They're here doing everyone a service. Why are there resources to prosecute this but not like elon musk's insider trading?

reksas ,

Because our society is profoundly corrupt

boatsnhos931 ,

Why didn't you nerds tell me about this, I'm over here hoofing it with this got damn 2tb ssd

Depending on your TV, you can probably stream video directly to it from your computer.

only 2tb? that's the size of my cache drives

... LARC cache? Ha! Get on my level, 1.2TiB RAM BB

# Set Max ARC size => 1.2TB == 1,293,222,768,640 Bytes

Nobody gives a shit, you're not doing enough to punish trump for his obvious, literally filmed and recorded crimes.

This is the equivalent of the cops celebrating after beating peaceful college protesters while pissing their pants and freezing while the uvalde kids were slaughtered and psychologically tortured.

You're focusing on the non victory and ignoring the failures. Cowards.

Tout le monde s'en fout, vous ne faites pas assez pour punir Trump pour ses crimes évidents, littéralement filmés et enregistrés.

C'est l'équivalent des flics qui se réjouissent d'avoir abattu des manifestants pacifiques à l'université tout en se pissant dessus et en se gelant pendant que les enfants d'uvalde se faisaient massacrer et torturer psychologiquement.

Vous vous concentrez sur la non-victoire et ignorez les échecs. Lâches.

AHemlocksLie ,

That's not true, they successfully did their job of protecting capital and the owner class. Same reason they don't go after Trump. He's in the owner class, so their job is to serve and protect him.

Adalast ,

When cops only legal responsibility is to enforce the law, and the laws are written to protect corporate interests, of course they will stand outside the school and arrest protesters. SCOTUS has ruled that way so many times that "to serve and protect" is literally gaslighting.

iknowitwheniseeit ,

Police don't even really have a duty to enforce the law, at least not in the USA:

They don't even have a duty to know what the law is.

Teoretically speaking, asking for a friend who's doing research, how would you access such a service? :)

dependencyinjection , (edited )

There’s plenty of services like this that people use a firestick to connect too.

My friend uses one but I forget the name of it. You can find them online but people usually buy a package of say 20 connections and then sell them to friends and family. I’ll try and remember what to search for and come back.

Edit: IPTV is a good search term.

dependencyinjection ,

Nah just a regular dude trying to help others when I can.

ramjambamalam ,

IPTV is the name of the pirated cable TV streams. Personally, I consider commercialized piracy to be a bit distasteful compared to the free and open source route, and I have the know how to self host my own streaming service.

Although it's not piracy, another free option to consider for live TV, if you're within range of TV broadcasters, is a digital TV antenna. I'm looking into that since not only is it free and legal, it's also the best picture quality, not compressed like IPTV (legit or pirated) or even cable.

SturgiesYrFase ,

I'm in the UK, so loads of live TV over the air.

You gotta be stupid as shit to run something like this from the US and keep a financial tail of credit card payments to you.

You also gotta be stupid as shit to actually pay 10 bux for this.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

It ran functionally uncontested for ten years. And it would hardly have been the first underground streaming service to pivot legit and cash out.

Napster was sold for $85M back in 2002. Justin.tv rebranded as Twitch in 2011. Hell, AWS has it's share of pirate hosted files.

uninvitedguest ,
@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

Wait, is that actually Twitch's history - Justin.tv?

neclimdul ,

It is. Until recently it actually still used the domain to serve assets.

uninvitedguest ,
@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

Wild. What an obscure piece of internet history to have missed out on as an old Justin.tv user.

phoneymouse ,

Was Justin.tv doing copyright infringing things? I seem to remember it was just a guy streaming his everyday life. He would literally wear a hat with a camera on it and record everything he did all day. It makes sense that it became twitch because they solved a technical problem around mass streaming that empowers twitch today.

suction ,

I remember watching Pay-tv (Premier League / Bundesliga matches) on Justin TV back in the day, when it was still obscure enough to not attract the copyright holder's attention. That was definitely infringing.

phoneymouse ,

I see.. I only remember the very early days of Justin.tv and kind of lost track of it between then and when it became twitch.

aidan ,

Yeah but megaupload was legit but was still shutdown despite being massive

viking ,
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

They had their servers seized, but were later returned and the service came back as mega.nz, legit and all.

aidan ,

Yeah uh no. that's not the whole story, Mega is a new company, the difference is it's encrypted so the theory was they'd have no way to scan for pirated content. Mega was also seized people think, it's unclear who or what currently opperates it. And Kim Dotcom's extradition case is ongoing.

deweydecibel ,

All the comments in here are so damn tedious. Copyright is a mess, but holy shit, people tie themselves in knots to make excuses for pirates being careless and stupid

Semi_Hemi_Demigod ,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, operate a massive illegal streaming service that has more content than everyone combined, but don't be so tacky as to charge for it.

todd_bonzalez ,

Honestly pretty funny to call the site "Jetflix" and advertise it as nothing but aviation videos. Nobody would know what you're up to until they pay you.

