"Fellow pirates" that's the most suspicious ass thing you could possibly say here

[–] RandallFlagg@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

How do you do, fellow pirates?

This feels like something that should be used with a VPN. Be careful.

Well, since it is just a an organised frontend for a multiple HLS streaming sources, I wouldn't worry about my IP leaking (it's not P2P).

Your ISP can only see the domains which you are connecting to, not the content that is transferred (cuz https).

If you are still paranoid, just route it through tor! It's just a website after all. (ik it's slow but it works!)

Except it's often not your ISP going after you, and https does not protect against everything. A few years ago there was a scandal in Germany when a moneygrubbing law firm took out ads on a porn site to get user IPs and the referer header, then sent demands to users for illegally downloading copyrighted material.

A court initially rubber-stamped the requests for IP info from the law firm.

A better judge/court clarified the law (streaming is fine in Germany) in that case and there were hopefully consequences for the law firm and the lawyers involved, but some suckers paid hush money first.

That is nonsense.

At least in the US, no one has ever been charged for using (implicitly non-p2p) streaming sites. People are charged for distribution - that is, the upload portion of p2p. Just viewing stuff in your browser is perfectly safe without a VPN.

[–] Ocelot@lemmies.world -1 points 1 year ago

Right, the concern is that is true until it isn't safe. Someone is going to be the first to be charged.

This list comes in useful for people who are not tech savvy to stream shit. Just make sure they have some form of adblock for sure. https://fmhy.pages.dev/videopiracyguide/#dedicated-hosts

My main suggestion is to make your pirate searches using Yandex. Most book names "pdf" will give a result. You can also filter to only show sites of a specific language.

For any metal/rock music, I use getmetal.club

For comics I use getcomics.org

EDIT: took away the www, and actually spelt "get" right which should fix the links. Sorry everyone!

Yeah, tbh most people do not use it to its full capabilities!

[–] ksmikaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

How do you use it? Teach us in your ways

You know I just thought about sharing my entire piracy bookmark folder (while excluding some subfolders and/or sites) on Brave Android, is there any way to do so?

Most browsers have a setting that lets you export your favorites as an HTML file.
