No it didn't. I wouldn't have bought the stuff I torrent anyway.

>>211682692 (OP)
Someone created the content that you would pirate, and they are not getting the profits they should make from their efforts.

I don't care about arguments saying it doesn't matter, like "I wouldn't buy it if I had to pay for it, so they wouldn't make profits from me anyway". It's still unethical to steal something. You're still taking advantage of someone's work.

The same thing goes for making a copy from someone who paid for the work. Maybe your friend paid for a movie. It's ok to watch it with them, but not ok to make a copy of your own

>>211682834
qBittorrent/Jellyfin, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, qBittorrent plus Jellyfin. Jellyfin is not a streaming service unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning qBittorrent system made useful by the qBittorrent corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full pirating setup as defined by ARR.

>Someone created the content that you would pirate, and they are not getting the profits they should make from their efforts.
They already got paid. Pirating simply cuts out the distributor, who has nothing to do with the film's creation.

>>211682953
I only torrent works older than 14 years, which was the original copyright length before lobbying (bribes) extended it. I buy new games or movies but I don't see why I should pay money for something like a rom of Mario 64. I made an exception for textbooks when I was in college, but the prices were unethical. ($200 for a new edition when the old edition was $20 and the only changes were minor)

You can price your apples at $50 a pound, but when desperate and hungry people steal them because all the groceries are unaffordable, who is being unethical?

copying IS a form of stealing but at the end of the day these kikes live in a closed off ecosystem that drains tax dollars, receives federal funding and bailouts, puts nothing back into the economy save for a wealthy few, puts nothing back into society save for mostly dogshit media - and they all rely on stealing whatever ideas, characters, even entire plots, whenever and wherever they can steal it from others

they are being stolen from but they absolutely deserve it. it is morally righteous to pirate media from rich and duplicitous kikes

I disagree.
Me making a copy of a famous painting isn't stealing shit. I don't care how deathly accurate it is to the original, it can be 10% similar, it can be 99.999% accurate. Doesn't matter. Fact of the matter its a copy. Original piece still exists. I just happen to own a replica of the original.

I don't care about arguments either. I'm gonna keep pirating, deal with it.

>>211683993
physical products are different because you're not making "a copy" you're just reproducing it in a lesser form - and i know some semantics autist is going to give me the "BUH DAT WHAT COPY IS" but listen

if you print out a picture of the mona lisa, that is an individual, unique reproduction of the mona lisa. it wasn't made with paint, it wasn't made on canvas, it wasn't framed with the original wood, and it wasn't made by the original creator of the mona lisa - so yeah, it's a shit reproduction, but it is now it's own physical, discrete object with qualities separate from the original

with a movie/tv show/video game or any other digital or digitized work you are getting an exact copy down to the second of runtime or down to the individual levels of gameplay or down to the final word of a book. your copy and the released original are the exact same - and if they're a product then yes for all intents and purposes you did steal it

but that's where i again come back to how it is moral to steal from thieves, which is what these faggots are. it's an awkward camp of opinion to sit in, i know. i also believe abortion is murder even from the point conception but conversely i think we should have strict eugenic practices and a system of breeding privileges - and consequently that infanticide is okay if it means ridding the world of a shit baby that will grow to be a useless shit mongrel

>uses tens of thousands of gb of ram

>feelsgoodman.jpg

>>211684345
i'm realizing now i've complicated my metaphor by picking the art of a man who's been dead for half a millennia. obviously owning a digital copy of the mona lisa isn't stealing either because the original creator is dead and the original owners leonardo da vinci made the painting for are also dead - and suddenly printing it out wouldn't make it go from stealing to not stealing

hopefully you get what i mean already, i'm like 6 hours past when i usually sleep

>>211684363
Pirating media is bad for the environment.

>>211684427
You also complicated your metaphor by claiming that the product was stolen when the original is still in its owner's possession.

>>211682692 (OP)
But at what cost? Oh, right. No cost

>>211684515
>company releases X the movie
>company charges specific amount of money to watch X the movie in theaters, to own X the movie as a physical product, or to temporarily be able to access X the movie on a streaming platform
>you do not pay this fee and gain a copy of X the movie anyway
>you have now consumed a product without paying the fee entailed by the company, creators of said product, to consume the product

i would say that is stealing it, yes. again, that's as far as it needs to go objectively speaking. "the company" is a bunch of jew rats and "x the movie" is some dogshit not worth the price they're asking that they've pieced together from several scripts they stole and didn't pay for themselves

it's why i brought up the abortion thing. it's also a topic that is driven by a vehicle of objectivity into a brick wall of subjectivity.
i have driven a lot of women into insane, harpy-like cunt babbling about every twitter talking point in the book by telling them those basic truths: abortion is murder because you are killing someone, "something" becomes "someone" the second the sperm successfully fertilizes the ovum, murder is okay if the baby will create problems for the world or the mother - every animal does it - and we've been doing it since time immemorial too

something in their brains won't let them get to that final point where it loops back around to being okay because of the intricacies of the moral framework our universe abides by

DONT YOU HECKIN KNOW WHAT A HDMI CABLE IS

I just feel like there's less torrents out there nowadays, and less seeders for the stuff that isn't just Marvel movies too. Like everything that isn't a top 100 thing will require scouring and eons to download, maybe everything's gone to private trackers but I also feel like so much is now on just direct download sites. You used to be able to search for really weird shit like collections of textbooks and artbooks and get at least a couple seeders, but now that shit is dead

What’s the most /g/ way to implement Jellyfin in your home media setup?

