Slashdot Mirror

Going out to movie theaters were a great social event in the early decades from 30's to 80's, heck people even dressed up fancy to go to the theater. They even would broadcast news before the movies began in the 50's, 60's.

Now more and more people would rather enjoy movies at home in front of their large screens, surround sound in the comfort of home with them self or with family and loved ones in a nice quiet atmosphere.

the only way to get that first run experience at home is through piracy. No one wants to sit in a crowded theater full of strangers all lip smacking on candy/popcorn and slurping sodas.

The price of a movie ticket plus small drink, small popcorn is the same price as owning the DVD anyhow.

So now this just proves it's much safer to stay home

go to

http://icefilms.info/ - for direct download television and movies.

or for torrent fans
http://kat.ph/
http://thepiratebay.se/
or
http://demonoid.me/

For those that enjoy watching downloaded media on their television can purchase a western digital WD TV plus, made for pirates by pirates was on of their early slogans since it works like VLC media player supporting all codecs. Can stream your movies off your lan from a shared drive. Or plug in a usb flash drive or external usb hard drive for local storage and can stream movies that way and can even stream youtube for 100 bucks.

Fuck theaters, noone wants to go to theaters with strangers, noise, talking, smells, etc.

piracy is safer and much more enjoyable

Here come the false equivalencies getting +5 in a matter of hours, too.
If you're in America, see if any of these sites are blocked

No? Then your claim that "in america posts of copyrighted music are swept from the internet within hours" is false.

And the audacity of equating people who want to assemble and find redress with their local governments with those who want to get free mp3s. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this sad joke of a comparison. You'll only find naivete like this in the West. If you want to make some accurate comparisons, talk about police brutality in both countries, or maybe talk about Assange if he's ever extradited. In the meantime, get some perspective.

I don't know why campannella pulled his "Choice of Weapon" dynamic remaster/delipped release although he may be working on V4 of the improved version (the original Choice of Weapon CD release is a horrible abortion - hideously compressed by some deaf record company fuck into severe clipping), but campannella's done a shitload of others that are currently seeded as you can see here:

[Btw, Demonoid will allow several (>5) free torrents per month to non-members (number becomes MUCH higher if you have a dynamic IP ;)]

It's not a cure, but it's a hell of an improvement over that some of that hideously compressed shit the music-hating mafiaa memebers puke out and still have the balls to call music.

I couldn't possibly find another site to replace it.

For instance, the Game of Thrones paperback bookshelf is currently $21.03 at Barnes and Noble. The eBook for the same collection of 4 stories is $29.99.

Says you.

Here are a few more https torrent sites I use:

since they started giving the finger to pc gamers I for one have certainly pirated Ubisoft.

I go out of my way to pirate ubisoft. I paid for Skyrim, I paid for many other games but when a Ubisoft title comes out I make a point to pirate it.

For one, pirates get to enjoy the game that works perfectly... pirates remove steam requirements and remove any and all drm in hours. You can play all of Ubisoft's games without steam or any DRM thanks to pirates.

the funny thing is while pirates get to enjoy a working game, legit customers can't play their games for long without crashes to desktop, memory leaks due to steam issues with the game or overlay crashes.

If ubisoft would chill out and embrace the pc gamer crowd instead of 2 old obsolete consoles that are shit nowdays then there would be no need to pirate.

plus pirates do not affect sales, that's been proven so many times in the music and movie industry, cause pirates wouldn't have bought the game/music/movie in the first place. So a person who would not have purchased it in the first place DOES NOT AFFECT SALES because they wouldn't have purchased it anyhow.

but I damn sure go to http://kat.ph/ or http://demonoid.me/ and download ubisoft's games to play out of protest, cause I certainly would not ever pay for a ubisoft game as the company currently is.

I understand DRM but check out successful games like the X3 series was shipped with no DRM at all. And all 3 of their games were best sellers! With zero DRM, install and toss the disc and just play no steam no disc no drm at all.

I recommend .info, .me, and .ph

http://icefilms.info/ have been around several years now and moved to .info and are hosted in amsterdam I believe.

http://kat.ph/ kickasstorrents changed to .ph to avoid domain confiscation

http://demonoid.me/ Demonoid moved to .me to also avoid domain confiscation as the .ph and .me ignore US requests

You will also have to check into hosting that ignores DMCA requests which are plenty, check Amsterdam hosting sites

http://www.dot.ph/ for registering .ph domains

http://www.domain.me/ for registering .me domains

I've also had a .me domain and I link to torrents, megaupload, rapidshare sites, I had to move my site to a hosting company that ignored DMCA since US sees posting links as illegal which is bullshit. So I moved to a host in amsterdam who told me they do not agree, abide or listen to US laws regarding DMCA when it comes to linking as long as I'm not hosting which was good enough for me.

Now I get tons of spam whining and begging me to remove links... which I just laugh instead of going after the hosts they try to stop me from linking which they can't now.

The Pirate Bay, TorrentZ, and Demonoid.me to name a few.

I don't usually do this but I'm feeling particularly giving this morning.

It's pretty bad when torrents are more trustworthy than free software download sites like download.com/tucows/etc. I can get the same program from torrents without worry, plus torrent sites like http://www.kat.ph/ or http://demonoid.me/ have lots of comments on their torrents so you can also check the torrent's reputation. even for free software torrent is way to go, but problem is with more and more companies wrapping their programs with adware/malware/bloatware/spam popups/etc. It makes it more enticing to just say screw it and go pirate the full versions or to skip the free version and pirate a competitors paid version. I would pirate the paid versions or paid versions competitors to free software on download.com or tucows any time. the more companies and/or developers do this the more of us turn to piracy. There is a lesson to be learned, make a good product, and don't wrap it in malware/bloatware/scareware/spam/adware/any virus like behaving extra then people may pay a couple bucks for it.

Us pirates will have the drm cracked, which due to beta it probably already is. And again a company forces people to go pirate to play a game normally.

Any company that requires persistent connection online will never see a penny from me, It's off to http://demonoid.me/ or http://www.kat.ph/ to pick up my copy when it releases.

Eventually I hope game companies get the fucking clue and realize they make more money when they stop with the draconian drm's (see Amnesia for great sales and no drm or X3 series with no drm, heck the company that owns X3 even released their own no cd patch)

so I link to http://www.icefilms.info/ or link to http://demonoid.me/ or http://www.kickasstorrents.com/ is slashdot now illegal? what a joke, this is stupid, links should never be illegal
