Also definitely refrain from pasting in the URL into https://archive.is as it is definitely illegal to circumvent paywalls by pretending to be a google web crawler to archive the site

Sigh unzips

Huh. They deleted my post? Or is there a weird lemmy reason why I cant see it in this thread? weird.

Edit: Nevermind. The thread I posted in was a crosspost. See here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/29567097

From the paper (proton drive file) https://drive.proton.me/urls/Z6DPGQCZ0M#GxZ6dDb2oV5W

The results suggest that Denuvo does protect legitimate sales to an estimated mean of 15 percent of total revenue and median of 20 percent, but there is little justification to employ Denuvo long-term (i.e. for more than three months), especially given that Denuvo can have negative technical side effects and is generally disliked by users.

Where the seasoned sailors at

Just because they don’t give a shit about media preservation doesn’t mean they’re not helping towards media preservation by pirating. Just by downloading a torrent you share upload bits of it while you download, even if you stop and delete it after you watch it. And i’d argue, the more people have media, the less likely it will fade away in 100 years.

Also not true, i seed in i2p

And also, leechers help in media preservation as well. The more copies there are of media, the more likely it will be preserved well into the future. Even if they dont seed now, just having and spreading copies of media definitely does help in media preservation

Aggrandize deez nuts bro. And being a hero of digital media preservation is only one of the myriad of reasons to pirate, such as

1. Not accidentally signing away your rights to sue Disney due to forced arbitration when you avail a free trial of Disney+

I’d argue that indeed we do as a community need to justify our actions. Mainstream knowledge and media label us as close to thieves and criminals. People need to realize we just want to share bits and bytes across the internet, and we are stewards of media preservation and freedom of information. As cracking down piracy become normalized, it’s even more important to have a voice in society, and reassure people that what we’re doing is morally grounded

Let them know. Let them send their letters. I’m running out of toilet paper to wipe my ass with

(i’m also gonna ambush my friends about Signal on sunday and coerce them to download it to get rid of the green bubbles

Hop on i2p! I dl’d it there.

It’s still very active. Postman.i2p has new content every day

Welcome! I2p is a pretty cool project and it has way more uses than for torrenting, but i was drawn to it for that purpose when I started out.
