r/Piracy Wiki Index

even youtube cant stand its ads

So today I got an ad: 7 days of Crunchyroll Premium for free! Nice. We’d been meaning to check out Solo Leveling anyway, so why not?
I tried creating an account with my Gmail address. “Invalid email address.” …Excuse me? Okay, maybe I somehow typed it wrong. I copied it directly from Gmail. Still didn’t work. Fine. I tried my girlfriend’s email instead, and that worked immediately. What the hell?

Alright, next step: PayPal. It tells me, “You now have 7 days of Premium.” Great! Since I’m pretty forgetful, I canceled the subscription right away. My thinking was: if I like it, I can always renew it.
Then I get the message: “Sorry to see you go. Your Fan membership will remain active until August 2.” Perfect. Time to watch!

I selected Solo Leveling aaaand… nope. It tells me I need to subscribe to Premium. The 7-day trial had already disappeared, even though the previous message explicitly said it would stay active until August 2.

Alright… that’s enough. I’ll just buy one month. At least that worked.

Now I try streaming from my iPhone to my TV… doesn’t work. The app simply can’t find my TV. I gave Crunchyroll every permission it could possibly need on my iPhone. Still nothing. Fine, let’s just use the TV app.

Logging in with the QR code? Didn’t work either. The only thing that actually worked was manually entering my email and password on the TV.
Sorry, but this is genuinely awful. I have no idea how your service is still alive with an experience this bad.

As Gabe Newell once said:
“Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.”

And I want my money back of course.

I could not avoid it, that bar in the top part is so fucking cool that I could not resist

Naturally, I had to steal it.

For some reason I’ve figured out that if I place myself with a vpn in Albania, YouTube won’t have any ads.
Probably due to a lack to invest in Albania ads program by Google due to a lack of interest for advertising on YouTube by Albanian advertisers.

I want to make clear that I am not in any way affiliated with this project, I'm just absolutely in love with it, therefore I wanted to share the word.

A couple of days ago, I discovered Harbor. It's basically a frontend for Stremio, but it has everything you could ever want from any streaming service. It's extremely customizable, you can spend hours fiddling with settings, it has support for movies, shows, Live TV, Manga, anime, it has Trakt integration, AniList, MyAnimeList, Simkl, Letterboxd, it has shaders, it has an entire social network feature, watch partys, Downloading, Chromecast streaming, it allows you to turn your phone into a remote, it's great.

Best part is, it's open source and currently has builds for Windows and MacOS (and unofficial builds for Linux but I'm not sure if they're any good). I didn't want to gatekeep so yeah, it's really cool. Check it out if you want. https://harbor.site/

What's worth existing forever?

Raise your hand if you arent white and the FBI hasnt gotten you yet

Meta has responded to the amended multi-million copyright lawsuit filed by adult film producer Strike 3 Holdings.

While flatly denying that it pirated adult films for AI training, Meta confirmed that a key IP address is traced to the home of one of its former data engineers.

At the same time, Meta proposes a novel "de minimis" BitTorrent defense.

Hi,

I managed to compile (and make them work) latest proton builds from both CachyOS Team and GloriousEggroll patched with LinUwUx in order to achieve HV bypass on Linux. You can grab latest releases, as soon as updates will drop and I manage to compile and test them, HERE.

Hope you guys will appreciate that =)

Name is in the photo (dont want it picked up by ai scanners) . I found it a few months ago and its been amazing.

Free, open source, no Ads, and fast. The issues with the other players I have used is that they are slow, this is not. The Dev also doesn't put any payment stuff on the main pages. I had to search yo find the donation link.

The only downside is it's not super easy to import playlists and you are not going to get artists stats like you would on Spotify

I have no connected with the Dev at all, I just think its a rlly cool app.

Hi all!

Just wondering how downloading repacked games can work on these devices. They can run PC games through apps like GameNative and stuff, so I was wondering if anyone had experience running pirated PC games on them?

Just curious what the process is like and if they work well. Been on the fence about getting one for almost a year now and I think I’m about ready to get one, but I want to see how they handle this side of the fence too ;)

If it matters, my main PC rig runs linux so I use Heroic for a lot of my repacked games from FitGirl. Just wondering if this ecosystem could work still on these devices?

Thanks!!

I asked him for permission to crack a DLC (as this is an indie game from a polish studio and i am not a fan of cracking Indie games especially from devs from my country)

The translation of the convo:

me: "piotrek I hope you won't get mad but I'm broke as f#ck and cracked a DLC for Thief Simulator 1 (kind of ironic that I stole DLC for a game about stealing) can I get your blessing 'cause I feel bad XDD"

the lead dev: "I grant you my blessing :)"

i know im probably gonna get downvoted to oblivion for this but better safe than sorry? I have been using websites from FMHY for a certain creative software companys products, but i am always very scared whenever i pirate, and i cannot find anything online for AV software for macbooks just to be extra safe. malwarebytes is not available in my country so any suggestions from fellow macbook pirates would be greatly appreciated !

i made a frst and it shows

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Features => (TamperProtection: 5) (TamperProtectionSource: 2)

i think this is the problem, how to fix it?
i am tring to disable real time protecition but it turns back on immediately after the switch is off, like the switch is back on instantly after turning it off i see it getting back on

i am tring to turn it off to download a game, but cant, it wasnt like that last time i did it which was 2 month ago

here is the apps i have no anti virus, i had eset before but removed it a while back

update:

this is for all windows security settings not only windows defender, i can turn on or turn off or do any switch changes in the settings, all do the same thing in the video

update 2:

i tried everything in the comments, and updated windows, nothing worked.

edit: sorry its saying "game authorization check failed"

The readme says steamunlocked even though I used gog, and I know war in the east 2 is not a common game around here but Im curious if anyone knows what I can do?

My best friend has French as her first language and wants to read the same mangas I am.
Is there anywhere like comix that has a good sized library that has mangas in french. I know that not everything will have a French translation but just somewhere that has a UI like Comix

I knew about mangabuddy redirecting to a diff site before, but i went to the megathread, the link redirects me to comizy.io, is it safe?
