If the original artist reports the pirated song, YouTube will most likely remove it.

If no one reports it, then YouTube is going to keep it.

Aren’t most songs on YouTube uploaded by the artists themselves?

It makes perfect sense, and I agree 100% with this statement. 👍

That’s one reason why Piracy will always exist, am I right?

I generally always buy games, because they are kinda cheap on PC, but I still refuse to pay streaming services to watch movies.

Steam Deck is great for consuming movies / TV series.

True that.

They didn’t check my laptop or mobile phone, however I didn’t really hold any illegal materials.

Just don’t bring any food, or any other prohibited things, they care more about real things than files you have in your laptop.

I had all my work related files uploaded to proton, just in case (I was going as tourist, planning on studying).

Good luck :)

You can try InnerTube of you care about music. It is like YouTube Music, but without ads, and can download the songs.

For videos, I am using ReVenced.

Ye, the 2 things are pretty much connected 🤣

It was the most pirated series, because it was also incredibly popular.

I usually aim for 1080p top, since all my screens resultion don’t go above that.

Sometime even 720p, depends on how many seeders.

Good point right there.

Sadly I don’t think so. InnurTune is just a YouTube Music with different UI and Features. You can’t even log in with you Google account.

I am afraid you will need to add your favorite artists / songs manually.

Then that’s why I found the UI so messy and out of style. It may have been good years ago.

Yes, sorry, it is InnerTune. You can find it on F-Droid.

Try InnerTube. I tried ViMusic, but the UI is terrible isn’t it?

InnerTube is the same, but the UI is more intuitive.

To be honest, I have been always using NordVPN, never had any issues with them. Torrenting like a beast 😂

Probably there are other, cheaper and better, VPNs.

Just forget about reddit.

I don’t care anymore to be honest. r/piracy was not and will not be the frontpage of piracy, and neither c/piracy will be.

This is just for convenience and chatting, nothing more. If you need any information, you can find everything online (for example: best torrent website).

Again, if you forget about r/piracy, you would not need to worry about it being active or not. Just focus on making this place better.

Finally, it is obvious that people will split between reddit and lemmy, but it doesn’t matter much imo.

Don’t take my comment wrong, it is just my opinion, and I am sure many will differ from me.

Take care! 🏴‍☠️

Thay are ok, but you can’t share publicly.

I would definitely use an eMail Provider like that. 🤣
