Pirulecy
(paraphrased) “The user of the illegal service may fund the activities of criminal organisations, says Executive Director Jaana Pihkala from the copyright organisation TTVK.”
as opposed to paying the even more criminal publishers scalping the rights and screwing the creators
How the shit am I funding criminal activity when I don't pay them anything?
I'm the same as you, but there are a lot of people that pay (monthly fees I believe!) for pre-built "android boxes".
I may pay for pre-configured server space, bandwidth and a torrent client in another country
Depends on the method, but a lot of normies find these pirate websites where you stream directly through a player on their website, and here they can serve ads, i.e. get money. Pirate Bay and the like also serves ads.
strange, I've never seen an ad on piratebay or my regular streaming sites.
If anything, by not giving the money to big multinationals more of my money will be going into the local economy instead.
may is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Thanks!
If they have an issue with copyright infringement, they should discuss with OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic and more.
If they are so opposed to stealing, then why steal my personal information? That is not how (a functioning) society works
That subtitle isn't real
Yeah. Here's the article, there's nothing like that in it: https://yle.fi/a/74-20061429
old article but hate how they are intentionally fudging the difference between people who pay for a pirate streaming site vs. people who just torrent stuff. I too will bet my left testicle that downloading anime isn't going to put money into trafficking.
Ads?
Not through my adblocker.
But unsuspecting folks that want to trial the seven seas.
You'd be surprised about one sees outside a bubble
Ah just seen this, will update the title to reflect and my bad.
Aw that's a shame and sorry for messing up, saw it and thought it'd be worth sharing here because it tickled me. What does it actually say?
The translation is accurate. The "boohoo" bit does not appear in the article at all, in English or Finnish.
To be fair, the image says ‘this post’ and not ‘this article’
The subtitle all the way at the bottom says the same thing in Finnish, but it's also not real.
Everything is worth what it's purchaser will, or won't, pay for it.
No, no, you've misunderstood. The "Finns" mentioned are the descendants of Huckleberry Finn.
It's actually a real step backwards for them. If they not afraid to violate copyright it's only a matter of time before they start using the n-word again...

a piracy and onehundredninetysix crossover? today is a good day.
Used discord for piracy before, someone pirates a film and streams it to a bunch of us over discord. So discord are helping us distribute it and keep it synced for a large group.
Just hope discord is not collecting your username and ip address for future disclosure.
