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

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.

#piracy

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 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 🦜

You may have heard about the class action against Anthropic, who trained their models using pirated, copyrighted works (including mine):

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/authors-celebrate-historic-settlement-coming-soon-in-anthropic-class-action/

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:

🏴‍☠️ Although not perfect, I do consider the Republic of Pirates a proto-anarchist society. 🦜

Kings and Generals: Golden Age of Piracy - Real Pirates of the Caribbean

📺️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUG5Fy11xAY
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Pirates

"… In the aftermath of the War of Spanish Succession, thousands of sailors found themselves jobless, sparking a wave of piracy across the Atlantic world. From Queen Anne’s War and Privateering to the rise of the Pirate Republic of Nassau, this video explores how former privateers like Benjamin Hornigold and Edward Teach (Blackbeard) turned to piracy. The infamous 1715 Treasure Fleet Raid near Florida became a pivotal moment, enriching and emboldening these rogue crews. We trace the Rise of Notorious Pirates such as Blackbeard, Charles Vane, and “Black Sam” Bellamy as they terrorized shipping routes from the Caribbean to the American colonies. But the pirate lifestyle was more than plunder—Pirate Life and British Crackdown reveals the democratic structure aboard pirate ships, the diverse backgrounds of their crews, and the harsh realities of life at sea. Watch as Britain finally moves to suppress the Pirate Republic and reassert control over its trade routes."

This is getting worse by the minute. I followed @christof|s hint concerning the reproduction of articles from #DHQ / @DHQuarterly looking for one of my own papers (https://digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/16/2/000593/000593.html).

In this case #ProQuest blatantly violates the CC BY-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/) by

I am very much in favour of @adho.org, as the publisher of @DHQuarterly, follows the path outlined by @dingemansemark. I will also log a complaint with #ProQuest through my employer.