>>211686542
Have you installed any search plugins

>>211683499
while i agree with you its all about use case. i used to only download movies/tv/anime to watch in my room so it made sense to just HDMI my laptop to my tv. but now i have a desktop and i started using plex so i can share what i pirate with the homies. before i was literally going to their houses with flash drives when they wanted to watch something. now its seamless. I also would sometimes connect an external drive to my tv since it has a usb connection but the media player app on my tv is generally shit, doesnt support some codecs and constantly fucked up subtitles. plex/jellyfin fixed all that

tl;dr if youre only watching the stuff yourself and only in one room you dont need plex/jellyfin but if you want to watch anywhere and or share with others you should use plex/jellyfin

>>211686557
pretty much exactly how i expected you cow out you little bitch

>>211686607

>>211684345
>with a movie/tv show/video game or any other digital or digitized work you are getting an exact copy down to the second of runtime
no. an exact copy would be getting the premiere pro timeline of the movie/show or the source code in the engine of the game complete will all necessary files and assets

>>211685244
>private trackers

>>211684345
A digital copy is the same thing as a physical copy. Just because the former is ostensibly more accurate of a copy than the latter does not negate the fact that it's still a copy. Accuracy does not matter. A copy is a copy.
I'm not talking about printing a picture of a famous painting. I'm talking about making an exact replica right down to the brush strokes and everything.
I can flesh this further. If I decide to make KFC chicken using a leaked recipe, I have stolen nothing. Even if I happened to figure out how to copy the recipe by my own means, I've stolen nothing. KFC can still sell their product.
Sure, you can argue that you're paying for the convenience at that point instead of replicating the product. But same can be said for piracy. I could pay for the convenience of a digital download instantly at my preferred quality, or I could use P2P methods which entails having to filter for my preferred quality and hoping there are enough seeders which means I could suffer from a very slow download speed that I would have otherwise paid for a faster download.
And on the topic of accuracy, it all falls apart once you are trying to translate physcial media to digital media. Ripping a Bluray disc to a digital file comes with some loss, therefore not a perfect replica. Plus, by downloading a digital copy, I sacrifice having a physical copy on bluray.
I could go on, this is a nuanced topic. Suffice to say, I don't think it's as absolutist as you claim it is.

>>211686847
The only real rule on almost every tracker is don't but and run aka seed your shit. Which is how it should be in the first place. Even on public trackers I still seed.

>>211687055
as someone on 4 private trackers there is absolutely the concept that youre gonna have to download shit other than what you actually want to keep a ratio even if its only at the start. a lot of shit ive downloaded because i actually wanted it were older tv shows that i barely got points or upload for but if you grab the newest freeleech nonsense which you're 100% incentivized to do it makes it easier. thats the part i hate the most i only want to download what i want not play some bonus points game. and yes i seed on public trackers more than i do on privates because its easy and doesnt require any bullshit

>>211686879
To add to this, digital copies are never 1:1. There is always room for error. Computers still run on hardware and there is always room for copying errors. Perhaps not even noticeable to humans, but still able to produce errors.
Either way, my whole point is that "accuracy" does not determine whether a copy is theft or not.

I use realdebrid via Stremio on my tv, do I even need anything else?
I rarely encounter a show or movie that I can't find. I got tired of torrenting and organizing shit

>>211687194
modern disc media is error correcting so any remux or direct disc dump of a movie would be 1:1, otherwise you’d see corruption in the video or audio stream noticeably. the same goes for streams except you just download what the server gives you. bits don’t randomly corrupt or change unless you have bad RAM.

bros

>>211687411
Recheck the file.

>>211686879
Sure yeah, theft means the original product or production copy no longer exists. But that definition falls apart for digital products because there is an infinite number of copies available for purchase.
Theft is the unlawful taking of property owned by another. Which doesn't necessarily mean that said piece of property is no longer available to the original owner.
I can't say for sure, I think it's moral grey area. I don't agree totally with pirates, nor do I totally agree with corpo whiteknights.

The femoid streaming service brain is real. They only want to watch things that other people are watching or talking about.

Jellyfin is a server. You can use it to stream your media library to any device that supports the client. Roku, Fire, Apple TV, etc.
