Mega is still used in certain communities as a replacement for megaupload. Also, the rise in streaming services has helped kill out piracy

its a good thing if pirating becomes harder for normies. its too popular now

Private trackers still running strong although I hope ptp gets taken down because of that faggot aspie mod that bans people merely for browsing 4chan

>>56080089
Its not though because less piracy means companies like Microsoft get more money and more free reign to create garbage like Windows 10

if content is only on private trackers then its same as it does not exist.
the things you want arent there when you manage to get a ratio high enough to download them.
private trackers arent meant for normal people ,not everyone has new content to upload and if someone has no one would download it.

Lol, no. Pirating shit is easier now then ever before. Tons of sites have MEGA, Openload and uptobox links which are 7+MBs per second with a mediocre connection. On top of that, HD vids are smaller than ever with mkv-hvec.

You're just not in touch with the latest generation of file lockers.

>>56080364
beyond how easy file sharing is at the moment, what is really sad is nothing is worth sharing.

Not finding obscure stuff in general is probably more down to not enough people knowing or caring about it to upload it anywhere, and to the few people that do not wanting to upload it so they force people to support the creator.

Idk, when I wanna pirate something I still usually find a way. Tho I don't do it very much anymore.

file sharing may at this time be crippled but serving content is a multimilllion dollar proposition. tell a crook there's millions to be made and they'll stop at nothing to make it. that's what file sharing boils down to: a shitload of money to make off page views.

OP is one of those underage idiots who just came to the Internet in the past 4 or 5 years, and thinks big pirate sites going down is something "new" or "special".
And he is too stupid to visit IRC channels to get updated on new places, or emerging places.

I swear, too many such retards on /g/ lately.
I blame /v/. All the dumbfuck gaymer GPU shitposters hauling their stupid uneducated brains into this board to shitpost about devices they never cared to actually learn the ins and outs of, and then contaminating the rest of the board with their underage gaymer retardation.

I dont want to live on a world where i cant get stuff for free what i'm not able to physically touch.

>>56080993
came into the thread to say this

piracy is just fine, the reason you think it's all going to shit is because you're just reading news articles about how KAT and piratebay got taken down and didn't bother to find out their new domains. Or use private trackers. Or just use the search function in qbittorrent. There's a lot of ways filesharing works, the big sites are getting taken down but they always come back or get replaced.

Rapidshare is a shame though just because of the amount of broken links around the web now.

>>56080096
Wait what how does he know or are people silly enough to reveal their email/user on here?

>>56080406
im sure that no one would want the shit i have anyway so its easier to just not upload it. you can be banned from private trackers for the smallest mistake.

>>56081389
normies do not know how to stay anonymous

>>56080133
>get more money
A person who wishes to pirate something won't buy it if they can't obtain in in any other way, they'll just use another free alternative. Most people pirate stuff because they don't want to pay, denying them the opportunity to pirate something won't change their mind it will just make them find another way to obtain free software. Hopefully 3rd world and poor countries will be torrenting gold mines even if everything else collapses.
>>56080760
Just because you can pirate something it doesn't mean it is free. I've never bought any software myself but I never say anything I had was actually free, it had a price I just didn't pay for it.

>>56083139
Someone originally had to pay for whatever software was put on torrent. If it has a price tag it isn't free, no matter if you torrent it or not. It's only free to you and anyone else smart enough to torrent it.

Getting it for free =/= the actual software is free

The rich want an entirely disposable society, and they're getting it. And soon they'll get beheaded. I honestly see a full-scale revolt against the rich parasites again within our lifetimes. They're simply making life unbearable for too many people.

I think also that it's time we started seriously talking about internet independence. With telecom companies serving the wishes of these corrupt Hollywood bastards more all the time and pushing for the end of net neutrality, I believe it's seriously time for internet independence technologies like wi-fi meshes to become more commonplace. We need a good IP anonymizer though. Current proxies and VPNs are basically garbage.

