ive heard nothing but terrible things about free VPNs, it would probably take weeks to download a 30gb file

just look at TOR, it sometimes takes 5 minutes to load a basic page with text and low res pics

at least for me it does, maybe i set it up wrong.

Your pic don't work, what is the pic?

Do you use public trackers? I use a private one. They're pretty good about keeping the DMCA fucks out. There was a minor breach a little while back and got flagged, but until then I had went years without it. They apparently implemented new procedures to keep that from happening again, and it hasn't happened again yet.

i only torrent if absolutely necessary at this stage and its usually something really obscure, like some old program i want.
try file metasearch engines for music and movies and stuff, there are some good ones out there.

the pic in op works for me, but heres a direct link : http://s27.postimg.org/4qgokdmrm/FUUUUUUUUU.jpg ;

it shows upon every webpage when i refresh, but i can move it away. i have to wait to call comcast tomorrow because i dont have the account info

i do mainly use thepiratebay, but i also have a demonoid account. i figured if it was so easy for me to join demonoid, anyone could so what was the point


for now im gonna stop all together till i feel 100% confident, because comcast can throttle your bandwidth after 6 strikes and make you take a "piracy law" class online to lift the caps

i was just making an anecdote, the 3 main things i download are entire TV series, movies and PC games. i have no clue what particular downloads they tagged me for though. i have almost 2tb of tv and movies, but it was probably something recent

i also have an amazon prime account so i use that when it has what i wanna watch, but their selection blows. the free 2day shipping is what makes up for it

i'm gonna look into that for the time being. ive always had trouble finding streams that arent low quality or laggy, but if its downloaded lag wont be a problem, and i really have no place complaining about low resolution if its free

still, this shit pisses me off. comcast should call us, or send emails to our ACTUAL email adress, not the comcast.net adress that nobody uses. or how about send a fucking letter in the mail, like they used to?

they shouldnt fucking hijack my browser with spam popups with no real prior warning

If I put out an album, and you "copy" it instead of buying it that's one meal I won't be able to afford.

Ever wonder why music is lacking?  Musicians are working other jobs instead of writing and producing music because people keep stealing their shit.

by your logic it would be stealing to print out a picture and hang it on my bedroom wall without giving the original artist money. fuck that. studios dont lose a single penny when i download something. and i'm not profiting anything from it, other than entertainment. 

its not theft. learn your vocabulary.

i'll admit it is something, but theft isnt the right word. and piracy really isnt a great word for it either.

a better word would be... copying. but thats too bland and not buzz-wordy enough for people

It is theft. I'm not judging you for it, but you have to understand that when you steal, you might have to face the consequences.

Well yeah, anywhere you can just download torrents with no account or can get one so easily you might as well be able to use the site without it, you're going to have this issue.

No tracker is 100% immune, the only one that could ever be is one that literally no one uses to begin with.

Invite only trackers are where you want to be. The DMCA people would waste a ton of time trying to get an invite (I have never once seen some random noob with one post get invited, they're always given out to people the inviter has known awhile and trusts) and that time could be better spent just trolling the public and semi-private trackers. But like I said, a while back mine had a breach (because some idiot ended up linking the tracking info the site uses to a public download elsewhere, or something along those lines) so nothing is guaranteed.

Do we really have to go down this road? Your album getting copied isn't one meal you won't be able to afford. You never would have been able to, to begin with. The pirate is simply taking something for free that they can. If piracy didn't exist, they still most likely wouldn't have bought the album.

Are people who listen to music through Youtube stealing? That's "one less person to buy your album" when they can get it for free on demand anyways.

most real artists aren't obsessed with profit anyways...they just want people to hear their stuff.
i go to enough concerts that it makes up for the whole downloading thing, imo.

music is shitty because the industry (the business and money making) focuses on the shittiest music, as does the culture, and because the music industry focuses on some daft notion of "the entire package" like as if these turds are actors or dancers or something, performers basically, and only pretty-dumb packages get to be made out of the myopic daze of fame and celebrity. and thus it's always been.

all the best musicians do not care about album sales. because they are making music that doesn't revolve around album sales...well, mostly. i still wouldn't say piracy is a good practice to just do all the time, even (especially) with your favorite bands. you should support them as much as one can but...it's not really taking more than a few cents a pop, out of any artist's pocket, when you download an album. what you're really doing is taking 20+ dollar's (usually) out of an executive's wallet.

fuck em. they are the bane of music. even musicians who make GOOD music for those SHITS have to make it with their hands tied behind their backs. i'm not saying there is no good popular music, most of it though has been taken for granted from day one, since one's band/album as belonging to a particular label, save maybe in recent years with the indie music scene taking a spotlight. i wouldn't say that they are the same thing...nor metal label's for example, they do not cheapen a bands image or sound, not at least since the 80s/early 90s (which is when most metal was on major label scum; go indie labels).

