Question My family got an ISP notice for a video game (sims 4), allegedly downloaded on the 24th. I have never pirated a video game. Can anyone tell me what’s going on?

Edit: Apparently, it was a DLC or content pack for the game, not the game itself.

Discussion to the seeder who gave us the rest of the Capt. Jack Aubrey–Steven Maturin series... my blind father thanks you, It's a Christmas Miracle!

my father is too old and to ornery to learn anything new, and since he went blind (cataracts, glaucoma, MD) audiobooks have been his only comfort...

I've been sitting at 90% on the entire Captain Aubrey–Steven Maturin series for months; we went to the beach this week and when I came back all 20 books were sitting at 100%

thank you a majillion times you filthy bastard whomever ye are...!

It's a Christmas Miracle...!

Discussion Is anyone else pirating movies and series, just for the sake of image quality?

297 Upvotes

I have subscribed to almost all streaming sites, but the image quality on those is not really good, for example I own 4k monitor but the shows I want to watch are streamed either on lower resolution or straight up worse image quality, Now with pirating I can simply download the best resolution and the best quality of those movies to fully utilize my monitor potential, the difference is soo huge It's hard to enjoy those shows on streaming sites once you tasted the quality and resolution, anyone else does the same thing?

Question Blender assets & mats etc

4 Upvotes

Hey all, did some initial searching for Blender assets & materials etc on the subreddit and found a few topics and of course looked at FMHY but my question is more straightforward – I got to softsaz.ir (and a couple other similar sites), started looking at available downloads but still most big packs are behind a dodgy subscription. Does anybody know of similar sites already that don't do that? Can't seem to be able to get my hands on any tracker invites either for such stuff...

I've got aeblender and vfxmed on the list already but was hoping maybe someone has already gone through the 1000+ pages of google search results of Persian etc websites and has directions? Or perhaps even specific search prompts that perhaps I wouldn't know to use within this context? Tried the Persian "search" addition to other keywords but yeah, a lot to wade through (page 71 atm, yay).

Discussion Just checked out the "Be Streamwise" site that fearmongers about illegal streaming to scare normies off during the holidays

I got played an ad on my podcast today so I checked it out. It's pretty funny and very obviously preys on people who don't really have good security hygiene or a solid understanding of how their machine/the internet works. I mean, there's literally an app for the problem in the first image.

Has anyone ever seen a safe piracy advocacy site or campaign to teach normies how to protect themselves from such simple issues and access content safely?

Stats Sub-discussion: Is there causality/correlation in the stats in the last image? Likely not, but it's funny that it makes it look like 10% of people just use the right sites to pirate streams.

Also, the headline and the statistic in the second image are NOT the same thing. 'Or someone they know' skews it hugely. In the most extreme example, maybe they all know Gary who got scammed of his pension check when he signed up for a fake service. So, Gary got scammed — not 32% of people. 320 people know Gary, cos he's cool. Not implausible. They were all very embarrassed for him when he got scammed, tho.

Discussion Found a new platform with unaired episodes

4 Upvotes

Mourning the loss of my beloved friend, Soap2Day, I went and found a new platform… I’m watching the new season of American dad since Hulu doesn’t have the latest seasons and this website has the completed season. The last AD episode aired on December 23 but the site has the full season. I’m wondering how accurate the episodes are since they haven’t aired on TV yet.

Title, basically.

Is it 1.0? Or it's ok to stop at like 0.7 or something?

Question Looking to find a reverse engineer as I am quite honestly... stuck

Hello:

I recently figured out how the installers for a sett of programs validates the serial number. Here's the problem; while I've figured out which DLL each program user and the function used, that's about as far as I've gotten and now I need someone with way more experience than me to do the last leg and tell me how these programs validate serial numbers.

I appreciate any help given!

I have the DLLs available upon request for anyone who has the sills or just wants to try.

Guide Atmos audio track question

2 Upvotes

I just bought my first Atmos sound system. I have plenty of rips with "ATMOS" in the name, but they don't have a separate audio track for Atmos. Do Atmos rips just play in Stereo if that's what you have your PC set to, and if you have Atmos on your PC, will it play the Atmos mix? (I know I need the atmos app as well, but just curious how it works if there are not multiple audio tracks to choose from)