Why has nobody hosted a server in memezuela? Or Bolivia? How do sites hosted in Russia get shut down?

Wouldn't it be a no-brainer to host piracy sites on countries that oppose the EU or the US and have different levels of respect for copyright from those countries?

Over here you can still find plenty of stores that sell cracked software, CDs and DVDs with burned music and movies (if not outright just drag and drop files inside the discs which is not even properly formatted).

>Literally can walk into a store and buy a copy of Doom 3 or the latest call of duty with a crack already on the disc/s.

It's pretty silly imo because I can find them for free online, and I like to buy my shit legit, but at the same time I can still share those programs with people IRL very easily, something that a lot of legit media, particularly games, don't allow me to do anymore, everyone knows about these places, they're everywhere, and nobody gives a shit, I wouldn't be surprise if a vast majority of normies from here didn't even knew that it's illegal to pirate, and they'll surely be surprised to learn in other countries you can land on jail for doing so.

That's how you get enough peers to download something within a fucking day. All the retarded shit you're shilling is obscure and will be down in a year. But what's unforgivable is that you're not paying attention to what's happening now. ISPs are literally calling their customers and threatening them now for downloading files. In some countries you will be sued for literally THOUSANDS of dollars for downloading something worth $5.

>Dat wut u get 3 not using VPNs
VPNs suck ass and nobody wants to pay for that shit to get decent functionality. That defeats the purpose of torrenting, you morons.

If you can't see the trend of filesharing dying, you're simply ignorant. Someone really needs to inform 4chan that being an autistic asshole doesn't make you enlightened.

They've made /pol/ utterly unbearable at this point. You can't even discuss any fucking thing without Trump shills horning in and screaming that everyone is a "hill shill" when nobody fucking asked them to be there in the first place. The worst part is, the entire CTR thing is a blatant hoax perpetrated by Trump shills to do this very thing. The original post included a fucking meme address ffs.

Fortunately, they've made such a nuisance of themselves for so many months that /pol/ is starting to evict that irritating little shits. American elections have always turned /pol/ into pure cancer with all the fucking paid shills, but this election is the worst so far by a large margin.

PROTIP
Go into steam friend threads and add a bunch of random /v/irgins to your friends list. Turn conversation towards music and ask where they download music from - delete everyone who doesn't say WCD. Drop subtle hints that you want an invite and hope the guy you're talking to is desperate enough for companionship to give you one.

Took me like 3 hours, and once you're on WCD you can get into literally every private tracker.

I encourage people to pirate as much as possible, even if they don't want the media.

>Best you can do is try to hide as much as possible while you do it if you live in one of those cuck countries.
No, the best we can do is turn on and rape, then genocide the rich. And that day is coming sooner rather than later. That's why the rich are shitting their pants trying desperately to distract everyone with reality tv, race-baiting and other propaganda.

That's the part that bothers me, honestly. I already know what's going to happen because it's happened countless times before. The rich destroy society and get killed off in a revolution, then society collapses, then the dumbfuck citizenry follows another demagogue into even more stupidity which sets up a new business as usual class model and the process repeats. I just wish that humans weren't so fucking evil and stupid so at least I wouldn't have to live through the hell you morons insist on making over and over again. This world has absolutely no excuse to not be paradise but stupid, evil people are always the ones who get their way because they're always the majority and they always fuck everything up for everyone including themselves.

>Huxley got it right apparently.
So did Orwell. Just because some faggot artist blogger made an infographic, now everyone thinks Orwell was wrong and Huxley was right. The truth is both were right but Orwell was FAR more accurate in his predictions than Huxley will ever be. What's funny about Huxley is that people never notice that one of his predictions is coming true in real time but everyone is ignoring it: the push for marjiuana and drug legalization is literally soma. Hell, if you're against it people even say things that are eerily similar to "Better a gram than a damn hahaha". But that's "fun" so nobody pays any attention to it, which is literally the point Huxley was making. Everyone misses it, because nobody has any worth or self-control.

>>56083794
>I've seen some compelling cases that women are larger factor to a civilizations failure.
That's because you're a fucking faggot and part of the problem. Men are the ones who did all of this. Women have had a very small part in the path that mankind has walked. Humans have been degenerating for at least 20,000 years and possibly longer and you can be sure that for most of that time it's been under literal patriarchy.

>>56083807
>You trying to simplify the issue by simply saying "i-it's the fault of the rich, ban social classes"
The current situation is LITERALLY the fucking DESIGN of the rich, you faggot. They didn't LET this happen, they MADE it happen ON PURPOSE. This is exactly the world the rich wanted. They worked very hard to make it this way: consumerist, overpopulated, dropping IQs, living standards and wages, etc.

>like if every civilization in human history has been a capitalist isn't going to help make things any better tho.
Beliefs or ideologies can't fix this problem because it's genetic. We need extremely harsh eugenics and we need to start the program yesterday if mankind is planning on doing anything other than repeating this fucking failure cycle until near-term total extinction.

I wonder what secret club fags are going to do when their sites start getting heat and they realize that throwing public sites under the bus didn't help at all.

fool, i'm talking about literal accessibility, not about the intricacies of torrenting. torrenting could be twice as marvellous, but if it isn't used, because people can't access it, it's like having a trillion possible phone numbers, without nobody knowing which phone number they and the others have.
they simply can't communicate and exchange what they wish to. if it isn't accessible to the common person, it won't matter. there won't be seeders.

There's a lot of "rich people", assuming that they're all a hivemind trying to fuck everyone up is like saying that every single jew is responsible for the things the jews are usually accused off.

The fault is actually a combination of the politician class and the common folk who is too far it's own ass to think of the rest of the world around them, things like the legalization of drugs and the moral degeneracy. Which is not a worldwide thing I'd like to point out, is very much a problem mostly on the first world. Is a combined effort from dumbshits from the low and middle class telling high class politicians that this is what they should do if they want their support. Of course some rich people are completely degenerate for things that we have a pretty good understanding off, pleasure is a drug in on itself of course, and a lot of people are addicted. But this is not an entire social class, or exclusive to one single class even.

Looking at the post you originally replied to it's visible that from the beginning you don't stay on point or proposed situation.
you bring your own picture and then berate that I'm wrong because the pictures don't match. of course they don't match, how could they possibly? it takes a very stupid weeb to be that dumb.

you know what I see when I read a tripcode? a blister. just barely annoying, filled with nothing of real substance. the best part is that blisters disappear.

I wonder what kind of reward you look for in a site like this. It can't be very sweet, I don't think. It's not intellectually fulfilling either.
I know that laughing at stupid people can be fun at times, but laughing at stupid people at the expense of oneself? even if you're just faking it... there's no 'faking it'.

which lands me to the point of this post: you are either too stupid for this, or you are a bad troll and is also too stupid for this.

There's no distinction. If they tighten the regulation and apply the already laid down terms of use of all sorts of media, there simply won't be file-sharing.

>>56084446
It depends really. There are a few groups and NZB sites that refresh certain genre's or areas. I don't usually have a problem even with old stuff that's 1k+ days old with a main account plus backup block account. Anime is easy for example. Mega popular shows like Game of Thrones though will likely not last beyond thirty days so are constantly refreshed. I for example pulled up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the late 80's and early 90's no problem. I grabbed others like Transformers and He-Man etc. WKRP or older shows like that are fine too but aren't watched and refreshed as often but do last.

