Amazon has confirmed that it's cracking down on third-party Fire TV apps that enable users to stream pirated content... even apps that are sideloaded rather than downloaded from the Amazon Appstore. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6776394/2025/11/12/amazon-fire-sticks-illegal-streaming/ #AmazonFireTV #Piracy #VegaOS #FireTV #MediaStreamers

remember that if you exclusively #pirate corporate media then megacorporations will suffer beyond human understanding and lose quadrillions of dollars and this is Bad so don’t do it
avoid #piracy at all costs
if you want to watch movies or TV shows, listen to music, etc. do not go to this megathread because it has detailed instructions on how to do that for free and that is illegal and it robs corporations of their desperately-needed profits. it even has helpful information on how to stay safe while engaging in any form of piracy! beware!
if you want to play video games for free do not read this megathread because it has instructions on how to do that safely and effectively. pirated video games can contain dangerous malware, so pirates should make sure to download pirated video games indiscriminantly so that they get the malware that they deserve. they should certainly not download exclusively from DODI and FitGirl because these two uploaders are well-known to be completely safe
things to be especially aware of: make sure to never use a VPN when downloading pirated media (which you should also never do) because then your ISP will be unable to identify the piracy. they need to be able to identify if you are pirating something in order to send you threatening emails or take other action against you. remember that your ISP can see that you are downloading pirated media anytime you do that without using a VPN
make sure you never use an ad-blocker such as AdBlock Plus in combination with a browser such as Firefox because this robs corporations of ad-based profits and makes the internet a safer place to browse, especially on illegal criminal scum piracy sites. remember that Google Chrome is a browser for law-abiding corporate subjects and therefore it has disabled the ability to use an ad-blocker so that you will be a better revenue source for megacorporations
do not consider getting a Seedbox under any circumstances because this will make piracy even more safe and arguably more convenient than a VPN
above all, if you are interested in remaining a law abiding citizen and these instructions are at all unclear, send me a message so that I can clarify further because I would never want to cause our beloved megacorporations to lose profits in any way whatsoever. a criminal scum pirate lowlife would be able to give personal recommendations on what to do or how to find certain media, but thankfully I would never do such a thing

repeatedly pirating movies that I hate in order to put the media corporations in crippling debt (every download costs the company $10,000 USD because piracy is theft)

Herman, the creator of Bear Blog, noticed that links for downloading pirated copies of his JustSketchMe app were all over Google's search results. So he turned the tables.

Just making sure: the #apartheid #settler #colony committing #genocide in #gaza and serial #warcriminal, which uses #pagers to maim #children, executes #aidworkers and lies about it, bombs every single #hospital, lies about #beheadedbabies, murder their own civilians under the #hannibaldirective, displace #indigenouspeople and engage in #landtheft (and the list goes on), is now engaging in #piracy and #kidnapping in #internationalwaters , and our media goes “this is fine”?

I'm nailed on for:
- Why and How to Set up a Housing Co-op
- Antiuniversity Website, This Year And Beyond!
- Don't Wait for Permission: Antiuniversity & Cooperation Town (a live recording of @punchcard)
Maybe for:
- Building a Cooperative Alternative to High Street Banks w/ Rob Callender (a live recording of @punchcard)
2/3
I'd love to go to these but can't:
- Archiving and Piracy: Talk and Workshop
- Black Housing Cooperatives: Past & Future
- Shining A Light on the Back End - Governance
- Museum of Enclosure - Film Screening - Trespass
- Worker‑Owned Markets: A Viable Alternative?
- Introduction to Anarchism
- The Tottenham Feast
- Speculative Fiction for a Post-Capitalist Society
I might go to the Friday or Saturday one (online) of this:
- Mapping Care Webs
3/3
I was of the opinion that it is way more unethical to give money to the powerbendingly rich oligopolies controlling our media and culture (and way too often our corresponding laws) than to pirate long before it was cool.
But I'm not shaming anyone, all are welcome to the high seas! Here, have a parrot 🦜
I'm convinced that in the history books we'll credit BitTorrent for having preserved a significant chunk of humanity's cultural production

You may have heard about the class action against Anthropic, who trained their models using pirated, copyrighted works (including mine):
Since they are settling the suit, you may want to ensure you can be contacted by counsel; you may be owed damages. (Amount TBD. Don't get your hopes up, but expect more than zero!)
The Authors Guild has useful information on how this impacts authors and what authors need to do:
