Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

from the nothing-to-see-here dept

I unpacked and sent my game containing online fix to a friend of mine on mac . I was wondering how can we play online together. So he set up Whiskey and ran steam on it and added me as (Steam needs to run to be able to play via online fix). He also added the game in question on whiskey. The game runs well and works on lan. But when i send an invitation to join my lobby online steam doesnt seem to detect the game (he gets my invitation tho). So we tried manually adding the game via steam but in vain.

Any tips on how to solve this? Or is it even possible to do such thing?? It worked with my friends running windows.

Hypothetically speaking, if one was looking for some, where would they look?

Has anyone seen any particularly good deals for NAS's, storage or memory, mini computers, things like that, for this Black Friday / Cyber Monday season?

Bonus points if you can guess:

• from which tracker the torrent is and
• the exact title of the file

This behavior is very concerning, especially since it's not a one-off, their other replies on that account aren't much better.

Right now, it's a bit difficult to go through all of my movies. I know I can create and sort by collection, genre, etc., but it doesn't help when browsing for movies to watch. What I'd like to do is group, for example, all the Harry Potter movies together. Or all the Star Wars movies together. Right now, they take up an inordinate amount of space. Is there a way to configure Plex to have them in a sort of subfolder that expands when selected?

It also says "free of installer bundles" while (at least in past, don't know about now) their default windows installer was including ads (source)

P.S.: If you want to disable the in-app ads, here's how to: https://gist.github.com/yunooooo/87564a0293a1c7a53fb3e233a604c638

A new EUIPO study reveals that while piracy rates have stabilized in the EU, significant variations exist across countries and content types. The research also links higher piracy rates and socioeconomic factors such as youth unemployment and income inequality. Higher average incomes and increased awareness of legal alternatives reduce piracy.

Dramacool emerged in the early 2010s, catering to pirates with a love for Asian dramas. The operation eventually drew an audience of millions but, in true drama fashion, announced its own demise this week. The site's operators cite 'copyright' as the reason and recent domain name troubles and pressure from Hollywood studios likely played a role.

I'm just wondering what people's experience is like in cases where they mostly play pirated games

Nintendo's ongoing fight against Switch piracy has a new target in its sights — and that's the r/SwitchPirates subreddit.

Law enforcement authorities across Europe, supported by Europol and Eurojust, have taken down one of the largest illegal streaming networks operating within and outside the EU.

The investigation targeted 102 suspects, 11 of whom were arrested, for distributing material from streaming services online illegally, including movies and series. They also pirated more than 2 500 television channels such as sports broadcasters, making them available to over 22 million users worldwide without the consent of the copyright holders.

Results of the operation include:

• 102 suspects identified
• 11 people arrested
• Over 112 house searches conducted
• At least 29 servers seized
• 100 domains taken down
• 270 IPTV equipment/devices seized
• Over 560 resellers identified
• Various drugs and weapons seized
• Around EUR 1.6 million in cryptocurrency and EUR 40,000 in cash seized

Hosting provider Uberspace has suffered another setback in a German court.

The owner of the company is currently considering further appeal options. Meanwhile, youtube-dl remains available on GitHub.

When I found out I had a V1 Switch, I homebrewed it as soon as I was able, and ripped all my games to put them onto an emulator. After looking further into it, I found that homebrewing could improve the console experience as well. I'm eager to use it, but I'd rather not manually inject a payload every time through Tegra. Are there any ways to make the Switch boot into a payload like Hekate?

Kim Dotcom is recovering in hospital after reportedly suffering a stroke earlier this month. Dotcom was taken to a local hospital on November 7 and then rushed to a regional hospital for treatment. A post to X in Dotcom's name on Monday informed followers that after suffering "a serious stroke" his recovery is now in the hands of "the best health professionals."

I'm starting to collect some documentaries for my server but having a hard time finding torrents on the public sites. Is there a torrent site that specializes in documentaries?

The Supreme Court has signaled its interest in a landmark case that could redefine anti-piracy enforcement. By calling on the Solicitor General to weigh in on the "repeat infringer" dispute between Cox Communications and several record labels, it has become more likely that the Supreme Court will eventually share its opinion on the "billion dollar" piracy controversy.

Pirates refusing to quit and pirate sites coming back to life isn't unheard of but, for those caught in the act, the consequences can be severe. That's mostly the case in the United States and Europe but the global piracy landscape today is significantly bigger. According to broadcaster beIN, previously shuttered streaming sites are quickly getting back in the game.

I've got legal, authorized access to cengage's ebook platform. HOWEVER: their built-in ereader is absolute CRUD. Does anyone have a tool that can create an epub or pdf from a given cengage book?

I've already checked libgen, anna, ebsco, and the online databases. the book isnt already on there, so once I rip it, it'll get uploaded by me.

A highly controversial court order that required Cisco, Cloudflare, and Google to poison DNS earlier this year was just the beginning. To further combat sports piracy, broadcaster Canal+ sought several follow-up orders. Cisco had discontinued its OpenDNS service in France due to the legal restrictions, so only Google and Cloudflare put up a defense, but without the desired result.

One of the most enduring online movie scams involves sites that claim to offer premium content, but turn out to be some type of scam. These services do not discriminate, so whether 'customers' are pirates or just regular people hoping to buy content, everyone is a potential victim. The scam has been running for at least 20 years yet, seemingly out of nowhere, pro site-blocking studies now describe it as a major piracy-related security threat.