OP troll harder filesharing will never die only normies will be weeded out, there's a dissonance with intellectual property because by nature any form of art doesn't exist for business but for art's sake and if one is financially impacting the production of artistic works, then the artists shouldn't be working for cash in the first place. Life imitates art and this is the nature of content, business and laws are byproducts that surround it

Encrypted and anonymous by default and fully decentralized. No more DMCA takedowns because there's no way to take it down.

so you're sad about the fall of DDL?
welcome to years ago bro, it was always going to be this way, simple DDL and P2P are easy targets and got way too popular with normies.

just because you have to be a bit more in the know does not make filesharing dead. if anything it has improved in many ways because communities and sites/methods have become more specialized vs the "just dump everything on megaupload" attitude that was before, which encouraged really bad releases and stuff ridden with malware. I don't want to go back to .rar.001 where one link doesn't work and shit like that.

you are right that a lot of great stuff got wiped out though, but that's the fault of fags not hoarding like they should. everyone into filesharing or just a specific kind of media should always be hoarding and investing in hard-drives!

no, you're the retard. everything you posted is literally normie search problems. having massive numbers on public trackers does not help piracy in general or extend the life of torrents, if anything is just accelerated the boom bust cycle of torrents and causes them to die faster or be fractured by other torrents. yes, bittorent as a system benefits from more people using it, but how good the real-world experience of the downloader is going to be depends entirely on how bittorrent is implemented. on any good private tracker no torrent is ever going to "die" because there is a community and rules made to incentivize distribution of seeds across all the content. even on semi-public trackers this is true, as long as it's set up properly. that, combined with the fact the on an individual level people have more bandwidth and storage than they have every had means a torrent can easily recover or survive on one seed, even if the content is huge. people involved in private trackers, IRC, usenet and such are also much more likely to retain, organize, and scrutinize content than normies, which helps everyone in the long run.
it sucks that shitty governments have set up systems to hamper or go after people who fileshare but there is always a way to do it safely with some know-how.

I don't know who you are but you have an IP assigned to you by your ISP. The IP is negotiated through a router and NIC which have MAC addresses which can be triangulated to determine your location and based on your behavior pattern and electronic traces, an identity. When you disrupt the tracks by borrowing or concealing the origin of who you are, then you make yourself anonymous instead of delegating a simulacra or fake anonymity just as shown on 4chan for instance. if you post CP right now, you don't really expect that nobody will find you right?

frankly normies are not valuable users to t "real" filesharing, or to most people who release. if they cannibalize themselves even more than they usually do on the big sites, that's not going to threaten the core, valuable parts of filesharing which exist separately for the most part. even if every big public site went down the worst thing would probably just be less releases for normie stuff (but still more than enough), and extra hassle for people still committed to filesharing. it's not like taking down KAT is a step on the path to not being able to get the latest capeshit AT ALL. if anything it might be better if piracy were not as big, it might get less attention which could prevent new laws and intrusive tech being introduced which is a real threat. the best of filesharing has always come down to commitment, not numbers. loosing demonoid and megaupload was an actual loss, KAT or piratebay going down is nothing in comparison.

It's anonymous. Go read the whitepapers. You don't have an account, you have an "account secret" and a password. The secret is used to locate your file pieces, and the password is used to decrypt. It's not traceable to your IP, or your personal identity.

There is no "coin mining" and it's not fishy in the slightest. Nice FUD.

You shouldn't rely on anonymous 4chan posts to teach you how shit works anyway if you're all that concerned about security.

From what I understand about the network though, the basic gist of it seems to be the way that nodes are set up such that the ones that you connect to have no way of knowing what it is you're accessing.

Public Trackers going down does not bother me one bit. For the most part, a lot of the crap on sites like KAT are shitty Hollywood flicks, Top 40 American radio hits, and abysmal video games that dude bros with PCs enjoy. I don't mind paying for a product if it is easy to find. However, I think it perfectly sane to get something online if obtaining something like a high quality rip of something really obscure or old (such as a old retro game from a dead studio or music from a band or country that isn't available online).

Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”

ok buddy.

>>56079706
anything popular (anything that already generated millions of dollars for the owner) can be easily found in thepiratebay.
anything obscure you can't find there? well in that case I believe it is unfair to not support the content creator.

