
Oh… well then you spelled your made up parody word wrong :/
I did not, it was a dual-reference.
Oh, ok. Whats the other reference too?
Oh i love Doug, alright nice dual reference dude 👍
Great, now I’ll never not notice how many brand names are baby sounds
It’s on Plex on my Synology ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I just honestly answer that I don’t know.

The Pirate Bay - free streaming service
The Pirate Bay
Its pretty outdated these days
In what way? I use it from time to time to get movies and series. Is there any downside compared to other methods?
Genuine question, I’m not too familiar with the pirate world beyond pirate bay.
It just doesn’t have that many files anymore, since not that many people use it. 1337x.to is more popular now
Say it loud and proud: https://hydrahd.com/
This is how we fight back.
There doesn’t seem to be any way of saving videos there, am I missing something?
No. Most sites don’t offer their own ways to download videos.
If you want to save videos, you can always use a browser addon. I use VideoDownloadHelper for Firefox and it allows me to download any video, even on Linux.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/
Yes I’m aware of that, I assumed that a site recommended on here would have that as a main feature otherwise it’s not much use for archiving. I already tried yt-dlp and it doesn’t seem to be supported.
Thanks for the site, I’d genuinely never heard of this and was looking for something new!
Anytime!
This is a good one.
If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.
If someone is aware of piracy and doesn’t care: “I don’t really know, I just got it off of a torrent site.”
If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don’t work for: You can ignore them.
Do you know of any easily shareable beginner’s guides?
I love turning friends onto free media, but I don’t always want to walk them through it.
fmhy.pages.dev/beginners-guide/
fmhy.net also hosts the same guides I believe
Not really beginner friendly because it doesn’t teach you much but the site has a nice list of resources that go even boyond piracy: https://fmhy.net/beginners-guide
I appreciate it!
You could share this sublemmy’s pinned post, or the megathread it links to:
Thanks so much!
If you can’t proudly say your pirating sure you need to find a new friend group
Well they said “co-worker”, I can understand not divulging that in a workplace.
I’ve never worked an office job that wasn’t pirating software openly and somewhat proudly when pointed out
Eh fuck it, what are they going to do, call the FBI on me? Employer certainly doesn’t care.
Plot twist: dude works at Disneyflix :D
“An ex-Netflix engineer’s take on piracy; in a YouTube drama near you”
Highly dependent on workplace. Many with govt contracts could feel an obligation to punish this.
My employer is the government
My da has a mate who’s literally a peeler and was showing him his piracy set-up. His mate was also talking about his.
It’s just that they have no idea how to answer the question
I get this almost daily, my whole family and several friends know I’m good at recommending things to them so they always go to me to ask what to watch. I’ve had to start looking up and writing down where each movie and show is available “normally”. I have no issue saying I get everything via other means but whem it became a thing where people started asking “can you also look up where it’s available” just because it’s not always easy to figure that out and they knew I didn’t know and generally find it quicker than them.
It’s more difficult in Europe. For example, when South Park: Post Covid released on Paramount+ in the US, there was no legal way to steam it in Germany or Austria AFAIR. And these are not exactly third-world countries.
Sounds like a business model to me. if i didn’t pirate everything i’d sign up anyway
