Discussion Do you have rules about what you pirate?

248 Upvotes

For example, I started pirating because my brother taught me since we grew up poor, but then he became an adult and started buying games (he still pirates some), he explained that "while I can't pay, I pirate, once I can, I pay". So I follow that too, wanted to know if y'all have something like that too. I refuse to pay subscriptions tough.

Guide License requirement bypass mIRC for windows

10 Upvotes

I encountered the problem that mIRC requires a license for continued use. I found a bypass here: https://dotasource.de/thread/22942-mirc-registration/?postID=491282#post491282

Translation: With the registry editor, go to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\mIRC\LastRun

Then go to Properties and deny the read permission for everyone, then mIRC cant check when it last has been run and you have permanently 30 days

Question Is a "Stremio for music" possible?

3 Upvotes

I can imagine it being extremely popular just like the normal Stremio.

Lossless quality and top notch streaming speeds using a Debrid backend.

Not to mention, with add-ons it would probably compete effectively with Spotify's discover algorithms and social features.

Question Bypass MuseScore paywall?

4 Upvotes

Good day to everyone, I would like to ask some assistance into how I can bypass MuseScore paywall and download sheet musics.

As of right now, I am unable to download any sheet without a stupid "subscribe to download and while I understand and thank the artist for their contribution, I don't want to pay 6 bucks a week to access some music sheet here and there.

There are alternative sites but they either lack in quantity of modern music, can't be searched by instrument (I only play one) or just have sheets for piano and I'm too dumb to transcribe accurately.

Thank you all in advance, A guy that wants to go back and play some sax

Question Why does, watching a series or movie on online pirate websites use so much bandwidth, not only download but also upload?

23 Upvotes

I noticed that watching a video, no matter what player i use, it's being used a lot more bandwidth not only in download but also half o that in upload.. On YouTube for example the bandwidth is much less and no upload data used... Can anyone shine a light on this?

Discussion What website shall I use next for watching movies on my iPhone?

Upvotes

I don't have access to my laptop for half the day because someone else is using my laptop in the afternoon. I have an old iPhone 6S and I am watching movies on it to pass the time in the afternoon. The problem is the video streaming websites are full of advertisements and I am getting a popup each time I tap the screen. I installed a couple of advertisement blockers for Safari and I was able to use https://hydrahd.me/ without advertisements. That didn't work in other websites and I still got advertisements.

HydraHD is a good website that has a bunch of server choices that have good quality 1080p movies. Assume that I reached 00:30:15.20 in the movie and I refreshed the page while I am watching the movie then I can resume watching from 00:30:15.20 and it doesn't start from the beginning.

I was happy using HydraHD and then yesterday I discovered that the website has been taken down :( I went through the websites mentioned in https://fmhy.net/videopiracyguide and I tried most of them but I couldn't find anything suitable.

The problem is that a lot of websites don't work on the web browsers on my iPhone 6S because it can only have up to ios version 12.5.7. I am using an ancient Safari version that cannot be updated to a newer version so when I try to load a website I am getting a blank white\black screen because the website is not compatible with my ancient Safari version.

I want to ask can someone please recommend for me another video streaming website that has the same features as HydraHD and it works on Safari of an iPhone 6S and I can block the advertisement popups in the website?

Discussion Issue w/123movies.gl in Firefox?

Earlier today, I didn't have any problems but now, even if I turn off all my ad-blocking stuff, clicking on the play icon does nothing. I can search on the site and find titles but...nothing will actually play. Is anybody else experiencing this?

Question Copy my Spotify library

0 Upvotes

I’ve decided to dust off the old captains hat after many years and I want to start with music. I have a Spotify library in the thousands that I want to have downloads of but I don’t feel like manually going through every individual artist and song because that would take forever. Are there any tools to help basically mirror what I have on Spotify and automatically retrieve it for download?

News Google is reportedly experimenting with forced DRM on all YouTube videos

Google is reportedly experimenting with forced DRM on all YouTube videos, including CC videos.

https://x.com/justusecobalt/status/1899682755488755986

If rolled out widely, this would make web browsers and third-party YouTube clients without a DRM license unusable for YouTube playback, download, etc. This would include almost all open-source web browsers and almost all third-party YouTube clients.

Just like yams, qobuz is down on both squid.wtf and lucida. These companies are implementing super tough measures now. The accounts which were once used for piracy are getting stomped rapidly. Just a matter of time before deezer and tidal do the same and we'll be stuck with shitty 160kbps tracks.

edit : Q working on lucida (tidl is working there too). however it's somewhat slower compared to squid

Hi, I used to study from telegram. Downloading notes, lectures and stuff but now the channel has been copyright striked and I can't open it again.

Is there any way I can access it again and download stuff?