>>56087035
There are obscure things that exist that are not available through normal means, you know. Also old shit, where the content creator is dead, or not making anything off of it, because a company owns the right to the property.

For example, there was a punk/ska band that actively tells their fans to pirate their old albums because they make absolutely no money from their sale, and the record company fucked them.

Okay, to everyone who is like "Yo, private trackers bro. Where have you been?" and all that jazz:
You know what? Fuck private trackers. No, wait.. FUCK private trackers.

Are you like.. actually serious about this? It's all about being /comfy/. How the hell are private trackers /comfy/?
I don't wanna be a part of no god damn community.
The only time I spend seeding something is when I'm leeching off of it.

Not to mention, the fact that something isn't simply accessible to me just like that is simply downright retarded.

You can grab those private trackers and shove 'em up your ass.

>>56086817
Now that I think about it calling it piracy has hilariously backfired, just think of all the normies and kids that want to identify in some way as a pirate and are motivated to do so by an attempt at slander

>>56087614
Cool. Enjoy having no access to quality content, and constantly needing to find new sources for the shit you can manage to find.
It's only going to get worse for you from here out, and nobody is going to miss you.

I always felt like most people didn't actually pirate. Why was it hammered so badly and get so much attention?

>>56079706
Every fucking day we have threads like this.

>hurr everything is scattered and hard to find
It has ALWAYS been like that. the decentralized nature is a result of the fact that it's illegal. There never has been and likely never will be a single fountain for all files.

>Emule is gone
Good. Out with the old, in with the new. We need to kill bittorrents and move to IPFS over i2p or some shit.

>Rapidshare is gone

>Megaupload is gone
Yah and Mega took its place and is much better

>Torrent sites are being taken down
Yeah and the DHT scrapper sites already have all their content and then some

>Want to find old software? Gone.
Maybe if you're a 12 year old retard who can't google for shit

>Want to find a driver to an old device you wish to re-purpose?
Check the fucking manufacturers website, and the internet archive nigger

>Want to download rare books? Good luck finding a site that has it.
Unless by rare you mean "trashy ladies romance novel" you can find that shit pretty easily.

>Also good luck entering a private tracker
private trackers are trash. Avoid them regardless of anything

>They have impaired file sharing to this point. It's now easier to find where you should look for drugs on a new city than looking for files on the internet.

You're not "prohibited"
It takes a little more effort to access, and in exchange the content isn't at anywhere near as much of a risk like public tracker content is.

File sharing will never die. Piracy will never die. The problem with the government is that they act very slowly on many things, this is good for a standardization and documentation standpoint but when it comes to getting shit done they're always years behind. This whole issue is similar to drugs in that the demand is so high that if you take down one person or one website or one avenue of enabling law breaking something else immediately pops back up and it's nothing but an exercise in futility.

In a few years we're going to have alternatives to tcp/ip. It's forever adapting and as long as you stay ahead you'll keep winning

normies don't seed.

>>56087858
to maintain the integrity of the community and organization of the content. you're viewing bittorrent as a the hit and run affair it is on public trackers where only the most popular, often shitty torrents get any good see to peer ratio which gives good speeds. if that's how you want to treat it, fine. enjoy shitty content and pleb tastes I guess. "circlejerking faggots" are the ones maintaining the best archives of content on the net. making those archives public like a public tracker would destroy them. so you're pretty much an example of a bad bittorrent user who contributes nothing but expects access to everything. private trackers have nothing to lose from keeping you out and everything to gain. surely if you're passionate about the content that is inaccessible to you, you can put in the little bit of effort to help out and follow the rules a bit.

>>56085105
As an alternative, Storj is up and running right now.

I think the future of piracy will be in private invite only groups, using mesh networks like these, and possibly using some kind of TOR style anonymizer.

File sharing will never ever be truly stopped.

>>56079964
It has long been a dream of mine for everyone in the world to start creating their own mesh network and put the greedy corporations out of business. Will never happen though, people want their facebooks and netflixes and inevitably money would change hands and they would only allow their services to be used on "legitimate" internet connections.

