I believe we’re approaching the final 3-5 years of prevalent piracy for several reasons:
Software: The difficulty of cracking and modifying software has significantly increased.
Movies and TV Shows: Numerous streaming sites have been shut down or faced legal penalties.
Adult Content: New releases are often removed within 1-5 weeks, and many older titles are no longer available on piracy platforms.
Given these trends, what might a post-piracy world entail?
1. Posts must be related to the discussion of digital piracy
2. Don’t request invites, trade, sell, or self-promote
3. Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles, including DMs
4. Don’t submit low-quality posts, be entitled, or harass others

*Software: Idk, never really messed with pirating software, that’s how you become part of someone’s botnet.
*Movies and TV shows: Torrents and Usenet.
*Adult Content: Torrents and Usenet.
*Music: Slsk and yt-dlp.
The problem is not their absence from the P2P networks; rather, it’s the lack of seeders that renders them useless.
He’s right, usenet isn’t p2p, but finding old movies there can be a challenge. Still, I manage just fine for old movies with ipt and tl for the most part, or the rare thing I can only find on soulseek of all places. Archive actually has a bunch too.
Usenet isn’t P2P
