damn, yes another thing I like is the religious music too. I have heard Richard Dawkins say he likes the bible for it's old English poems etc.

not only of Hindus but muslims have some nice songs as well. My muslim friend was laughing after I was humming a quite nice muslim prayer song (Hindi), long ago, but that moment was quite funny.

do atheists give you slack for being agnostic? I have seen many memes on the internet bashing agnostics (quite funny tbh), so asking

The Imperial Japanese ruined Buddhism for me.

yt-dlp

thank you I will give it a go

it doesn't work for me and the devs basically have given up on a very common error.

How does beef taste anyway? I have resolved to never eat it because of my religious upbringing, although I am an atheist now. How does it taste?

this is the idea, that the young men who pirated the hell out of everything someday become "rich" enough to buy stuff and support creators!

3rd world hell hole,

I am offended, how will I ever sleep :')

You are a German are you not? How do you pirate? (.de makes me think you are German, sorry If I am wrong)

My justification: nobody has stopped me yet🤷

I can sense angry Germans staring at your comment

NOTHING in the history of humankind has ever existed like computer data. A 100% identical copy of videos, pictures, and music can be made almost instantly at what is essentially zero cost to the original holder of the data. Any comparison to “stealing” or to a physical object (a car lol) just falls flat because the situation is just so different.

YES!

Nice comment, tq!

I generally pirate first and buy later if I want to support a game. I think of it as voting with my wallet.

I agree with that

I’m especially against pirating products of asshole companies like Adobe. That’s because even if you don’t pay for them you’re still popularizing their products, helping it stay an industry standard.

why are adobe assholes btw? I mean, I seriously don't know. Also, when a company becomes big enough, it's almost like you are hurting yourself by not pirating their products.

For us Indies, getting eyeballs on our books is next to impossible anyways, so I already gave up on the idea that writing will ever be more than an expensive hobby.

I am sorry to hear that. If it ended up on pdf drive, then I guess it's either that, enough people want to read it or pdf drive has a bot which is ruthlessly uploading all the books it can find. Have you tried self publishing on kindle? Also, name your books if you want to, it looks like some eyeballs and popularity will do you some good.

It hurts brick and mortar stores, but then, so do libraries. (Hah)

libraries are not comparable to what damage piracy does to brick and mortar stores and small authors

not ideal, you know, I would prefer it if creators had pay links attached to their accounts and you could anonymously send them money. Pirate something, pay the creator some money if you can. I mean, if enough people do it, the corps would be forced to change the game.

Do you think there will arise a time where no one would want to pay for the services they want thus watering down the quality of the content for everyone? I mean, I think of whatsapp, If I had to pay a dollar a month/year, I would happily do that, but yeah, that's not gonna happen anyday now.

That's one of the services where everyone refuses to pay, thus resulting in an inferior product (in terms of privacy). So, put this into the picture for piracy, do you think there will be a time where people will just refuse to see movies and this would result in shit movies being produced that no one likes.

bigger cut than the artists

that's the shitty part! I don't like that one bit.

I wouldn’t use it for less legitimate purposes because the risk of hosting the content is far too great.

Do countries like Russia care about this? I mean the citizens of that country. Well, let's say I am using a web seed in Russia and you catch me, what are you gonna do ask putin nicely to hand me over :')

what other websites do you use? I want the list, the full list

yeah, one I can vouch for is qbittorrent, it works. Just choose download the first and last pieces first and open destination folder, play like a normal file, except you won't be able to fast forward, I am pretty sure there are apps which can do this though, but for the time being this is enough for me. Also, look at the post again, I have summarized the comments, you probably will find it very helpful
