My piracy is probably equal parts sticking it to greedy corpos and me just not wanting to pay when I can get it for free.

They keep the fun at leave the “stress and stuff” for you

Mr Friede’s motivation was to develop better therapies for the rest of the world, explaining: “It just became a lifestyle and I just kept pushing and pushing and pushing as hard as I could push - for the people who are 8,000 miles away from me who die from snakebite”.

He didn’t do it for anything resembling anti-aging

Edit: oh, just read the last of the post mentioning the dude doing it for anti-aging…yeah, that seems messed up

Meh, i tried usenet about a year or two ago when I was getting back into this, and it was utterly useless for anything that wasn’t English speaking media for myself. Anything locally produced or foreign shows translated (for my kids) where almost impossible to find so YMMV. It seems to have a lot less variety than torrents offer.

I found a private torrent tracker that caters to my liking and now there’s almost nothing I can’t find anymore and it’s also full bandwidth (1gbit in my case) download 90% of the time. Costs are about the same, just for VPN instead of provider and indexer.

I’m sure as hell downloading it!

Probably $3.5 tops

It’s always the poor poor white rich people that have the boot on their necks right? The poor poor oppressed white rich people… JFC

There, Fixed it

A reference to The benefit of having a recommendation engine auto add stuff for you

A recommendation engine is perfectly fine and can be fun to discover new things you might otherwise not know about, but auto adding is a huge nono. You don’t want some random shit getting automatically added to your server and taking up space (or using potentially valuable/limited download credit from a private tracker) just because it thinks it knows what you want to watch/listen to/read. Automatically adding new stuff unsolicited it just a really bad idea.

a new crime of inciting use of pirate IPTV services or software.

This one is particularly nasty, because simply suggesting to someone that pirate IPTV exists can be used to incriminate people that haven’t even done anything wrong. Regardless of your view on piracy, merely discussing something should never put you at risk of criminal charges.

Right now, if you want to add a new movie or TV show, you probably:

Search for it manually across different Arr services

I mean, you only search one arr service depending on the media type.

Check which quality profiles or indexers work best for that media type

Figure out if it’s already available somewhere in your library

You’ve already setup your quality profiles and indexers for your Arrs when you initially configured them, so there’s no need to do that every time you add a new item. If it’s already in your library, it shows when you search for it so not much figuring out.

Manually add it to the right service

Again, you’ve already searched in the appropriate Arr service for the media type. The “manual” action is pressing “Add”, which i assume you’d need to do with this too?

I think I’m confused as to what problem this actually solves?

This is something everyone does in varying degree and does not necessarily mean you have ADHD.

Looking at this behaviour in isolation says nothing WRT whether or not you have ADHD…so the answer is maybe, maybe not.

Only seeding new stuff that everyone else is also seeding is not good for torrenting in general, it will kill a lot of content that’s more than a few years old and/or not completely mainstream.

Aren’t they located in Italy, the Shithole that keeps trying to outlaw all VPNs and/or force them to provide backdoors and identifiable customers? They can only be stopped so many times before they succeed…

Can’t have 20+ tb in a seedbox at a reasonable price

Clearly you just don’t need the coffee, so you might as well just save that money.

I got one a few years ago (Europe), but you just throw them out, they’re meaningless threats without action behind and to my knowledge no one has been convicted based on one ever in my country. But if you torrent copyrighted material without a VPN here, you’ll definitely be getting them.

Nah you’ll quickly be close enough to functionally have 0 problems.

My wife recently got an appointment after trying to reach the psychiatrist for nearly 2 months due to ridiculous phone hours (9-11am, once per week…like WTF!?)…it’s in 72 weeks.

Dude, either taking something without paying is theft, or it isn’t…you’re making an arbitrary distinction for the sake of your own moral or something IDK.