Just because you're stupid doesn't mean it doesn't work. It's not attached to an 'account' in the traditional sense. You have an 'account secret' which is how you find your files and a password, which unlocks them.

Every file is split up into chunks, so there's no way to know what you're holding. On top of that, it's not attached to an 'account', it's just, if you have an account secret, suddenly these pieces are available to you. nobody knows what the account secret is, because it's encrypted. then you have your password which unlocks those files.

it's anonymous.

>ISPs are literally calling their customers and threatening them now for downloading files.
They've been doing that for over a decade, and they have been fighting back depending on political and economic interests as well. Some ISPs do it, some don't. Surprise surprise, various businesses have varying business philosophies.
Besides, we don't live in a Globalist world. We live in a world of national self-interest. Geo-political, religious, ideological, and cultural divide. There's no end of filesharing so long as there's sovereign nations and varying cultural entities who battle and compete with others one way or another, thus destroying anti-piracy efforts of each other's entertainment industries in the process.
Entertainment is the one pushing anti-piracy the most.
Entertainment is seen as propaganda, immoral, irrelevant, and a countless other shitloads of things by various factions on this planet. Thus they don't give a shit to police their own people for some American 'AAs.
Count the number of nations connected to the Internet presently.
Now count the amount of nations who actually suck up to the American entertainment industry and police it.
>but muh International anti-piracy agreements
Ink on paper to wipe the ass with for appearances only.
You think a nation will incarcerate its own people and lose legitimacy and sovereignty in the process, for the sake of some foreign faggot who made an Angry Birds clone?

>but muh state of filesharing
Same as always. Big site goes down. Next site is built better. New system is developed, or former system evolves. More anonymity and evasion tactics are introduced. Some are careless, some are good teams who have paid attention to the predecessors. Some have learned to utilize geo-politics to keep themselves going. New communication standards are created.

Totally agree with you. My dad is nearly 65 years old, and even he knows how to activate the VPN, and find torrents and other ways to download books and music. He has amassed 2.5 TB of music, much of it in FLAC format.

Without a VPN, your ISP can detect if you are downloading such files illegally. You can be prosecuted by them. I know someone who received a letter from Verizon because they downloaded one Rihanna track. You're garbage arguments (with no evidence or proof, by the way) aren't fooling anyone.

We're living in a generation where ignorance is glorified, deeper than blaming GPUs and /v/ is essentially instant gratification. Enjoyment could be found gradually in books or constructive games, alot of emphasis is placed in a shared digital format where thought development and interconnectivity instead of gaining some form of independence, leans on alot of interdepedence towards networks where reactions matter, where consciousness is deferred and shared collectively in a repetition of a trend or current which juxtaposes it with unconsciousness aka some dreamlike state. When you take the act of reading a newspaper or watching news, then the user now just has a shortened span of attention and relies on a personal network to do the thinking for him instead of gradually constructing a perspective for independent thought. I'll also throw in knowing only one language, and badly in todays world is pitiful when the average is three languages; that factors in the way our brains are wired into understanding with perspective and cultural context.

negative, au contraire baby-boomers like to still think they're in touch and feel smart with their generation when in fact this leads to more problems because of a dichotomy between what someone thinks they know and what they really know, it creates so many falsehoods and gaps. props for the effort sure, but too many old people are sure of themselves and are running from their own existential crisis by staying in touch with what's perceived to lack in their lives or compensate for their past cravings.

counter culture is small. soon enough you won't be able to pass through the cracks without leaving yourself exposed and liable for everything you exchange on the internet.

we already are exposed 'clandestinely'. it's only matter of time before they find a way to legalize what they already do.
as soon as internet privacy goes down legally for the sake of security (or whatever they come up with) and file policing becomes a rule, the examples of people being ruined for the littlest of things will pop-up, shying the schoal, and thus making it very hard and very rare to share files on the internet.
