What's up with people on the piracy subreddit always talking about how they pay for stuff. your on a piracy community and they talk about purchasing digital goods? I don't get it. New piracy gen ? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

when amazon books could be de-drmed and "my" torrent site showed an interest/appreciation for uploaders i often uploaded ebouks i had bought.

well, both is no longer the case but if it were i still would.

i also occassionally buy music, books and even movies i very much like.

also i adhore being dependant on the whims of a company, being it amazon, netflix or spotify. i want a physical or at least selfowned copy of what i paid for and not only the licence to consume.

[Solved] Can't send selected pirated ebooks through the Send-To-Kindle service to my Kindle. Is it some kind of background piracy detection? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

AFAIK epub is not universally supported and def. not by any kindle.

best dl, run through calibre (convert to mobi/azw) and transfer this via usb to kindle.

Bunch downloading torrent files (feddit.de)
 

ok, i usually get a big bunch of .torrent files once a month, run a short filtering and dump them all into transmission on a seedbox.

this worked fine with firefox and downthemall extension. however probably due to ff permanent and non stoppable upgrading the extension no longer works. while trying to figure it out i thought that maybe there are other/better ways. so, if you bulk download how have you organised it?

i still want to

get the files as search results (according to searcf filters),

be able to get rid of duplicates (which are renamed like filex(1).torrent so easily to be found and removed)

and have a look at them before handing them off to transmission

what would you suggest?
