Recently got into pirating music again so wanted to know what’s the services or apps you guys use for ripping music from Spotify? Tried using SpotifyDown but it gets the albums unorganized.

Now, this differs based on each service

For some, I'll continue pirating, like with streaming services or Revanced, since pirating is better

For others, I'll decide to buy the product instead of pirating, like with Spotify or Steam, since there's no downside to it

I have only basic requirements:

  • Quality of 1080p

  • Subtitles that are not f*cking out of tune (english subtitles are all I need. Sometimes I just don't catch the words right and need to watch it with sub as english is not my native lang)

  • player that ACTUALLY works on chromecast

I've been looking for an hour, and didn't want to create a post like this to not ask the same stupid questions, but yeah.

Most players don't work on chromecast. Just now I've found the one that does - but the quality is like 480p - and the subs show on desktop, but not after chromecasted to TV.

I've been wanted to watch motha F-in season 2 of tul$a king for weeks now ;__;

Another thing: most of these websites seem to use sort of same supplier/source. They look the same, they have the same players etc. Not all, but most. That's why finding a good one is like going through a shit storm

Not planning to pirate but I am genuinely interested. I encountered an open public WiFi network that has a captive portal (just "press to login", no email entry) to allow users in.

In Germany, although public WiFi providers are no longer responsible for their users' illegal network activity, that does not mean they cannot send any fines or legal mail to whoever actually pirated content on their network.

Question is, how can they actually find who did it? I walked around the area a bit and the public network extends for maybe close a 100 meters across, and it also covers a busy intersection and a full transport interchange station, as well as numerous shops and cafes nearby. Practically hundreds of people can be logged in at any given time.

Now, I get that the network could just have P2P traffic blocked entirely, but if we are assuming that it doesn't, how can a large public network actually hunt some guy who is downloading Bee Movie while waiting for his tram somewhere within this busy area? I get that they can track the IP (as well as see the traffic) but all it allows them to do is terminate the connection if they see suspicious traffic. Let us assume the network owner gets a hefty fine for piracy conducted on their network - what steps can a network owner take to find who did it?

And again, this is assuming that we are talking about a busy area with lots of passersby, and an open (unprotected) WiFi network with a captive page that only asks to press a button (no email, no phone number etc.).

How do public networks survive in a country like Germany with a setup like this?

Piracy often gets a bad rap, but there’s an interesting flip side that’s rarely talked about: in some cases, piracy can actually benefit creators, especially in the music, gaming, and film industries. Here’s how:

  1. Increased Exposure: For smaller or indie creators, piracy can act as free advertising. When people share or download their work, it reaches a larger audience, many of whom might never have discovered it otherwise. This exposure can lead to more word-of-mouth promotion, helping build a dedicated fanbase that may eventually support the artist financially.
  2. Market Expansion: In regions where access to media is limited, piracy can introduce new audiences to content they might not have been able to access due to high costs, restrictive licenses, or lack of availability. This broader access can create new markets where people are more likely to pay for content once they have the means.
  3. Feedback and Improvement: In the gaming world, for instance, pirated versions can give developers early feedback on bugs, gameplay issues, and overall reception. Some companies use this feedback to refine their products and make updates that better serve the paying audience, ultimately improving the quality of the game.
  4. Conversion to Sales: While some people may start as “pirates,” many end up purchasing the content if they enjoy it. A downloaded album or game can be the first step in someone’s journey as a fan. Once invested, they’re more likely to buy merchandise, attend concerts, purchase sequels, or subscribe to streaming services.
  5. Cultural Influence: Movies, music, and games that spread freely through piracy often become cultural phenomena. This visibility can boost mainstream interest and lead to revenue in other areas, like licensing deals, collaborations, and brand sponsorships that benefit the creators.

Piracy isn’t ideal, but it’s worth considering that, under certain conditions, it can play a surprising role in a creator’s success.

My kids recently performed on national TV, and the recording is available online for a few months. I wanted to save a digital copy of their performance, so I tried making a screen recording with some capture software. However, each time the video starts, the recorded file shows only a black screen. I understand this is likely due to DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions. Is there any way I can obtain a digital copy of their performance on national television for home use? Any advice would be appreciated

So, I want to release a really good piracy tool on Github, something that a lot of you want.

A spotify downloader not for albums, not for playlists. For an artist's entire discography.

It sorts the songs in folders like [artistname] > Albums > [albumname] > songs, and it uses Youtube as an audio source, 192kbps.

The question is: will my repository get taken down by Google since I use their API?

Or will I get in legal problems for helping people pirate?

i got youtube premuim before the whole ad-blocker thing mainly bc i listen to music a lot and was out of the house for half the day so i watched youtube on my phone and ad-blocking wasn't an option but now if im gonna start getting ads either way i might as well just switch to spotify since its cheaper or get songs how i used to get it before i had any money.

(i do have ad-blocker active btw but ig they disabled it without me getting notified)
