I haven’t sailed the high seas since Limewire. I’ve got some learning to do
“change plans to watch the movie”? As in, i planned to watch it, but now I won’t?
Lol well done.
My plan changed to “launch Kodi”.
why you guys still paying for media is beyond me
I mean, sometimes you wanna buy a thing you like. Crazy concept. We also wouldn’t have any media if everyone pirated.
Now, in the case of movies and TV, I totally pirate, and I get why people would pirate because you don’t even own them on streaming services. Never know when Amazon/Disney/HBO/Whoever is going to randomly take your show down because they don’t feel like paying for the license anymore, etc. This is exactly what happened to my mom with Funamation, it got nuked and Crunchyroll bought it, but you can’t even watch some shows anymore cause of licensing. So we pirate almost every anime now.
But when DVD was still the main way to watch, it was mostly fine because you still owned the disc, and could watch it on like any player. So buying media back then made sense.
We also wouldn’t have any media if everyone pirated.

If nobody copied, a lot of media would get lost to time.
I pirated three copies of Starship Troopes and I’ll download it again just out of pure spite.
You wouldn’t download a car
I got into 3D printing so I could pirate copy physical object.
Hey kiddo, you wanna try some piracy?
I must be “using” that page wrong. I never find shit of use, or things I do find are disorganized random directories that have 8 episodes of a Korean soap oPera in Russian.
Jacket and Qbittorrent. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m a fan of Piracy megathread
Your first mistake was paying for an ad supported plan
Anyway thanks to Hollywood accounting only a few billionaires will get your money and not the people that actually worked on the movie
See kids, this is what happens when you stop pirating.
Honestly that’s why i pie rate. I get to keep that file and put it in external drive, and it will never be unavailable.
i had to buy rainbow brite and the star stealer because i could not find it ANYWHERE else but you can bet if i can figure out how to do it i’m absolutely ripping it and seeding it for anyone else <3 content was meant to be shared
Jeez that brings back some memories. I think the only scene I can remember is a bunch of people the bad guy made sit on an ice planet (?) to weave a net to cover the entire surface.
for real; i watched it and care bears 2 religiously every day growing up <3
I found a magnet link that seems to work, which incidentally had a pic from the scene I was talking about.
came from this forum thread
omg you’re great (imma still gonna keep the dvd just to have it since i found it for a really decent price but this is super)
i hate how it’s so hard to find movies and cartoons from the 80s because most of the studios that made them got bought out and now the big streamers just sit on it and don’t make them available because it’s not profitable :/
Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.
Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.
Let’s hope Steam gets overrun by bean counter dickheads as late as possible.
So long as gaben draws breath that won’t happen, and his children are VERY in line with their fathers vision and choices from all appearances.
So at the earliest we have at least one generation after gaben that we likely won’t have to worry.
Typically it’s the grandkids that ruin everything tho when it comes to family businesses. Normally cause the kids suck ass at teaching their parents wisdom.
And the great grandkids basically ALWAYS ruin everything.
Still weird to think of valve as a privately owned family business. But it is.
Early Netflix proved it too and are currently showing us what happens when the service gets worse
Absolutely. I haven’t personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.
That’s some tasty pie!
Either buy the DVD or pirate the movie. Myself, I have all of the movies and the show on disc.
I’m not from Buenos Aires, but I say kill 'em all!
buy the dvd and seed it. ;)
I’m good with that solution!
Wait there’s sequels? No way.
There’s a reason you didn’t hear about them. I never watched the last two that were animated, but 2 and 3 were really bad.
You poor bastard. The 2nd movie was bad, but the third one was bad in such a way that it couldn’t even be a “so bad it’s entertaining”. It just plain hurt to watch.
Sure, but it had T’Pol and the original Johnny Rico, so, I couldn’t hate it. I’d have been happier if Jeri had been dragged in, but Jolene did good.
ETA: Also, it’s a #2 in a Verhoeven-sparked trilogy. Detroit, Klendathu… same difference. Just pass me the jetpack and stand back.
Avast, ye matey!
Where we’re going, we don’t need antivirus.
But… I want to know more.
Only if you do your part.
(is the logic here)
There’s a solution for that…
i love having a dvd library i’m just scared they’re gonna stop producing them all together :(
I mean, they still make vinyl for gods sake, I doubt DVD and Blu Ray are going anywhere.
All the more reason to home onto 'em.
There are better solutions than literally anything that could be behind that Amazon link.
I clicked it hoping it was a Nas or other PC ready to sail the seas, I was disappointed.
If you’re looking for a Nas I like this one
$15 for a 4K disc that can’t be taken away from you. Physical is the answer.
It’s an answer 🏴☠️
And it can be bought anywhere other than Amazon.
You’d think, right? Best Buy and Target don’t sell them anymore. Walmart is hit and miss on anything other than new releases.
For national availability it’s pretty much Amazon these days.
Hell, they sell the DVD for five. Let’s be honest, that’s not a 4K kind of movie.
You can really see the “made in China” on the costumes
Unless your Blu-ray player can’t phone home to verify the license on your disc in which case it stops working.
You’re confusing Blu Ray (which requires nothing like that) with BD-LIVE which does.
But, honestly, I haven’t seen a disc with BD-LIVE in ages.
So your saying I could physically take it away from you. 🤔
Someone possibly could, just not you. ;)
Starship.Troopers.1997.US.25th.Anniversary.DV-COYS
the superior 25th steelbook anniversary release which was regraded for dolby vision and is generally considered the definitive release. Out of print, $70-$100 online given the limited supply and the demand for the best version
They stopped printing the 25th anniversary because it was the more expensive version (steelbook) but they could’ve pressed it into the same stupid plastic case as the $15 version they keep on the market
Piracy is ethically and morally correct against hostile corporations that refuse to provide the best quality product, or provide it temporarily then remove access to only then provide a subpar product, especially when said corporations have excessive amounts of capital.
Also fuck amazon
