LunaSea, the open source Usenet monitoring app is pronounced dead for the most part. The developer via a Reddit thread said this:...

Back when we would record onto VHS, is that considered piracy? Found a super bowl XXXI tape from my Uncle circa 1997. I'm curious lol....

I have been using this config for qBittorrent for awhile and been working for the most part. Sometimes it gets "connection status: Firewalled" I would fix this by going to settings -> connection and click the "Random" button a couple times and save and then it would work again. This seems to not work anymore. Is there a...

If you cannot pass on your ownership rights to your purchased games to your children, then you cannot pass on your copyright either, I guess?

Looking for more modern high quality files for a QRS player piano system. New to this, but it seems like midi files are the most likely to find since specialty qrs / player piano file formats seem nearly nonexistent on the internet....

What is considered the best/safest way to pirate printed magazines? On the Awesome Piracy-repo, there are some links, but they either don't work or look sus (except for maybe magazinelib.com)....

Amazon Prime, like many services, is a DRM hell. It won't go to over 480p on Firefox on Linux at my end. However, instead of a rant, I am interested in why this is happening.

But I stopped when I grew older and made money. Except...

Does anybody have the impression that Stremio may be a honeypot of some sort?...

Hi,...

It's not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking...

I've been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I'd imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I'd be starting over.