$ signs on music and art RUIN them both.

no one who is an artist or musician does it for money, lest they are a whore. you may make money, but you need money to survive in this world. though you do not do things simply for that, when you're doing art, otherwise, you might as well not even bother and just stick to more lucrative enterprise.

Either way, the laws on my side and but for the fact piracy is in fact a crime, OP never would have started this thread.  Period.

First hand?  That's really your comparison argument?  Think that through..

It's safe to say there's more people than you know trying to make ends meet playing music.  Like it or not, that takes money.  No money, no more music.  I'd like to think you're familiar with how business works.

you can never really tell where the money's going. there'll always be music. buying music is just entertainment. frankly, i'd buy alot of music if i could afford it, it just only for the fact that some bands and musicians i wish i could shower with money unfortunately do not gig in my area so i can't help support them but by buying albums, which given the length of any musician/band's repertoire, is not really that much money from little old me. and not everyone buys their music, some just go to shows...some don't support the industry at all. and then there are people who wish they could buy all the band's albums but can't afford it, and then that isn't even addressing the fact of favoritism. what band can be considered "the one to support"? the answer is: whichever one you're willing to support first.

that's the business side of things; which doesn't concern me. if the band wants my money, they should earn it.

which wouldn't really happen, i mean, who pays for their own dedicated band? oh yeah, no one. no one does. musician's make music because they want to. +) i know, i am one and i don't deserve shit for it; it's all charity. people like my music and want to pay me to do more of what i do, well then there is a calling...but the point isn't making money. if it was, then you'd see an industry that wouldn't be supported, at least by me, anyways; and hardly worth investing into. that's what buying albums amounts to, an investment.

and there ain't much i want to invest in, and most that i do are one-off's and my piddling cashola isn't going to make a even a single glimmer in their pocket. they need to come to me, then i can support them. otherwise, i need to buy their whole discography, which i am usually not interested in, and even when so, they get how much money from me buying their limited set of CD's, what do i do, collect rarity's? do they get paid for that?

Get a linux distro and crack a neighbors wifi and steal shit on their account.
Thats what I do, though I do wonder if this BBQ place has ever gotten letters to 'cease and desist' downloading. Been going on for almost two years now.

That is actually a crime as well and if that place gets investigated you could be in even more hot water.

Technically I think it is a crime every time a cell phone auto-connects to even an unprotected wifi.  If you aren't intended to have access by the owner what you're doing to that business is also stealing.

I am for free sharing of information, but anyone who does not also apply some standard of personal ethics is an asshole IMO.  Plus when I stole lots of media I was constantly getting malware and having hard drives corrupt.  It's like techno-karma. 

I would like to see the whole empire of art being co-opted into advertising for the benefit of a few be taken down, but the average pirate just seems to be a cheapskate who wants to enjoy the amusements of popular culture without paying the admission price.

Ever wonder why music is lacking?  Musicians are working other jobs instead of writing and producing music because people keep stealing their shit.




You can't pirate live music. That's why most bands tour a shit load now.

I got nothing against mac users, the cutting edge of technology can be a dangerous place :sadyes: I understand some people prefer ease of use over sheer volume of potential features and customization, but in my position macs are out of my price range.  I more have a collection of components that I switch out.  I would totally be open to messing around with Apple components but I'd always rather just upgrade my PC situation if I have extra funds in the tech budget :shrug:

that may be true in court cases, but not when it comes to people sending complants to you ISP. and comcast doesnt need proof to throttle your bandwidth with the 6-strikes thing. all they need is enough complaints

lots of people have gotten letters even though their upload is set to 0

i was too for like 6 years :shrug:  i honestly dont see why they just started tagging me now considering how much media ive torrented.

