While retards were bragging out owning the corpos, showing off their gigantic collection of downloaded media for offline use, using emulators, playing cracked games, publicly discussing piracy, real people in power finally unleashed hell by brainwashing the masses to abandon computers and physical media in favor of smartphones and subscription services and used AI to price people out of owning hardware, software, scrape forums, analize information and discussions regarding piracy in order to terminate any website offering free downloads and torrents.

There is barely any media worth pirating today. In the past 12 months I’ve acquired 1 album, 3 movies (2 of them mostly sucked) and zero tv series… I’ve moved mostly back to books for entertainment and I have acquired about 10 of those.
Point is… it all sucks and what little is worth consuming wouldn’t matter if you paid for it or not unless you are completely poor

you still haven't explained what ai companies are going to scrape when they eliminate all the pirate sites
unless your vision of the future is google, amazon, and netflix infinitely jacking eachother off until the end of time, which totally won't make people check out of the internet and stop feeding it new ideas to resell

mass storage was always the real weak point in home labs. used server hardware is dirt cheap still besides the ram, but a home user will not need a lot for a functional setup. A used 2U 12 bay with a few used 4-8tb drives wont break the bank.

:^) every app you ever used can be reverse engineered legally using ai. Even if the government tries to make it illegal, that won't stop the signal.
New apps have literally nothing except ai, and hideous fake ray tracing, to show in terms of technical challenges. All of those games can be replicated feature by feature by ai, totally, with nothing missing. The question is which model will be the first to one shot clone a previously unseen unreal engine x version slobberfest.

The only typo there is privacy = piracy? It doesn't matter because you can't hand those resources to people who don't care about them. They'll just destroy venues without contributing. Distribution and content creation practices have changed in reaction to millennial mass piracy, so incentives facing younger generations aren't the same, and you can't expect them to react the same.

wut
one of the biggest zoomer trends this year is going full analog and off the grid. While theres always a group that'll just be trend hopping larpers, there's always an amount that will be true believers. plenty of my fellow zoomers my age care about/pirate regularly. It doesn't help either that the streaming services have doubled down in recent years with their awful practices. Piracy may never be as common as free services like Tubi or something but it is still relevant for sure.

This is the part I would actually be concerned about but I genuinely believe life will find a way.

The absolute state of video streaming resurrected movie piracy to the heights never seen before, nothing truly dies. Normgroids have low standards but if something straight up doesn't work they'll return. And FAGMAN jeets can't keep cloud services working.
>>
>>108282170
The real issue is not to teach Zoomers how to download torrents, those who can't manage to do that are lost causes anyway, but the real issue is to make the warez scene appealing again. All faggots who are in 1337 warez groups are all 60 years old and they will only get older. Quality > quantity. You can say about the scene what you want, but all those games and movies won't be cracked by themselves, and the real piracy is not done by p2p leeches, but by sceners.

I bought excessive amounts of storage back when the prices were low, collected a vast assortment of media, and organized it in a way appealing to normies so I could offer a Netflix-like experience to my friends and family. I'm personally responsible for at least 12 streaming subscription cancellations, and probably the reason why many more never began. It's not much but I hate streaming companies so much that every little thing I do against them brings me joy.

But seriously, they will unironically gatekeep pirate sources at this rates. Private trackers already started this. Soon piracy power will be a thing.
And at that stage, internet piracy just becomes literal piracy if they racket public sources through paywalls.

>>108281458
Yup and anyone who does not understand this and why is not into tech, port mirroring and ISP backbone hash matching is going to blackhole every torrent and rip in existence and there is nothing you can do about that.
>>
>>108281458
what does this even mean?
legitimate fud psychobabble.
if someone has a giant collection they're going to have their feet up laxin.
physical media is trending.
the only person suffering here is the technologically illiterate and the quality of privacy is driven up as a result
there are concerns for piracy moving forward but the price of software is a motive not a constraint

This hit me a while ago. We had a transition period with a high amount of free content available or extremely cheap services to access music or movies. Now it's all disappearing and it's getting worse as they can change the conditions on a daily basis. Having the data in your computer is the only way to truly own it. I suggest everyone to buy some NAS external drive and start backing up.

Eh, tech literacy literally means having the money to afford a pc nowadays.. that's kinda changing fast.
I don't think commoners will be allowed computers/phones soon. They're about to be banned for the sake of "security". You can bet big pharma to be the biggest pusher of this nowadays. They HATE open access to information.

it won't die it'll just go underground. it won't be easy accessible to any moron and you'll actually have to put in effort to find shit i imagine 15-20 years from now. piracy will literally never die though, even if we regress to trading and potentially buying HDDs and thumb drives. there will always be a piracy scene.

I felt that, as a whole, LLMs were essentially trying to make a paywall for all the information online that used to be free. Search engines will continue to be raped by SEO, and the jews will have managed to lock the library of Alexandria behind a subscription service.

>Piracy will die because big companies bought up hardware temporarily
Piracy has won. AI has undermined the entire legal argument for piracy. Its really hard to make a case about intellectual property when every AI company is pirating and disregarding it on mass. If the pirates were smart they'd argue that prosecuting them was malicious prosecution considering the fact that the government refuses to hold any of the AI companies accountable.

I actually want pirates to die because they're lying hypocrites. I don't mind pirates as long as they admit what they're doing is illegal and immoral, that they aren't "helping" creators by pirating, they're just being assholes taking their labor without just compensation. If you're honest about that, more power to you. It's the faggots who lie and say "i-i'm helping the creators! i'm spreading word of mouth! i-i wasn't gonna buy it anyway, it's not a lost sale... i'm just trying before i buy..." all these egocentric self-serving deceitful entitled faggots deserve a noose.

Piracy was down because we had a period where the big boys were trying to attract customers and provided a good service at a reasonable price. Now that they're trying to make a profit and ask for unreasonable prices piracy will be in the rise again

That's funny. I stopped downloading stuff once the streaming services became more convenient, but now that they are all shit, pumping out AI slop and have started showing ads even on paid subscriptions, I've started downloading again.

false, piracy doesn't cost the copyright-holder anything
redditors who cope and say "well yeah i guess its stealing but im fighting the heckin corpos!" are retards and faggots and probably glowies who damage the image of piracy by making out like it's immoral
piracy is not stealing, nobody loses anything when you make a copy, its the most victimless of victimless crimes, it is a net benefit to society because more people can access this content. seeders are some of the most virtuous people out there, risking fines and jail time to spread information to the masses

>>108291251
i dont care about any of that i pirate because its free and convenient. once i pirate something thats it i can watch/read/play it wherever whenever. end of story. i dont care if it is or is not morally correct its not about that its about the ultimate convenience and being free is just a bonus

I 100% agree with you that we should be honest and just say we pirate because we want the thing and don't want to pay for it, but you're wrong if you think that nobody loses anything.
When we pirate, we deprive the owner of that work of their right to decide how that work should be copied, their copy...right, that's where the word comes from
Just mentioned so that we're all being honest

>>108306041
>but you're wrong if you think that nobody loses anything
if someone cannot afford it, under any circumstance, and copies it, nobody loses anything. there's no possible gain anyway. thus no possible loss.

>we deprive the owner of that work of their right to decide how that work should be copied
This is an entitlement Jews hallucinated in the 20th century. The copyright act of 1709 presumes unauthorized printing implies financial damage, and this is the sole justification for copyright. The idea that 300 years later anyone could potentially make infinity free copies of a book never came up.
