Keygens aren't even vaguely relevant for todays DRM

I used to download from one click hosters 10 years ago and I still do.
I also use the same streaming website that I did 5 years ago.

Can't even make small jokes on a single post on 4chan anymore without some faggot reporting you and some dick mod banning you for over a week on all boards

I miss limewire. Last time I wanted to pirate music I had to search like 10 different mp3 websites

It sounds like you're just a really fucking bad pirate, downloading stuff is easier than ever

>>37260463
This shit is what really irks me. There's no true free speech havens left, I thought 4chan was but now you'll get banned globally for saying something one overly sensitive mod decides is "inappropriate".

I want to go back to 2007. At least then bans were public and amusingly done, or justified because they were posting terroristic threats like that stadium dude who got v&

>>37259544
The normalfags killed it. Ever since they came streaming in, Internet has had great commercial value so now companies sperg out all the time.
At least there's still the Darknet.

If you want a virus, sure.

Nigga I torrent everything. What kind of obscure shit are you trying to download that you can't find a torrent?

If you want free protected mp3 or audio files in general, use an aux cord connected in the microphone jack in one end, the headphones jack in the other one, turn up audacity and record. Voila, now you can pirate all audio for free.

>>37260642
Nice. I'll have to try this with Spotify. Fuck paying 9.99 a month

>>37260616
Explain

>>37260661
there are applications that will do this for you and will even do it at faster-than-normal playback. Google around a bit.

>>37260690
Retard here. What would be the term for that to google?

Don't be a candy-ass roody-poo

Viruses are those spooky things that everyone clueless about the internet seems to talk about but it actually never happens unless you click that TOTALLY NOT A VIRUS DOWNLOAD PLS button on that hot not suspicious pornsite.

you basically get banned for offending the mods and only for offending the mods
it doesnt matter what you do at all, you could be breaking every rule but if you are being the kind of asshole the mods like then its ok and you can be following every rule and get banned because mods dont like you.
The site is filled with normies now to the point that it isnt funny too

Wild west days of the internet are gone and it's only going to get worse.
As always someone wants to make profit out of everything they can even if it means turning it into shit (movies, internet, video games, books, TV) but that's okay since normies will eat up all that garbage and gladly pay you shekels, what's more they will be grateful they can give you shekels, isn't that great?

More control, more safety, more industry.

The Internet in the 2000s was the Wild West. Now it's being settled and the US marshals are slowly laying down the law while Chad and Stacy go about their business in a sphere that they once were too afraid to enter.

Rip Megaupload, you were my first.

You spend how much time on the computer and still don't know how to get free stuff? You need to get a membership to a private torrent site, get VIP status by uploading a few things, and use the VIP forums to get invites to other sites. I got into What a few years ago and now have an account on ptp, btn, and redacted with huge buffers on all of them.

The pirate bay still exists. If that's too censored for you, btdb.in exists which has next to no censorship with viruses, child porn, and IS propaganda available easily. Anyone can set up their own clone on the darknet for $5.

The darknet is the new frontier.

No, they generated keys from a reverse engineered algorithm.

>>37259544
Even cracking websites are behind a paywall and half of them are dead.

>>37260499
There are some chans with a .onion. There's also NNTPchan, but it's dead. You can set up your own onion chan for $5 per month without a risk of getting caught where you allow anything you want.

Or just download them from rutracker/tpb.
>>37260592
Just don't open any .exe files.

Kill yourself.
>>37263048
This.

>>37263160
>cracking websites
Just download the cracks from tpb and the software from the official authors.

Also, since copyright law doesn't exist in Russia, there are plenty of sites like you mention there. Rutracker, libgen, sci-hub, tons of mp3 sites, and so on.

I've always wanted to get into this stuff but I'm too paranoid. What's the worst case scenario that could actually happen if law enforcement finds out you pirate and they want to take action?

Also how the hell do you not get caught? Is it really as simple as paying for a trustworthy VPN subscription?

>>37264361
>move to third world country
>piracy is ubiquitous among non-brainlets
>nobody will ever hunt you down since even the third worlder law enforcement system uses pirated software

Why would you want to pirate anything if most is out there on YouTube/Spotify for free?

What I really miss is the amount of random stuff that got me excited, like flash games, weird boards, actual memes (not the 9gag picture version but real life lolz like that postcard stand).

It seems like the more normies flooded the web, the more old folks left.

Id like to think they found some secret other endeavour but truth is, they probably got old and forgot.