ive been looking into PIA. probably gonna try their 4$ trial. if the speed is tolerable it will be worth the 35$ a year or whatever the full price is

companies that own the digital content set themselves up in the torrent swarm, or pay private companies to, and send out letters to ISPs notifying them of who it sees in there.

it seems like most ISP's are good about ignoring them. comcast is the only one that will actually hijack your browser and throttle your bandwidth it seems

I've been downloading music since the late 90's and I love it although nothing is as good as Napster used to be. I did buy all of my music before I could download , but that was in the past, we're in the future now where you can get almost any song with a couple clicks. Why would I get in my car to drive across town to buy a CD when I could just download it for free. When I get the CD home I have to turn it into an mp3 anyways so I can put it on my mp3 player. Buying music is obsolete and record stores are obsolete. By torrenting I'm just cutting out all the middle men.

Even though I download the artists still get my money. If they're are good I will go to their concerts and/or buy their merchandise. Another plus is that if you don't buy their albums you are forcing them to tour and you can go to more concerts.

there is no admission price for a CD or Television.

i find a CD on the street, i'm not returning it to it's rightful owner, the label, no, i'm keeping it. i go to my local coffee chop, i'm not paying them for watching their cable...or a friends.

jerks just want more money. sorry but you can't have all the money you think you're owed. nobody can.

When I was in college we had an all fiber-optic file sharing network that was insanely fast (~1gig/s if I remember right from within the college, and maybe 200-800mb/s between other colleges) and had absolutely everything (music, games, utilities, movies) easily searchable.  Lots of people didn't segregate their shared files, I assume they just didn't know any better as this was all new to most people, so you could easily just poke around on other people's hard drives  which was interesting.

That beat the pants off Napster.  It was run on a program called i2hub.  I just accumulated shit that I didn't need though, somewhere I probably still have old hard drives filled with pre 2004 porn, music, and games, but now I just pay for my shit :shrug: I just enjoy things more that way for some reason, especially since so many of the games are small developers who are really making an effort to break away from traditional means of distribution and that is something I want to support.  I wouldn't feel right playing if I didn't pay.

i wouldn't either i had the money.

i don't feel bad about downloading though. it's not really hurting anyone , other then those whom i frankly couldn't give a fuck if they topple, which they won't, they'll just push out another Taylor Swift and boom, they recoup.

but if could i'd buy my shit too...right now, i can't, so i use Netflix, i still have a bunch of movies i haven't watched yet, that i've DL'd long time ago. but i try not to download movies (they are watched and i don't use VPN's or anything, never had too) but not just because it's kinda iffy and you could get a warning/strike, but i just would simply like to avoid downloading it, simply because i have a surplus already. not for any moral obligation. though there are things i'd really LOVE to support, even after having watched/listened/played it, i'd still buy it to own it and the packaging and any extra's...though i just simply can't afford to most of the time. i have so much music, i don't need to DL any but if i wanted to i wouldn't feel bad either, being that i couldn't buy all the music  i like ever anyways...i thought i might try and buy my favorite albums from my favorite artists, when i could, and especially on Vinyl when i get a turntable and set-up for playing them...but mostly 'till then, i'd probably just buy it online anyways, but if i'm gonna do that, then there's no point with any of the music i have already DL'd, unless it's something i don't have, which is not a whole lot.

i still wouldn't feel bad anyways. they can come to Canada, and i'll go see them live, and they'll get fan support. otherwise, lets hope your world-wide sales are even a dent in what it cost to produce the album, because otherwise, you don't get diddly-squat from shit...especially from me; even if you put out like fifty albums, dude, i'm not gonna buy them all. KISS can make a a few million each off an album because they have retarded fans that'll buy every single piece of KISS they can, so they can say they have it. not most bands at all can, however.

or just put the clap down on the interweb, whatever. i try not to DL when i can buy because i want the total product and want to vote with my money, but how rare is that, i ask myself...i usually don't find anything that worth it. Netflix and Youtube are my friends. broadcasting is a feral enterprise. am i paying for some radio station to broadcast the Beatles for me? no. they just do. so am i stealing from them?

either clap down the interwebs, or deal with the gray area. people don't want to waste their money on something that isn't assured or that they'll get tired of. it's just simply the way we work. so people will continue to support the means they have to see outside of said grey area and get a good look at what they might seemingly want to buy. broadcasting sucks. art sucks. business sucks. life sucks.

there is no moral ground being tread here. :shrug:
