This.

People have shared files via floppy and BBS. Publishers put anti-piracy protection in their software, which gave rise to cracking.

Publishers distributed CDs with special codes. These were cracked as well.

People turned FTP servers and IRC channels into full marketplaces for music, books, and warez

Then came Napster, KaZaA, Morpheus, and others. Then Bittorrent. Physical media became fully region-locked, which not only turned more people away from buying it, but has also been simply defeated by crackers.

Cloud computing has also given rise to free file storage, which people use to share all kinds of content in mass quantities

Every iteration of file sharing has been more convenient for the sharers and harder for publishers and authorities to shut down. There are now so many ways to do it that it's never going to be stopped

>>60509250
fyi - she did 4 vids with them, i've got them all. Also got the vid of that other girl, from delaware. heard they paid her like 1500 to do the vid. so she did 4 vids @ 1500 per. nice dough if ya can get it. but yeah the colardo girl was like 2nd place winner and she's hot as hell. makes ya wonder who the 1st place winner was.

>>60509342
Because they don't have any other skills. You think they want to do real work? They can try modeling, but modeling usually isn't consistent work. Eventually they need some money and they've got some guy saying he'll pay her $6,000 for like four hours of work. Not bad, nobody will even see the video, right? And then their butt hole is plastered all over the internet.

It's not GDP. Search "Mia Malkova mom" and you should find it. Her mom thought it was going to be a regular modeling shoot.

I have a theory that technology occurs in cycles, piracy used to be local, and I have a feeling that physical data trafficking will become the mainstream once again quite soon.

My pals and I already do it, one of us downloads something to an external, and passes it around until we all have it, then the last person who ends up with the drive us the one whose turn it is to download.

9KB, 256x192px

Raid plus backup copy (or in my case of core files I can't part with, a 2nd copy) seem to work well. This is the girl who literately turned 18 and blew out the candles on the cake before the shoot. forgot the ep number though

Archive to 100GB M-Discs.

They're basically the perfect format: space-efficient, energy-efficient, and more or less impervious against the elements.

Space-efficiency: Archiving music? One 100GB M-Disc can store over 700 audio CDs' worth of data, and that's if you don't employ any kind of compression. Even lossless compression will increase that figure wildly.

Energy-efficiency: Optical media require no continuous power in order to retain their information. They don't even need to be powered on periodically (as hard drives do), and they don't need to be babied in special storage conditions (like tapes do).

Impervious: Because they're made out of (effectively) stone instead of dye, they're not as susceptible to heat, light, time, dust, etc as traditional optical media are.

Now, don't get me wrong: when you burn a foreverdisc, it's important to choose carefully what you store on it. Choose data types that are likely to be useful or of some value in a thousand years. Ebooks, photos, old game ROMs, digital comics, and music in FLAC (or other lossless formats) are the best candidates. After that comes more modern game ISOs, followed finally by video, which should be chosen sparingly and with care.

You can get these on Amazon, about $90 for 500GB worth of storage. That sounds like a lot -- and it is -- but remember: it's here forever.

>>60509896

Historical preservation, retard. I specifically recommended ebooks, video games, and FLAC. Formats that aren't going to be any less useful in a thousand years. If the formats aren't still around, they'll be convertible to a format that is. Especially FLAC. This is what it's for: archival purposes.

>>60509096
private trackers don't have this problem

>>60509900

An advertisement tells you why you should use them. I also aimed to tell you why you should use them. It's not hard to grasp why I might sound like an advertisement.

Here's the fun part: the reason I "sound like an advertisement" to you is because I don't write at a fifth-grade level like you do.

>>60509096
>not watching hentai

>>60509914
Music - sort of. A FLAC ripped from a CD or digital purchase isn't as useful as the master.

Ebooks - sort of. There's little standardization when it comes to ebooks.

Video games - no. Not only do OSs drop support but games become redundant even a year or two after release when the "remaster" is released.
The PC ports of Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 4 for example were ported a 2nd time each.
There are also multiple ports of Resident Evil 3 for PC because a japanese company ported it again.

Now you may be talking about disc images of console games and roms but that's still only as good as the release copy, it's not as good as having the source files.

>>60509950

Music: Even if you just store straight disc images, you can store over 700 of them in the footprint of one disc. No, it's not as useful as the master, but it's what we can get our hands on, and if we can, we should.

Ebooks: There's enough standardization that the text will be useful. In fact, as conversion algorithms and AI gets more and more advanced, the odds that simply having the text is enough to do whatever you need with it only improve.

Video games: yes, very yes. For every one game that gets remade, there are a thousand that never do. And, frankly, even when a game *does* get remade, content is often altered from its original state, thus rendering an archived copy of the original potentially just as necessary. Are you honestly telling me that, if you could put 500GB of data in a time capsule for a thousand years, that time capsule would not include a fullset of NES ROMs? Genesis? SNES?

>>60509954

I'd like to see your hard drives in a thousand years. This isn't about storing the data, any idiot can do that. This is about archiving the data for the long haul, so that we never, ever lose it, no matter what. Hard drives require too much maintenance to be a good fit for that mission.

>>60510035

Regular off-the-shelf HTL BD-R discs already use an inorganic phase-change layer. These are basically very expensive, ordinary BD-Rs.

There's no physical or functional difference (hence perfect compatibility with existing burners); only clever marketing.

Their DVDs on the other hand, are substantially different to ordinary DVD+/-Rs.

I've been intending on building a killer ZFS pool.

Paid off my car, so I'm a bit short on cash ATM, but if you watch the major retailers you'll see some pretty decent prices on drives. BB is selling an 8tb external for $180 right now.

I figure that if I build a 8TB NAS with 3x drive redundancy, and some backup solution, I should be good until the next big increase in HDD space.

>>60509216
This.

What's the difference of m-disc vs regular Blu-ray? Or even regular DVD discs? I have a fat stack of 4.7GB discs laying around. Why is $62 for a 25 pack of 25GB m-disc discs from verbatim on Amazon a better investment?

I don't care about the whole lasting 1000 years shit, but I do have a lot of movies and music I'd like to back up. (Again). Hard drives have a tendency to be a bit finicky after being taken out of storage after having been offline for years. I have a Blu-ray reader/burner. For someone like me, what does m-disc offer over say, a 50 pack of non m-disc 50GB Blu-ray discs?

>>60510035
>I'd like to see your hard drives in a thousand years.

>>60510786
p2p is torrenting, it's the method of downloading the files (peer 2 peer), so files are basically crowd sourced and not from 1 location.

VPN might be a good idea depending where you are. In Canada, you can probably do without because the letters they send are never enforced and can just be trashed.

I use a VPN because torrent traffic with my ISP is throttled to 30-60kbs in the evening.

>>60510770
I see. I read about the laser needing to be stronger. Their write speeds are abysmal. At least they're fire and forget I suppose. Since they're rather pricy, they'd better fucking be as good as advertised. But their sizes are tiny as well.

Say I have 3TB of movies. All already encoded etc. Should I burn my stuff directly? Or put it all in a zip folder and then burn it? Does compression hurt data longevity?

>>60510718

Is there one machine in the world capable of playing Edison cylinders? How many Edison cylinders are there in the world to merit the existence of such machines?

I think you'll find that there'll be considerably more motivation for historians to be able to access disc-based media. Realize that the CD form factor occupies about half a century at this point, with no sign of ever really going away.

Even if one does not exist, it is possible to build at least one from that which is known of period samples. And that's really all that's needed: one. Once even one copy of the data is pulled off the discs, it's possible to spread it via whatever channels exist in that future time period.

Like I said, don't use M-Disc to archive movies. It's just not economical, and popular film probably isn't going anywhere, because there's money to be made off of that. Plus, there are millions and millions of copies of it already, spread to the far corners of the Earth. Exceptions should be made only for particularly rare content. Use your judgment.

Use M-Disc for ebooks, audiobooks, comics, archival-quality FLAC, old ROMs, family photos, cultural time capsules, etc.

