  • Maybe I was a little radical in the OP. The fact is most people don't need to agree 100% with what I said for Hollywood to be in trouble. If 50% of movie fans decide that 20% of the movies they'll watch will be free old movies, the demand for paid movies will already fall 10%. If these numbers keep increasing little by little over the years, it's easy to imagine a scenario where half of the movies consumed are public domain. I don't know how much of the total number of books read every year are public domain books, but I would guess it would be at least 25%. I will try to find some research about this.

    Other thing is people don't look for historical accuracy and political lessons on movies. The vast majority of them just want entertainment. For each movie made about the holocaust, you will find a dozen generic thriller movies that are very similar to what people have been producing for the last 90 years. So you can find escapism in 1930's Hitchcock classics easily. And you can watch your new stuff later, but your screen time with paid movies would already have been reduced, and Hollywood won't like it.

  • White Nights - Dostoevsky

    The Demons - Dostoevsky

    The Death of Ivan Ilyich - Tolstoy

    Polikushka - Tolstoy

    Short Stories Collection - Tolstoy

    The Metamorphosis - Kafka

    The Trial - Kafka

    In Search of Lost Time - Vol. 1 - Proust

  • There's no need for most people to agree with me. Even if 10% of Netflix subscribers decided to cancel it and move to classic movies, that would already be a crisis for them.

    And don't forget that humans have flock mentality. If this gets a little popular, it will be easy for it to explode. Just look at Nintendo now trying to contain the retro gaming boom and emulation.

    Next ten years we will see classics led by John Wayne, James Stewart and Kirk Douglas going public, and that would be enough for millions to drop the new so-so movie stars.

  • Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Hollywood is about to face its greatest enemy ever: itself

  • Get the IRD file for your release here: http://ps3.aldostools.org/ird.html

    Then download these two programs:

    ird_iso_patcher.exe: https://github.com/13xforever/ird-iso-patcher/releases

    3k3y iso tools: https://rpcs3.net/cdn/tools/3k3y.zip

    First I would advise making a backup copy of your ISO. Open the IRD file and the game ISO in the ird_iso_patcher.exe. It will apply the IRD file to your ISO. Then open the modified ISO with the IsoTools. It will create a new decrypted ISO. You can mount it or extract it, and then open it on rpcs3.

    Is there an adblocker for football pitch-side boards?

  • The problem here is not only sharing games but cracking them too. That is the main problem actually. I'll quote myself just to clarify it.

    Crackers are disappearing because the job got too hard and they don’t have any incentive to do it. Add money to the equation, make them earn a little for it, and then both gamers and crackers will benefit from it.

  • What I'm doing here is seeing this with a practical mentality. Crackers are disappearing because the job got too hard and they don't have any incentive to do it. Add money to the equation, make them earn a little for it, and then both gamers and crackers will benefit from it.

  • Would you rather have a game cracked and pay a fraction of the official price for it or pay 70 bucks for it on Steam and have to play it with Denuvo? I could live with some old-fashioned DRM if it meant I was saving 60 dollars.

    Could offline physical piracy be good to games?

  • You know you can create an external audio track, right?

    If you use a player like MPV or something like it, it will load by default the external audio file with the same base name (except the extension). For instance, if you have a video named Famous.Movie.2024.x264.AAC-GroupName.mp4 and an audio track in a file named Famous.Movie.2024.x264.AAC-GroupName.m4a, MPV will load that external audio and you will be able to seed the original file without need to remux the video and the new audio into a new file. This way you will save a lot of space.
