I've heard there's a service called PirateBay that offers movies free of DRM. Maybe people considering being Sony customers in the future should give it a try.
The Pirate Bay is considered one of the worst pirate sites now. Of course, if you can find what you want, then you can, but any piracy community will recommend against it due to nonexistent moderation (eg. against viruses), poor navigation, and lack of uploads due to them not issuing new uploader accounts for several years now.
I use Ublock on Brave (chromium). Ublock is supposed to be unnecessary with brave alone, but I use it all the time to delete annoying UI elements mostly permanently.
Why anyone still uses vanilla Chrome for personal use is beyond me while brave exists and is actively maintained. It's essentially youtube premium for free even on mobile.
Well first of all, uBlock is a version that was sold to advertising companies many years ago, which is why uBlock Origin was created.
uBlock Origin is the one that Google blocked on Chrome by redesigning how extensions work, creating a big fuss. You could try uBlock Origin Lite but, well, it's called Lite for a reason, as it can't block as much stuff. Or you could switch to a browser that supports adblock extensions, which is Firefox.
I meant ublock origin. I use firefox and brave pretty interchangeably. Firefox is better in some ways but utterly infuriating in others.
Fun fact: internet speed tests have been reliably faster in firefox for years for whatever reason. And the volume boost extension I use there doesn't work in fullscreen on brave for some reason, which is mostly why I watch videos predominantly in firefox.
I just tested with chrome + ubo lite, and it worked perfectly fine with no ads.
People keep complaining about it, so I'd like to ask again... what websites aren't getting ads blocked by ubo lite? Everywhere I go, I haven't actually noticed any degradation in blocking capability.
IPT has a very bad reputation because it arbitrarily shakes down users for money (suddenly demanded to pay and banned if you don't) and attacks its competitors with DDoS, malware uploads, peer leaks, etc
Usenet, with radarr as your user interface. Yes, you'll have to pay (on top of what you pay for Internet access) for Usenet access, but it's cheaper than paying for multiple streaming services
and redefined the terms of "sold" in their contract to mean "rent, with a one-time fee"
it is more immoral to sell something you can't legally "sell" (permanently and irrevocably transfer ownership of a product), than to pirate that content (which has no level of expected payment)
Let me just say, I fuckin love piracy, but it's more like a speakeasy that piped booze in from everyone's house into the bar instead of just keeping the bottles above the bar. Booze all the same though
I dislike the term "pirate" when used to describe unauthorized reproductions of a work. I prefer neutral terms like "archivist". Calling someone a pirate reduces the conversation to pejorative labeling, i.e. a dysphemism. When we turn a blind eye to that, or worse we embrace it, we lose the opportunity to have a balanced/adult discussion about what is and should be legal.
