How far will they go in order to monopolize everything? I know we always have "spare heads" for sites that are victim to these bastards but I fear a possible future dystopia where piracy is almost scarce or extinct.

They'll never stop us. That's just a circle jerk fantasy of the corpos. May the seas be fair, the wind breezy and the grog plentiful 🏴‍☠️

Black Friday sales are coming up if you’re in the US, start buying hard drives so you can actually download what you want and don’t have to rely on a streaming site.

Buy'em now before your tarrifs get ridiculous

I just hit 80% capacity on my NAS, so I was already prepping to buy a couple drives this Black Friday. Maybe I’ll just buy one or two more, which should ride me through the next 4 years.

Just got a 4080s this past winter, and my CPU is still going pretty strong so I’m feeling pretty lucky. It’s fucking bullshit that I even need to think like this though.

I've always hated Crustyroll.

Crustyroll got it's start by standing on the backs of good noble fansubbers who provided their subs for free; and now they've come full circle. They became an enemy rather quickly when it profited them.

Give me a service worth paying for and I'll watch there.

comments
watch together
rating system
multiple servers
subtitles
automatic op skip
watch list
large library

All features I get for free. Why would I pay for a service that offers only some of those.

Just curious what's your setup?

As of Dec. 6, 10,138,526,722 URLs have been requested for delisting from 5,402,321 domains, indicating a rather small number of sites committing these alleged infringements.

Since when is 5.4 million a 'rather small number'?
