I’m testing this this evening. My only gripe with soulseek is that if I want to download a playlist from spotify, I need to manually search for each song.

Soulseek is your friend. Setting up your library will be a tough step, but once done, you’ll feel so free that it will be worth it.

Go figure. Probably they are going to monitor traffic somehow to see if you visit certain websites and if you stay on them for too long, they flag you as a pirate. I’m not concerned, I browse the internet through a vpn.

In Italy they are aiming to block not only soccer streams but any audiovisual content. And they are threatening to fine people using the sites, unlike before, when only the site owners could be prosecuted.

Depends. If we take from when I was a kid? Probably something in the hundreds of thousands or even in the millions. I pirated pretty much everything because I lived in a very small town with no electronics shop so I couldn’t even buy games.

However, in the last 8 years or so? I find that I rarely pirate games anymore. Bundles, steam sales and refunds allow me to buy without worrying about liking the game.

Music is also something I don’t pirate anymore. I’m not one needing thousands of tracks, but rather a small and select collection. So I occasionally buy from bandcamp or other services so I can keep the music I want in my jellyfin server.

Films and shows are a different thing tho. At home whave netflix, so for most stuff we go there, but if something’s not there, I’ll pirate it. So… idk but… some hundreds? I’m not a fan of movies and most of the stuff I watch (which is not a lot) is on netflix.

I just ditched spotify completely in favour of a jellyfin private server that works like spotify for me. If I want to get recommendations, listenbrainz gives me a weekly list based on what i listen.

You need to treat them like a religious sect. When you include the “faith” in the list of reasons why they do shit, it becomes easy to understand.

They are religious fundamentalists and are to be treated like such. Same way people don’t need proof to believe in their god, magas don’t need it either to believe in trump.

Move to a red state. Put up an activity as harmful as possible to humans while keeping it legal and making sure to remember everyone at every moment that you are doing this because there are no regulations.

You can’t convince a maga to stop voting trump with words, but you can force them if their only other option is dying for the lack of regulations.

Unaliving a nazi who wants thousands or even millions of people death is unethical? I’m going to disagree.

They said unethical