Even if you do archive movies, you don't want to archive encodes. Always put yourself a thousand years forward in time and ask yourself: "Is this still useful or valuable? Has it been superseded by something else?" If you archive the 4K version of a movie today, it will likely have been superseded by the 8K version within ten years. Once we hit 8K, though, I believe we'd be approaching at that point the limits of the analog film medium to which many of these films were originally set, making it safe to perma-archive at that point, though still economically challenging.

>>60510832
thanks anon

>>60510919
Yea you're right. Maybe I'll pick up a stack of those 4.7GB m-discs for music, pictures, and such. Movies I'll keep in mechanical storage.

>>60509096
>The content gone with them
>Doesn't know how torrents work
The torrents are still active even if the sites are gone people connect with the trackers and DHT PEX LDL.
There are a lot of sites that just mirror what other sites have so it's basically the same stuff all over the place.
Magnet miners crawl DHT all the time and add magnets even if they aren't listed anywhere.

I'd also like to add that anyone who is considering a cold storage system of any kind would benefit from a disc cataloging software. I personally ended up using WinCatalog, because it was the most straightforward and robust program of its kind that I could find. I'd be open to other suggestions, obviously, especially for Mac and Linux, since WinCatalog, as its name suggests, is strictly Windows software.

Anyway, with a disc cataloging software, it's easy for you to determine which of your 600 archive discs contains the exact file you're after. It may not feel like you need it, but you will before you know it if you're serious about building a permanent archive.

As for organization, I issue each one of my discs an individual, sequential serial number of my own devising. I'd recommend it. Helps discourage casual interlopers from screwing around with your archive, and helps you find things.

na jews are getting very mad they will go full nuke on torrent sites soon

Hey, I had to hunt through internet archive the first porn video I watched on internet. It was fun. An entire day for a random 240p video of a skinny blonde masturbating on camera.

But I agree with this >>60509243 file sharing will not end even if everything we do is tracked to death. Netflix wouldn't even be a thing if they could stop it.

I can only agree with cloud services. I don't use personal info there, just more of a storage based thing. I don't care if someone has my game saves, config files, whatever. I would be more concerned about personal things like family pics, but I don't even have enough of those that anyone could do something mean with em. I would just suggest do not put files in there that you want to preserve or are personal enough to care.

I will say one thing though: There is no shortage of places that I miss. I miss kickass torrents before it died. I miss some private trackers. Megaupload (not mega). But before I had to look for shit like ROMs, music or some movies in random places and now I can use things like deezloader or popcorn time for low quality popular shit, or find them ROMs in archive.org or places like that.

People complain about the situation now, but in the early 2000s it would be a dream to have all of what is available now.

it's okay. it will all just move to deepweb

I'm not sure about how exactly to burn them. I think zipping into one large file is such another thing to go wrong.

both the M-DISC and inorganic BD-R physically alter the recording layer, burning a permanent hole in the material. Besides physical damage, failure of the reflective layer, followed closely by degradation of the data layer, are the primary failure modes of all optically recordable disks.

>>60509789
i'm sure it'll be more wise to wait for another tier of M-Ds or something even more reliable because for now it's not very economical
for now i'd advise to stick to good old HDDs

Sure bro.

>Most lost films are from the silent film and early talkie era, from about 1894 to 1930.[5] Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation estimates that more than 90 percent of American films made before 1929 are lost[6] and the Library of Congress estimates that 75 percent of all silent films are lost forever.[7]

>The largest cause of silent film loss was intentional destruction, as silent films were perceived as having little or no commercial value after the end of the silent era by 1930.

And I don't think it's beyond imagination to think some parties might want to restrict access to the older material just because they have better licencing deals with the new stuff.

haha enjoy you're no torrent imperialist pig disgusting

I don't know how to feel guys. I think my external hard drive is fucked and is unsalvageable. It starting making this rhythmic beeping noise and isn't being detected by my PC. I had hundreds of movies and tv series, close to 100 gigs of porn and I don't even know how much images I have saved. I think I'm going to cry myself to sleep now because it wasn't backed up.

But frankly just plan a RAID5 or RAID6 NAS/storage box + backup or something now, and this will not easily happen again.

With a semi decent internet connection you can get back to where you were only in a bunch of weeks anyhow.

You're retarded.

If we're even still here in a thousand years, which honestly doesn't seem super likely, all of your fancy backups, if someone bothers to preserve them at all, are going to be held in a museum case for people to look at the physical thing... NOT the media that's on it.

The subtext on the plaque beneath the disks is going to be "look at what these stupid fucking faggots did. Today, the average brain communications interface is capable of transferring all this data in some insane fraction of a second."

If we're still here, none of that shit is going anywhere either.
If we're not, no alien civilization or supplanting species is going to *ever* be able to construct a sophisticated enough framework for understanding our civilization that they would be able to read computer disks.

Just be honest with yourself and admit that hoarding data gives strokes your natural nesting instinct with warm fuzzies.

I deleted my 700Gb, finest selection, 10 year porn collection.

The trigger was me getting my shit together and doing NOFAP, also girlfriend.

Anons here warned me that if I deleted it and my girlfriend would leave me, I'd regret it. I laughed and said it would never happen and deleted all backups, including cold storage at 2 separate locations.

Then she left me.
Now I have the cravings again, but I must prevail.

Well you will always get a dump cuck who just earn enough to support a girl. Soon their relationship will turn ugly and if they have baby, he will have similar future. Its best way to keep the people weak and confined to petty life problems. I.e make more sluts. This way is the easiest route to control a population.

My main source of content is a private DC hub that's been going for 15+ years.
It's a very solid community with high share sizes and speeds (average 6 TB shared per user and most have at least 100MBit upload)

>>60517856
Terry's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdX4uJUwSFwiY3XBvu-F_-Q

I only archive things that are really important. Usually text.

Under 20gb so far.

Been debating back and forth between archiving my favorite movies and shows as well but that would add 2TB right off the bat (already wrote down the potential filesizes) and I honestly don't think that preserving media is that big of a deal. If they are truly important they will survive without my help.

>>60518021
The value and relevance of media changes as society does. I can't picture my kids growing up on the same shows that I did. But I could be wrong. There are some shows/movies that seem to really hit the nail on the head at times.

Wave 6K in front of someone and tell them "You only need to look pretty for the camera!" and I bet you a large majority will take that offer.

6K is a down payment on a decent car, can pay rent for at least 6 months at a decent place in most of the US, can also buy you a lot of nice things most cant afford on whim. You could even buy outright a nice used point A to point B car.

Uh no, you are wrong. I have 50 mbps and all of my devices can saturate that on any band/channel of wifi. N or AC does not matter, ive seen my phone, xbox, laptop, desktop all pull down the 50 mbps.

Granted I have a Nighthawk X4 but honestly, anyone with a wireless AC router can saturate a 100 mbps easy. if you have a wirless N router with 5 ghz you could also easily saturate 100 mbps.

Torrent sites are dying because piracy was a service problem. Netflix/Steam/Spotify/youtube/bandcamp/soundcloud etc made them basically obsolete for your typical user.

It's ironic that piracy's dying not because of legal actions but because nobody cares.

Not true. We know very little about ancient cultures, languages, and traditions precisely because all that unimportant-seeming minutiae was thrown away instead of preserved for history.

Consider the graffiti found at the Pompeii dig sites. It was meticulously archived when found, and is considered fascinating, despite it being a bunch of long-dead people calling each other fags and bragging about their sexual conquests.

>>60511902

The difference between the silent film era and today is that, during the silent film era, there was a finite amount of theater space, to be occupied by only the things that would draw the largest crowds. Society hadn't advanced far enough and/or wasn't progressing rapidly enough for nostalgia and historical preservation to be concerns, and technology hadn't advanced far enough to envision a world where you could provide infinite copies of something to infinite places in real time for the pennies on the dollar. We wouldn't even have ubiquitous home video for another half-century. This, on the other hand, is the age of cheap DVDs and Blu-rays, of Netflix, and of millions and millions of people who already have pirate copies of the media in question as well. It's not what we should be worried about, because it's not in danger of being lost. And it's much easier to profit from something when you're not trying to choose the ten most profitable things available to show in the ten different rooms of your cinema.

>no alien civilization or supplanting species is going to *ever* be able to construct a sophisticated enough framework for understanding our civilization that they would be able to read computer disks.

Funny. You know what they put on the Voyager probe? A golden record. With instructions on how to build a record player. In case aliens ever found it.

Some of the world's greatest minds at the time were tapped to work on the project, and that's what they settled upon: a disc, and instructions on how to build a machine that could read it.

>If we're still here, none of that shit is going anywhere either.

It's been around 30 years since the NES. Of all the NES units manufactured, how many of them do you suppose still function? Of all the games ever released for the NES, how many are legally available through means other than owning the original cartridge? Of all the NES cartridges ever produced, how many of them do you suppose have ceased to function?

Open your eyes. The loss is happening already, all around us, and it hasn't even been a century, let alone a millennium. There's a lot from just a few decades ago that would be long gone by now if it wasn't for the efforts of private archivists.

LTO-X tape trumps all.

>>60524456

Tapes require preservation under specially-curated conditions in order to retain their integrity. They are the exact opposite of a good idea for small- to medium-scale long-term archival projects.

I used to be a data hoarder, music specifically. I spent ten years downloading, converting, tagging, sorting, etc. Had 80,000 songs, far more than I could ever listen to and that's if I didn't have a job, wife, kids, etc. It stopped being fun a long time before I quit doing it.

Now I just rip my CDs into flac, and save my best friend's and Dad's CDs as well. Still have tons of music and it doesn't feel like I have too much. I can connect more with what I do have.

There's no reason on earth for me to save movies of any kind. I don't rewatch hardly any movies and if I do like one that much I just buy the blu ray and throw it on a shelf.

I accidentally deleted an old folder of documents several years ago. I rarely if ever looked at it, most of it was very old. And it still causes me pain, anger, and regret every time I see that its not there. (rarely isn't never, after all) I don't understand how you can feel "free" after you've deleted stuff.

>Some of the world's greatest minds at the time were tapped to work on the project, and that's what they settled upon: a disc, and instructions on how to build a machine that could read it.

Just because they did it does not mean that they have a reasonable expectation ET would be able to decipher the instructions. They chose that as the simplest way they could think of in the (probably vain) hope that somebody could decipher it.

A record player is an incredible simple analogue device. Literally all you need is tiny shard of metal, a wheel, and a cone to amplify the sound.

The technical instructions consist ENTIRELY of communicating through pictograph the speed of rotation to get accurate sound pitch and speed.

It's apples and oranges. You're saying the speed a wheel turns is roughly equivalent to all the informational structure you'd need to run an interactive computer program.

>It's been around 30 years since the NES. Of all the NES units manufactured, how many of them do you suppose still function? Of all the games ever released for the NES, how many are legally available through means other than owning the original cartridge? Of all the NES cartridges ever produced, how many of them do you suppose have ceased to function?

You're proving my point. None of that stuff has gone anywhere. I'm not against archiving, but the argument that you need put it on some shitty proprietary disk right now or it will be gone shows a profound lack of understanding where we are ca 2017.

At some point I started collecting anime OSTs. I don't even know why, I only listen to a couple dozen.

It started with the series I knew and loved, then the ones I watched, then the ones I didn't watch

I have 500gb of mp3s nowadays just in anime OST. A couple years ago I made a torrent out of it, but it's not been maintained since then. I am sure if I would pick it up again I can add 50gb of mp3 to it.

hoarding is bad, yo.

>don't throw it away, people spend time on it

You know.. I want to support your point of view, as it would make me feel better about my own job.. but the reality is that effort and cultural significance or the justification to archive are not related.

I think it's a shame that unknown anime from the 80s are no longer accessible.. but at the same time I don't think it really matters because there's more entertainment being made than I will ever be able to enjoy.

I long for the day there's no more piracy and the companies can't blame the pirates are 'stealing' their content.
Let's see how far you come with no word of mouth and more and more people will just stop paying for and consuming stuff because they either were disappointed with a shitty product or can't preview a product they'd like to purchase.
If you went to the grocery store and bought an apple without getting to inspect it, would you be happy with a rotten one? Too bad, the grocer has your money already.

really? the content "owners" are usually the ones who fuck up their own media. they loose masters of audio, cells of animation, things go out of print, they end up in licensing/copyright limbo, or they region lock. it's the rare versions of niche things that need the most protection. even the government of most countries don't do as much to preserve important media as file-sharers do. not that you shouldn't pay for media, just make sure you're rewarding a good release or buying something rare to share with others.

