Philip answered him, 2 books is not sufficient for them. And Jesus took the books; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the new copies, which remained over.

Marvel Subpoenas Instagram to Expose ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Leaker * TorrentFreak
![Image](https://torrentfreak.com/images/cptam-300x162.jpg) > Last week, new footage of Marvel's upcoming 'Captain America: Brave New World' appeared online. The film is due to be released in 2025 but the allegedly leaked material, posted in an Instagram story by a well-known 'scooper', clearly has Disney and Marvel concerned. Through a DMCA subpoena, the movie companies aim to find out who's behind the social media account.

Telegram Reportedly “Ready to Fight Piracy” According to Govt. Official * TorrentFreak
![Image](https://torrentfreak.com/images/telegram-2-2024-300x281.png) > At various times, most social media platforms have received criticism for alleged failure to prevent distribution of copyright-infringing content. Few, however, have been threatened with widespread blocking more often than Telegram. In a row that seemed ready to boil over last year, Telegram was given an ultimatum by the Malaysian government; come to the negotiating table or face the consequences. A Malaysian minister now says that Telegram is ready to fight piracy.

Supreme Court: There’s No ‘Time Limit’ on Copyright Infringement Claims * TorrentFreak
![Image](https://torrentfreak.com/images/clock-old-300x241.jpg) > Copyright holders can claim damages for copyright infringements that occurred years or even decades ago, the U.S. Supreme Court has clarified. In a majority decision, the Court rejected the lower court's argument that there's a three-year time limit for damages. Older claims are fair game, as long as the lawsuit is filed within three years of 'discovering' an infringement. A copy of the Supreme Court Decision, written by Justice Elena Kagan, is available [here](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-1078_4gci.pdf)

Pirate Site Blocking Agency Reveals How and Why Pirates Circumvent Blocking * TorrentFreak
![Image](https://torrentfreak.com/images/lockpick-s.png) > As the Motion Picture Association's site-blocking drive lands back on home turf, countries that have already implemented their own site-blocking programs are evaluating their effectiveness. A new survey carried out by French anti-piracy agency Arcom reveals how internet users circumvent blocking and their preferred tools. More importantly from a piracy mitigation perspective, the survey reveals why users feel the need to circumvent blocking in the first place. The original study: https://www.arcom.fr/sites/default/files/2024-04/Arcom-Usage-des-outils-de-securisation-Internet-a-des-fins-acces-illicites-aux-biens-dematerialises-Rapport-etude-qualitative-et-quantitative-avril-2024.pdf

Pirate IPTV Owner’s Conviction First Ever Under Protecting Lawful Streaming Act * TorrentFreak
![Image](https://torrentfreak.com/images/iptv2-s.png) Passed by Congress late December 2020, the Protecting Lawful Streaming Act (PLSA) was crafted to urgently close a loophole in copyright law that treated unlicensed reproduction and distribution as a felony, but unlicensed streaming as a misdemeanor. This week, well over three years later, a 40-year-old former operator of an illicit IPTV service became the first person to be convicted under the PLSA. While a win is a win, the case wasn't entirely straightforward.

@TheHooligan95@lemmy.dbzer0.com Lol. Torrenting is sharing. And for now you haven’t been visited, but I’m certain Hollywood will pay a visit to your local enforcer chief to explain to him the technicalities over fine wine & dinner.

The risk is still there. Keep your share ratios to 3 so you don’t look like a big problem as @Melkath@kbin.social put it. And when you get a letter from somebody complaining, it’s time to start looking into a VPN.

The second best thing to do is your own research into your country’s laws, and subscribing to e-mail alerts so you can know if the law will change. At least a google alert at a minimum.


CJEU Gives File-Sharer Surveillance & Data Retention a Green Light * TorrentFreak

Digital rights groups hoped to end the French 'Hadopi' anti-piracy scheme, claiming that it violates the fundamental right to privacy. The CJEU's judgment leaves no stone unturned explaining why that isn't so, leaving case law to deal with the turbulence.

Court Keeps DMCA Subpoena Shortcut Closed, Restricts Piracy Settlements * TorrentFreak
![Image](https://torrentfreak.com/images/pirate-flag-1.jpg) > Earlier this year, a Hawaiian District Court blocked movie companies' efforts to unmask alleged BitTorrent pirates using a DMCA subpoena 'shortcut'. The filmmakers asked the court to reconsider its position but without success; the 'DMCA shortcut' will remain closed. The rightsholders will appeal the order but won't be able to use evidence previously obtained through settlements with pirating subscribers.

Rightsholders Want U.S. “Know Your Customer” Proposal to Include Domain Name Services * TorrentFreak
![Image](https://torrentfreak.com/images/ananymous-hacker-300x263.jpg) > The U.S. Department of Commerce has proposed new customer verification requirements for Infrastructure as a Service providers. The goal of the 'Know Your Customer' regime is to prevent fraud and abuse, including piracy. In response to this plan, prominent rightsholders want the department to expand the proposal's scope to include domain name registrars and registries. Ideally, they argue, domain companies should also be required to take down pirate domains.