How much you wanna bet a aerospace nut subscribed to this because they love Jets, and immediately reported this site to the authorities because he got the avengers movies rather than Airbus maintenance videos or something...

Pretty stupid though to run this site out of the USA. Terrible opsec. They really just seemed to trust that nobody who cares would ever figure out what they were doing. Plenty of similar sites out there that don't even need to hide what they are because they are well outside of American jurisdiction.

a2part2 ,

Yeah. I bet he wasn't looking for a Boeing maintenance video.

lemmylommy ,

If they had more content on offer than the big legal streaming services combined, should that not tell us something about the quality of legal offers?

krashmo ,

What's there to learn that isn't already widely known? Existing (copyright) laws are asinine and all corporations eventually become consumed by greed. That's America in a nutshell.

Zacryon ,

Capitalism wherever it is found. Not just the USA.

jonne ,

It's not even copyright laws, it's everyone insisting on exclusive contracts. There's no reason a piece of content couldn't be on Netflix and Disney+ at the same time. It would be a lot better for consumers if streamers could compete on price and service instead of which content they managed to create/licence.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Exactly. I like Netflix's service, but Disney's content. Why can't I just pay for a Disney bundle on Netflix? Likewise with Max, Peacock, etc.

Lawyers are why we can't have nice things.

helpImTrappedOnline ,

Music streaming has proven this for years now, all the major brands have massive collections that make its super easy to pay and listen to just about anything.

Early Netflix proved this when everything was readily available for an affordable pricre.

jonne ,

Yep, you choose between Spotify, Tidal, etc based on price and how well the app works, not because one service has the band you like while the other one doesn't (not that music streaming isn't its own shitshow for other reasons, of course).

@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It felt good to live in a world where being legit was reasonable.

vividspecter ,

The situation is a lot better with music, but it's not perfect. There's still issues with region locking content, and content only existing on one service and not another.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

There are also issues paying creators instead of rights holders

kakes ,

Love how they make this sound like some incredible feat. When you aren't bound to license agreements, turns out it's actually very easy to have a "massive" content library. Literally the only hurdle is storage space.

Wrench ,

I mean, distributing it isn't a small feat. Plus you need to manage subscriptions, billings, CMS, a front end to navigate the content, etc.

That's no small amount of work, even if they used out of the box solutions for many layers.

themurphy ,

5 people could do it though.

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Depends how many users.

But yeah a lot.

jonne ,

All of those things already exist. Typically it's just a Plex server running on a cloud service.

batmaniam ,

Yeah like... Netflix has peering agreements and whatnot but.. It's not 2005.

iopq ,

Both Wikipedia and Stack Overflow just have a few dozen fast servers despite being some of the world's highest trafficked websites

Streaming video is a lot more expensive than text and images.

Irelephant ,
@Irelephant@lemm.ee avatar

That is just the text content, Wikipedia has pictures and videos as well. Not to mention the other Wikimedia projects

calcopiritus ,

I doubt Wikimedia streams even 0.1% of what netflix does.

Tja ,

Not only that, stackoverflow does it using windows! (or used to, at least)

Bronzie ,

Yeah it costs, depending on quality of course.
My 14 TB disks are filling up faster than I expected and I am not close to Netflix’s catalogue.

Sabin10 ,

Yeah, I got a 14tb drive back in February and it's 90 percent full already. My media collection will always grow to fill the space available.

Postmortal_Pop ,

You guys wouldn't happen to have any tips on DVD ripping would you? I'd like to go all digital but I just can't make Handbrake work.

ADandHD ,

This is my fork of an existing solution

hogmomma ,

I've never gotten Handbrake to do anything I wanted. DVD Shrink, on the other hand, is one of my top five most-used apps. It's quite old, but DVD encryption hasn't changed since its release.

serpineslair ,

I couldn't either... I ended up using dd, though it's probably not the best way by a long shot.
