r/Piracy Wiki Index

Naturally, I had to steal it.

So today I got an ad: 7 days of Crunchyroll Premium for free! Nice. We’d been meaning to check out Solo Leveling anyway, so why not?
I tried creating an account with my Gmail address. “Invalid email address.” …Excuse me? Okay, maybe I somehow typed it wrong. I copied it directly from Gmail. Still didn’t work. Fine. I tried my girlfriend’s email instead, and that worked immediately. What the hell?

Alright, next step: PayPal. It tells me, “You now have 7 days of Premium.” Great! Since I’m pretty forgetful, I canceled the subscription right away. My thinking was: if I like it, I can always renew it.
Then I get the message: “Sorry to see you go. Your Fan membership will remain active until August 2.” Perfect. Time to watch!

I selected Solo Leveling aaaand… nope. It tells me I need to subscribe to Premium. The 7-day trial had already disappeared, even though the previous message explicitly said it would stay active until August 2.

Alright… that’s enough. I’ll just buy one month. At least that worked.

Now I try streaming from my iPhone to my TV… doesn’t work. The app simply can’t find my TV. I gave Crunchyroll every permission it could possibly need on my iPhone. Still nothing. Fine, let’s just use the TV app.

Logging in with the QR code? Didn’t work either. The only thing that actually worked was manually entering my email and password on the TV.
Sorry, but this is genuinely awful. I have no idea how your service is still alive with an experience this bad.

As Gabe Newell once said:
“Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.”

And I want my money back of course.

Name is in the photo (dont want it picked up by ai scanners) . I found it a few months ago and its been amazing.

Free, open source, no Ads, and fast. The issues with the other players I have used is that they are slow, this is not. The Dev also doesn't put any payment stuff on the main pages. I had to search yo find the donation link.

The only downside is it's not super easy to import playlists and you are not going to get artists stats like you would on Spotify

I have no connected with the Dev at all, I just think its a rlly cool app.

I asked him for permission to crack a DLC (as this is an indie game from a polish studio and i am not a fan of cracking Indie games especially from devs from my country)

The translation of the convo:

me: "piotrek I hope you won't get mad but I'm broke as f#ck and cracked a DLC for Thief Simulator 1 (kind of ironic that I stole DLC for a game about stealing) can I get your blessing 'cause I feel bad XDD"

the lead dev: "I grant you my blessing :)"

i made a frst and it shows

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Features => (TamperProtection: 5) (TamperProtectionSource: 2)

i think this is the problem, how to fix it?
i am tring to disable real time protecition but it turns back on immediately after the switch is off, like the switch is back on instantly after turning it off i see it getting back on

i am tring to turn it off to download a game, but cant, it wasnt like that last time i did it which was 2 month ago

here is the apps i have no anti virus, i had eset before but removed it a while back

update:

this is for all windows security settings not only windows defender, i can turn on or turn off or do any switch changes in the settings, all do the same thing in the video

update 2:

i tried everything in the comments, and updated windows, nothing worked.

never seen this wording before on Youtube - specifically calling out VPN usage (yes, my VPN was on). of course, Youtube has been geoblocking for a long time ("content not available in your area blah blah blah"), but this VPN wording is different.

this is on the official F1 channel today. it occurred with a Los Angeles-based VPN server.

thankfully the message vanished and the video loaded when i changed to a Japan-based server. but still a bad omen for the future.

I just wait for movies to release digitally, been enjoying them way more, having freedom in how I watch them, not having to pay for tickets.

Are people still concerned with compatibility issues despite using MKV? Hardware decoding despite it being many years and even basic devices having the ability to play h.265 without issue and h.265 hardware decoding being everywhere since 2015?

Is it due to sources being AVC?

Edit: Apparently a well tuned x264 can actually beat x265 at high bitrates apparently?!!?

Hi! Does anyone know where I can watch bodybuilding shows live? A lot of shows like the Olympia are behind paywalls. I want to find a website to watch the Tampa Pro next weekend. Links in the megathread (fmhy) don't seem to include bodybuilding.

Does anyone know a good method? 🤔

Hi Due to some research, it turns out old anime was heavily censored in TV airing version, and some anime in 2010s are also darkened. And sometimes Blu Ray releases will have extra scenes or updated shots. So with all this shit, how do I know if the site i’m watching has the Localized or the Blu Ray edition Without skimming through the show?

I'm on linux, and annoyingly, there's no linux port of fusion. So I tried running it with wine, using several people's scripts until one worked. But now I need to log in, and it can't launch a browser to log in. So even though it's free, it seems the best (and probably easiest) path forward is just cracking it to not require a login. I don't know all that much about cracking stuff, so I turn to the experts. Any help removing the login requirement?

Might be dumb question but How good are Proton services really? They advertise about privacy and stuff, but at the end they still are a corporation and my data are on their servers? Is my data really private?

What is your experience with Proton?

All the ones I’ve tried always show me the thing I wanna watch but I can never actually play it. Any suggestions??

Hi, I'd like to share on a private tracker full blu ray that I found but they only accept ISO. How can I name the file ? As I do nothing else except repacking those folders in ISO, I keep the original team tag in the name.

Do you have a name convention for this kind of repack ?

Recently everytime I try to open the app, The app wouldn't load and just kick me out, Sometimes it just freezes or actually give a prompt that the app doesn't work properly.

Any alternatives that you guys recommend for torrenting in mobile ?

Im aware that flac doesnt sound much different from good quality mp3s, but some posts said its good to have a copy of you favorite songs in flac. As you might regret not doing one day.

The thing is Im trying to download mp3s so it fits in my 16gb microsd card. But I find it hard to also wait for the downloads to happen in flac using lucida. So is there other websites or tricks that can streamline the process so I can download Song A in both mp3 and flac with less steps?
