Weird... why is piracy growing then? Every reasonable person should pay $300 to watch the shows they want on the weekend... and then pay a couple more hundreds in the theater.

Encryption doesn't protect you from being identified. Encryption prevents eavesdropping unto the connection from a third party. DMCA lawyers don't need to do that to identify you as a seeder. All they need to do is request the content from you, watch you send to them, and make a record of your ip address.

The blacklist, maybe protects you. No idea. Though it can easily be circumvented by a motivated group.

For the record, payment is optional.

Use http://grayjay.app

EDIT: I'm fascinated by the childishness of those who are complaining about the $10. Not only you don't have to pay it, and not only that it's open source, and not only the intentions are clear on why it's not a permissive license made to fight filling average Joe with malware like always being done with NewPipe and others on Play Store, but also you can pick your poison. Would you like google to win this dumb war on ad blockers? Or would you like to support non-perfect people making FOSS apps for your benefit? I really don't get you, guys. Pick your battles! Take the win and shut up for once!

You mean people shouldn't chase that sweet, sweet fake internet score?

Try it out and decide for yourself.

I'm not sure I understand your philosophy there or you're joking. Why is GPL so important? Isn't the purpose of open-source to validate that no funny business is happening?

It's open source and it's free. You're free to pay too if you want to support them. Software costs money.

What Louis is protecting against in his license is repurposing the app with malware and ads like was repeatedly done with new pipe. Pick your poison.

Try grayjay... it's an AWESOME new app, open source, and supports all video networks you can think of as plugins.

It's available on: grayjay.app

Obviously whoever is going to make the decision on what is "misinformation" and what's not, has always been right... and can never, ever, ever have ulterior motives.

All good. Nothing to see here.
