For too long imo, piracy had become a “grab it all” environment. The old “Caring is Sharing” mantra seems to have disappeared. So maybe, this Lemmy could revert back 20-30 years to become a real sharing community. IDK.

    The thing with piracy these days is there is a huge fear of legal burden AND extreme protectiveness to prevent takedowns. It’s the same thing as being a gang member and suspicious of new blood being undercover cops. Once you find actual piracy that works, the last thing you want to do is post publicly about it!

        It used to be that just being on the internet made you trusted enough to get the warez. I don’t know how to keep the movement alive with big brother watching out for his homies so hard. Decentralize, encrypt and anonymize I suppose. BT needs an overhaul to prevent attribution. Ten bucks says it’s easily possibile but the VPN companies who have our back will lobby against it, lol.