Dude what do you think libraries are for. They've always been providing free access to copyrighted material, both written, audio and video material.

>>60533215
that's because the """content""" (((owners))) don't give half a shit about their """content""" except to the extent it will make them money. The moment it stops being profitable they don't care if its gone. But they also don't want to let go of any control over it, since that might set a precedent and cost them control over things that could make them money.

>>60509243
>File sharing is never going to end.
no, but things can definitely be lost when they're only saved in one or few locations. remember megaupload? do you have any idea how much content, rare or even unique, was lost when it got shut down?

>>60527584
thanks, dick. hopefully none of that was actually worth saving and was just important to you personally.

>>60527981
you mean everything that the pop collective deems is "good" will never disappear. if you are into content that doesn't have mass appeal it's very easy for exceptional work to disappear.

But anon, qBittorrent doesn't have a "stop" function. If you "pause" a completed torrent, it just says "completed" instead of "seeding".

So basically qBittorrent is retarded.

there's countless gems of games and even porn that'll never be shared again. pity, especially since hoarding vidya is basically impossible now considering the stupidly larger file sizes and how the market for larger storage capacity has stopped progressing

>What.cd was doomed by their insanely high quantity of enabled users
No, What.cd was doomed by the fact that they had a giant cult of personality surrounding the whole SEKRIT KLUB mentality that festered there, combine that with a userbase that circlejerks themselves about how exclusive and anti-normie they are, and the RIAA target basically painted itself. You didn't even need to be part of What to know that their gimmick is autistically-high standards, and similarly-autistic users that liked to play Gestapo and report What-exclusive content showing-up on other trackers

It also probably didn't help that they had a shop where meme loving fucks had the option of slapping a Rippy sticker on their binder, and you KNOW there was that one dude who pulled a "Oh THIS? Heh, that's Rippy, he's the mascot of What, it's a SUPER private tracker for music, yeah, it's a pretty big deal" to the girl who showed up to class in a Belle and Sebastian shirt

I feel more for the content that was lost more than What itself, but pretty much every What user that isn't a queermo hoarder has been moving their shit to Apollo and Waffles

read the article, it's like photoDNA, only applies to THIER cloud hosting services and only works on plain files, not ones in a container.

if you're using a cloud backup it should be a fallback of your main backup or only used for web access and/or storage of encrypted files. and obviously you should not be using a service in the control of the likes of google, MS, or any mega-corp

>>60534846
you would think such an exclusive tracker with "standards" would have a plan to prevent their tracker/site from being fucked by the law. it's amazing to me how many large or medium sized trackers basically just hope that no one attacks (legally or otherwise) their domain/tracker. they have no backups, no extra hosts, no team of people who can take over safely etc. I mean all of nyaa got fucked because one guy was running it and he was a pussy with no plan.

Put yourself in the aliens' shoes. If a probe of obviously alien origin landed on our planet, with what was obviously some form of written communication inscribed on it, what would we do? We'd spend hundreds of years and billions of dollars working on deciphering it, if that what it took.

>all the informational structure you'd need to run an interactive computer program.

...unless they were able to benefit from a body of literature as to how to reproduce the system, and historical examples of the machinery used. Which anyone on Earth would most likely have access to.

because she is hot as fuck and maybe he dated before she made porn, anyway no one respectable man would take serious a pornstar/prostitute, its ok to fuck her but not something serious, i knew a friend who start dating a ex-prostitute even when he knows she was a retired prostitute, 2 weeks later he realize he made a huge mistake just because he was horny in that moment, the girl was a solid 9 and kind but theres thing you cannot pass, he broke with her and 2 years later he married a 7 and manipulative girl

In the early 2000s it was unthinkable that there'd be any information on the Internet the masses didn't have access to.

Now it's not unheard of for there to be media lost to time because access to the only known copy is stuck on a sever no one has access to anymore after Nya went down.
