Ya lol piracy communities famously never discuss anything that isnt piracy. Like how every music tracker forum has the vanity label category with independent musicians with bandcamp links or like

Woof, well I was genuinely trying to see the differences but I guess these weirdly aggro responses tell me thats gonna go nowhere. I learned a lil about Usenet, which is cool, happy to be wrong and have that corrected, hopefully u can figure out some way to communicate that might make someone want to help u out with how youre really wrong about the culture and tech of bittorrent too.

@HamSwagwich not sure what you mean re: torrent indexers, you mean trackers? i've never paid, but i have made donation to server costs.
idk how usenet is safer or more private, since you have to download through a server and is subject to subpoena (since unlike trackers they actually do host the files). at best it's the same level of privacy with vpn. free indexers seem like easy honeypots
did a search for a few movies i watched recently and got nothing, so i guess ymmv on finding everything.

@HamSwagwich huh, yeah i guess preference is partly political, where what i'm interested in with p2p is building a different kind of internet that isn't just a bunch of servers owned by someone else, and to me the system being set up so you give back what you take (ie. ratios) is a good one rather than just consuming content as a service, so maybe irreconcilable difference in preference.

The concentration of the webtech nerds from r/piracy at [@piracy](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy) is a sight to behold. Brings a tear to my eye. May a thousand Gazelles bloom from it

this is not how compensation for writers works, generally, and also the whole idea is to break a traditional publishing system that exploits writers in favor of one where people directly pay the authors.

Does anyone have any links for reverse engineering Spotify DRM? I didn't necessarily need it for myself, have plenty of music, and it would be a pretty inefficient means of piracy vs. BitTorrent or like yt-dlp, but I'm curious how it works. It always seems to me like the analog gap is particularly gaping with audio, and I wonder how far down to the metal it's protected. [@piracy](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy)

I read it as them saying it's a good thing and sort of tiptoeing around piracy, as academics do
an analysis of historical video game availability shows that only 13% of classic video games are currently commercially available across consoles and time periods, and only 3% of games prior to 1985 pirates keep culture alive ❤️ [https://zenodo.org/record/7996492](https://zenodo.org/record/7996492) [@piracy](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy)