U.S. “Know Your Customer” Proposal Will Put an End to Anonymous Cloud Users * TorrentFreak
![Image](https://torrentfreak.com/images/identity-s.jpg) Late January, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a notice of proposed rulemaking for establishing new requirements for Infrastructure as a Service providers (IaaS) . The proposal boils down to a 'Know Your Customer' regime for companies operating cloud services, with the goal of countering the activities of "foreign malicious actors." Yet, despite an overseas focus, Americans won't be able to avoid the proposal's requirements, which covers CDNs, virtual private servers, proxies, and domain name resolution services, among others.

Hi Anth0rx, yes — I’ve looked into all of them. Here are some hot-takes:

Loginet is just a front for a cryptocurrency. It’s decentralized but not distributed. It’s primary purpose is to selling you hot air, though.

I2P can only talk to other I2P users. There are far from enough users on it to reliably use it for P2P. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, it just never reached critical mass. The set-up process is probably too complicated for most potential users.

GNUnet has been “fixing the internet” for literally two decades. They‘ve yet to deliver anything. The software download pages clearly warns that it’s still “not yet ready”. It’s an interesting project, but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

Daniel Aleksandersen 2023-07-02 15:17Z

The project change log does not indicate any work on any of the things discussed in this article. I might revisit this after the next beta release.

TLDR: Censorship resistant doesn’t mean anything if they can find you and nail you to a cross


Different purposes. Tor was intended so you could access the real web anonymously.

I2p the whole thing is an anonymous web. Everybody is a node. Tracing a packet never ends because you can’t be sure you found the origin of the packet. Which only gets worse the longer somebody remains connected to i2p. And it even can handle torrenting, a torrent client is built in.

I2P sadly gets a lot less funding/support.


i2p or tor addresses. Which aren’t popular because it’s hard for both admin & user.


No One Can Own The Law—So Why Is Congress Advancing A Bill To Extend Copyright To It? *from the don't-lock-up-the-law dept* > Last week, the US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee voted to advance the Protecting and Enhancing Public Access to Codes Act, or the Pro Codes Act (H.R. 1631), to the full House. The bill would extend copyright protection to codes (such as building codes) that are developed by standards development organizations (SDOs) and incorporated by reference into local, state, and federal laws, as long as the SDOs make the codes “available to the public free of charge online in a manner that does not substantially disrupt the ability of those organizations to earn revenue.”

Major publishers assert that digitizing books without appropriate licensing amounts to infringement but IA counters that the practice is in the public interest. It also fits copyright's ultimate purpose; to promote the broad public availability of literature and other arts.

The Premier League wants domain registrar GoDaddy to identify people connected to dozen of pirate sports streaming domains that broadcast live football matches. The information, including IP-addresses and payment information, could assist with enforcement efforts. In addition, the Premier League would like GoDaddy to take action against these infringements but, as far as we know, that hasn’t happened yet.

Spanish football league LaLiga has asked a local court to charge the directors of Google, Apple, and Huawei in a row over an IPTV player app. The companies removed the Newplay app from their stores in 2022 to comply with a court order but LaLiga says that apps already installed on users’ phones must be remotely deactivated.


I get that it can be several megabytes in size. But in this day and age it’s like pulling a key flavor from the dish.




Let the free market run its course and let pirate sites compete with streaming services to improve their services.

The only way they can loose that race is tying themselves to an anvil and taking a shotgun to both kneecaps, and it would still be close.

Non Sanctified streaming sites can’t load balance automatically, customers have to manually switch between different video sources. 4K isn’t even an option. So many many ads. And adblockers on mobile aren’t as good. Downloading for offline viewing is a joke. Captions sometimes completely broken, and only a few languages. What’s audio description?

Netflix so freaked out that people will just download a copy of the whole thing. But it’s happening already, and most people cannot afford to have 4k copies of the office filling up their only harddrive. Datahoarders are a tiny tiny minority.




Anybody remember when the fucking optical disks were locked to certain regions?

Pirate Site FMovies Rivals Major Streaming Platforms in U.S. Web Traffic
*Every month, many millions of Americans visit pirate streaming site FMovies to bypass paid subscription services and watch movies and TV series for free. The platform is a thorn in the side of the movie industry and a prime exhibit in the quest for local site-blocking measures. According to SimilarWeb's Top 10 chart of U.S. 'Streaming & Online TV' sites, FMovies beats Disney+ and Crunchyroll.*

@Clinico@lemmy.eco.br The M-DISC is your solution. Then just keep it in a cool dry place, airtight plastic bag if possible, and it will last longer than people will remember you.

Also, make sure to store a **desktop **computer in an airtight container next to your disks. If you have spare cash then get backup parts for the computer and keep them in their factory anti-static bags. No GPU needed, get a CPU with an integrated GPU.

Finally, in my opinion, information survives longer when it’s wanted. Get a big monitor, slap it against a wall, plug in a mini fanless PC, and have a random slideshow running during your waking hours. Let family add to the living slide show, teach them how to access the family NAS drive, show them how to access the archival disks in the basement, show them how to make new archival disks as they generate data to add to the family archives of house Clinico.


I am extremely confused why the medicine factories are not sharing the best recipes and running non stop.









Enshittification continues, with the company no longer recognizing it’s original (and still base) market customers, because the investors might get scared.


I actually feel morally regretful when pirating games, more so than pirating movies, because of just how much sweat and tears developers had to put in to making it happen.

Be at peace my child.
