just use ffmpeg to remux the file?
every time you recompress a file you lose quality
Hence the use of the word "remux", it's lossless (no re-encoding).

and as a law student, it's stupid that torrent seeding is considered as releasing something to the internet. It is meant to be penal to be releaser or initial uploader - at least in polish(europe) criminal code, but non-technical judges just go with it, I hate it, but i'm not sure what polish equivalent of polish SCOTUS wrote about it to be honest as always lobbing by big companys is designed to screw over teenagers…
I bought my first pirated warez in Poland as a teen. I bought Atari ST games copied onto 3½-inch floppies at a shady market stall in Szczecin. Good times! (Not sure why the 3½-inch floppy disks are called floppy, because they ain't.) I mean, what was I supposed to do? They weren't available in my country! Sharing culture was strong even without the internet back then. I still fondly remember when I got hold of what w…
They're called floppy because the disc inside is still floppy :) Only the plastic case is hard.

#174I subscribe to Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon (although that's just a byproduct of prime), and am happy to continue paying ~£30/month (which is roughly what a basic Cable package would cost me), and even pay the occasional £20 one off for a digital purchase of a "cinema" movie (see: Disney+'s recent releases, new bond movie etc). However, when studios resort to pulling tricks like [0], artificially limiting content (joh…
Not just tricks. I pay for Netflix and amazon but want to watch Mandalorian, Disney is not available in my country so my options is either try my luck with a vpn or pirate it. If Disney did their homework and launched world wide they'd have my money. Same applies to HBO Max.
That's a shame. I hope they release there soon!
We have Disney+ in Australia but I'm pretty sure we still don't have HBO Max.
Though every service in every country has wildly different content. John Wick 1 might be on Netflix in the US but it's on another service in AU.

-vcodec copy -acodec copy
mp4 files usually contain H.264 encoded video which requires the paid version for audio it usually contains AAC encdoded audio which is not supported at all. You can't get away with just copying.

Yep, I didn't even get into that. We were looking forward to watching the new season of star trek discovery in the UK, but paramount pulled it from Netflix globally for paramount plus which last I checked was still not available here.
Honestly between piracy and a vpn piracy is a better option. You're still breaking the licensing either way, and with a vpn you run the risk of being banned from the service. Not to mention most 'watch service X in the USA' vpn services are shady as hell and I trust random torrents on the pirate bay more than them.

#178Is there a search engine that focuses only on those awesome lists?
Re: A curated list of warez and piracy links
#179I grew up in the late 90ies with internet in Switzerland, and as a broke pre-teen and teenager I was used to getting EVERYTHING pirated and this habit sticked with me, even though when in later years I was working as a software developer. Torrenting, sharing with friends and family is still completely legal in Switzerland. Only after pay services like spotify became a thing and were more convenient than managing and…
I'm very wary of any pirated software these days. A lot of crackers and keygens I obtained long ago turned out to contain viruses. I wouldn't say the majority of the demoscene is like that and maybe even the viruses came from people remaking torrents with modified files then seed-boosted them to the top of the search. A few bad apples spoil the bunch.
We had a saying called: "ungewöhnliche Laufzeitpacker!", 'often and originaly used to shorten the filesize' of an '.exe'-file. Hope this helps cos wayback with the iphones there was an 'official and major bug' i remember, Radio/Press/and Tv warnigs told the people: 'jailbreaked-phones users downloaded viruses on their computers'-media (-;
hint: 'shortend...'

Leeching is. Seeding is not. Its also more of a legal grayzone rather than a blanket "this is allowed".
Downloading isn't really a gray zone, even though some of the content industry would like to paint it as such.
But uploading content is ? hm? even when hatespeech may be seen as an expression of speech, the: "'190 visitors'(-rule)", 'viewed the content' -so it became a threat or worth to be 'investigated' is still such a thing (painting it as such) ?!
