reminder that piracy is a moral imperative
- Set up VPN
- Pirate, or if you're willing to give them money, buy Sunday game ticket
- Set your location to Canada
- Watch any game you want
- Go to jail (drug related charges, nothing to do with 1-4)
- Give a billion-dollar handout to a multibillionaire because he wants a new stadium
As far as I know, no one has ever gone to jail or been sued for *watching* pirated streams from sites like sportsurge or crackstreams. This law would make the companies operating those sites felons, but not the users. It's like if you watch a YouTube video that eventually gets taken down for copyright -- they're not going after the viewers.
absolutely terrible. There needs to be some amendment to cut off the ability to tack shit on to bills.
I'm so tired, I just want to stream mid 2000s space thrillers without losing my right to vote.
This would only apply to the individuals and companies *hosting* the streams. You won't go to prison for watching pirated streams.
Neat. I need to find a decent private tracker soon. I have netlfix, mooch off my families hulu and prime, and my ISP gave me a year of disney plus and I STILL need to pirate stream so I can find media that would cost 15 bucks to digitally "rent".
People like to say "oh but the company paid for that thing to be made, they need to make money back".
Motherfucker, unless the gaffers, writers, best boys, and actors still get a cut, there's no reason to pay for it.
I was on the reddit one at some point. I couldn't download anything worth a damn and the freeseed day had the single choice of the tim and eric million dollar movie which to this day, is the worst piece of shit to ever be called a movie.
And the streams will not be available to watch if they threaten the hosts with a felony
Hosts of torrent sites have been threatened with felonies for decades. That hasn't stopped them.
Not better for piracy as a whole, but it means you don't need to stop using illegal streams out of fear of prison
Back in those far off fields of 2018 when I was still a lib I would see people say "we gotta stop them tacking shit on to bills" and the response always was "a lot of those things are good, little bribes to get votes. It's basically the only way anything good ever gets voted through. If every vote was single issue nothing would ever get done."
I've never bothered to see if that was actually true or not, but if it is it follows that a lot of those little amendments must be bad shit too. And also nothing was getting done anyway, so I don't see why there shouldn't be single issue voting.
I mean it's true insofar as it's a natural part of the politicking in any legislating body. If there were some magical, unambiguous constitutional amendment that said bills have to have a narrow, clearly defined scope, stuff would still get passed. There just wouldn't be that incentive to hold onto your vote for a rider that serves the interests of your constituents/your fave lobby/yourself.
uh oh bro you posted cringe. 15 YEARS AT ADX FLORENCE CRIMINAL SCUM.

Set up your own personal Netflix-like service with synchronised playback using https://github.com/streamaserver/streama
this is exactly the kind of shit that will absolutely get passed under Biden while it would have started shitstorm under Trump or any Republican, but libs are going to brunch
get ready for the Clinton years
TL;DR it would only be a felony to *host* the streams, not watch them.
Of course the lobbiest push for harder regulations, now that studios want to replace cinemas with their streaming services.
theres lots of things to pirate w/o a VPN--> direct downloads that aren't torrents
Got it, thanks!
Different question: downloading from filehosters would be generally anonymous right? In the sense that unless I'm already being specifically watched, it wouldn't be as easy to automatically track who has downloaded filehosted content and what the content is (especially if it's both spread over several archives and the name obscured/password protected) as opposed to using torrents?
Thanks a ton, that really cleared up some dangerous misconceptions! :solidarity:
Brilliant! I'll certainly do more research. It really is wonderful how helpful chapos always are. One big family :Care-Comrade:
ProtonVPN and windscribe have very limited free plans (I think windscribe limits you to 10GB a month on a free plan), they also have paid plans too.
they cant give us our money back during the worst pandemic in the last 100 years, but they can worry about this
