  • On music alone… I have 774 albums on my library, of which I probably legit own like 20-30. At a conservative 10€ per album, that’d be around 7500€ on music. I also have 81 series, of which some of them are dropout.tv, which I’m legit paying for, so let’s say 75 series that I pirate. I have no idea of the real cost, but let’s say each series is 100€ in bluray. That’s another 7500€. I also have 202 movies, of which I own some, but not in bluray, so let’s assume I’d have to buy all of them. At, let’s say, 20€/movie, that’s another 4000€.

    So, in total I’d say I have around 19000€ on pirated content. There’s no way I could pay for all of it lol, but I also haven’t watched/listened to all of it, so I wouldn’t have bought it even if I could.

    Edit: oh and I forgot about videogames. But I don’t pirate many of those lately anyway, since steam is so convenient, and I also have a big catalogue of free games from Epic. But I did pirate maaaany in the past. When I was a kid I would rent them and then download a “nocd” crack lol, those were the days.








  • I really hope providers tell the governments/companies to fuck off… Here in Spain, they started IP blocking Cloudflare IPs because of legal demands by a football association (LaLiga), to prevent people from watching matches via IPTV… And blocking a lot of legal sites in the process.

    I didn’t even notice until I tried to use Heroic Games Launcher last weekend and I couldn’t authenticate into EGS… turns out they block legendary.gl, so fuck me for trying to play Satisfactory. I couldn’t make it work offline with Heroic, and by the time I added it to Steam with its custom proton profile, moved the save files and started playing, I already had to go. Way to waste my evening.

    But hey! My server running a stack of arrs keeps working fine, and you can just use a VPN if you want to watch your football, so pirates are the least inconvenienced users :)))
