Fresh data for 2024 reveals that while overall pirate site traffic dipped to 216 billion visits, the landscape is shifting dramatically. Publishing piracy is booming, largely driven by an insatiable global demand for manga. In stark contrast, both music and film piracy have tanked. Despite these changes, the United States remains the top traffic source for pirate sites.
A lawsuit filed by educational publishers in 2024 accuses Google of profiting from textbook piracy. At the heart of the complaint are claims that Google's ‘systemic and pervasive advertising’ of infringing copies promotes pirated copies sold by third parties. In its recent motion to dismiss, Google argued that the publishers' vicarious liability claim fails to meet the legal standard. In an opinion and order handed down this week, the judge agreed - but not on everything.
American Internet infrastructure company Cloudflare is pushing back against increasing calls to broaden pirate site blocking in the EU. The company notes that since similar efforts in Spain and Italy have resulted in extensive collateral damage, there's a need for more transparency and constructive collaboration on the anti-piracy front. Cloudflare also wants rightsholders to pay for their overblocking mistakes.
I'm currently using windows but my Prime streams stutter a lot and are all jittery. it's really annoying. So I'm wondering if getting a mac mini or something a bit more powerful than my PC would help.
Hey Guys! Did anyone managed to save and has somewhere on their drive the old division by zero pirate artwork? The one with the pirate with glasses holding a guitar? I think there was a pirate ship behind? I miss that one and want to show somebody. Thanks a lot in advance! Take care & God Bless!
I was wanting to watch that movie, but the only links that i could find were from a shady website and one from internet archive that is in italian, and it is not available in any streaming service in my region
As per title, what if one wants to have a paid subscription to the likes of Spotify etc, but also the MP3/FLAV version of those tracks? What's the easiest way?
Wasn't there a mega thread around here that was similar to Reddit's only that it links to external website? Any idea where it is? There are several /c/piracy around here so it's kinda confusing.
