If piracy is moral and ethical and enables us to share knowledge, why do private trackers gatekeep this knowledge?

Because thats not how most people see it. It’s just a way to watch movies (or download stuff) for free. Private trackers ensure a higher quality experience

Piracy isn’t some high philosophical debate, it’s seeing something you want and making a copy of it.



In this case the jpegs themselves change everytime you zoom in, so you zoom in a little it loads a new set of higher quality Jpegs.

Do you remember the tool you are talking about?


Can’t figure out how to download an embedded PDF
Ok so I want to download this embedded PDF/document in order to physically print it. The website allows me to view it as much as I want, but is asking me to fork over 25 + tax USD so i can download the document. ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/bbed0e20-73ab-49b2-a943-4e436124b836.png) Obviously, i don't want to do that, so I try to download the embedded document via inspect element. But, the weird thing is it not actually loading a pdf, but like really small pictures of each page: ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/b89d74d2-559a-4ef2-9fd6-9114d83a8d4d.png) So, my question is basically how can I download this document in order to print it?

Try torrenting on another device (like your phone) to see if the issue is your network. Also try a non qbittorent client


Op:

but even with the VPN disabled it doesn’t work.

Comments:

Have you tried changing your vpn???




If they could tell an install is pirated then they would lock it down

They either count all installs as legitimate or pirated copies are not picked up by their telemetry



Theres a black and white show from the fifties that i watch all the time and i find torrents of it.

What is the name of the show that you’re looking for?

Also try your local library





For me personally i find that i play pirated games more lften than the ones i bought, i hate having to use the launchers it is a complete pain in the ass, they all require updates everytime i open them, they’re very sluggish and often try to shove ads and offers down your throat (with exception of steam). I own the dishonored series legitimately but i still play the pirated version.

One of my favorite games is Titanfall 2 and i don’t play it anymore so that i don’t have to put up with the cancer of the EA app


Mullvad vpn has an ad blocking feature Although ive never tried it


I dont upload but i do seed, im not gonna lie my ratio is below 1


Jellyfin is a 100% free and open source, but you can only stream stuff you already have downloaded, so you don’t get that love tv stuff on Plex

Personally I don’t use the love TV stuff, and I prefer jellyfin because it’s free and open source with no Plex pass bs
